     I mentioned a video about a boat crossing the bar a while back. Alec decided to make it a PSA so it took a while to prepare (he does actually work). Here is the finished product. Apologies for the cameraman who flinched during a jump or two. A little PTSD? Maybe. But you can get the gist of it.
     Day two of the Dungeness season and the crabs held up. Mostly good reports from the bay again. Nobody went out today as the bar was constant sadness. This morning you could hardly see the channel from the fog spray coming off of the breakers. Who needs out when there's  crab inside? Standard rules for Tomales Bay apply: Avoid strong current areas except at the tide turn when you want to hit them momentarily, weight your hoop so it doesn't travel, pull early and often and move if no critters are present. Universal rule; it is hard to catch anything if the thing you want to catch is not there. Move. Move again. Sometimes the move is 20 feet. But don't dedicate your day to dead holes.
