BODEGA BAY

Crabbing Still Good

With the rockfish season closed until June anglers will continue to see decent counts of crabs for the next two months. Most of the near shore commercial pressure has spread out and sport anglers are seeing 2 to 4 crabs per pot.
Captain Rick Powers of Bodega Bay Sport Fishing has decided to pull the plug on squid fishing for the second consecutive year. They searched once again on Saturday 1-28 for the suddenly elusive cephalopod; and after finding none, he salvaged the trip with 26 limits of commercial grade Dungeness crab. Powers said, “The crab limits have been easy, and they are stuffed with meat at this time of year.” He has also located a good spot for sand dabs in 300 feet of water, and he will be concentrating on sand dab/crab combinations until the start of salmon season.

Marine Weather
With the Point Arena, San Francisco and Bodega Bay buoys all out of service it's been tough to judge conditions. There are some land based weather stations, wave rider and even webcams that readers can use to assess current conditions.  The Point Reyes wind observations or wave conditions at the San Francisco wave rider buoy are good tools for Golden Gate anglers.  For Bodega Bay anglers you can use both the Point Reyes wind observations and the Bodega Bay Marine lab web cam at Horseshoe Cove and conditions at the Point Arena light house. For Monterey based anglers looking for conditions inside Monterey bay can use the Monterey Bay Aquarium buoy.
