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.
