Hat to......and I mean HAD TO get out of the house and get OUTSIDE today.....Even just for a little while....was going a little cabin Crazy looking at the same walls all the time.......Work, eat, sleep, REPEAT, is all I seem to DO anymore.
Hit Fort Baker just before 10:30am......think the tide was outgoing........Fished GULP Camo Sandworms hoping for perch......NADA.....Switched out to try for dabs and only came home with 4 small ones.....Barely enough for a meal.....MIGHT have shot myself in the foot by sticking to the GULP Sandworms, but they stay on the hook pretty damn well.......My GO-TO for Dabs is usually SQUID....But it is just too damn expensive these days.......One perch (a white I think) caught while I was there.........NO JACKSMELT.......I caught a TINY Brown Rockfish and the little BLEEP stung the HELL out of me while I was trying to unhook it.......Crabbing POOR.......Porpoises.....A LOT OF THEM......Real close to the pier, which was cool........
Just not enough fish to make the trip worth wile ........ It WAS a SUCCESSFUL TRIP........I caught TARGETED SPECIES.......but......

-Thanks for the report! And wish I could’ve been there as I still have 2# of fresh squid from a 3# box of Wild Pacific brand that I got at the 99. Surprising that there were no smelt about.
-The Eastbay has been devoid of fish since the storm last Saturday. Presumably too much freshwater and low water temperatures.
-View from my office where all my squid came back untouched. So fresh, the crabs have moved out. Wish I would have measured the freshwater content with my hydrometer.

Yeah, it went up in the past few years for people who used to buy it at Safeway for $2.99 for 3# @ 1#. Then, it was at $2/lb with 3# $5.98.
In the Eastbay now, I paid $4/lb @ Ranch 99 El Cerrito (Richmond Annex), so $12 for 3#.
I definitely divided into 1# increments so it’s not defrosted/refrozen/defrosted the entire lot.

SKUNKED........My friend managed one big dab, 2 small dabs, and a buffalo sculpin......I saw one jacksmelt caught.......That was about it......Crabbing sucked for just about everybody.......Have to think it is all about the salinity at the moment.
