Wanted to get some crabs and fresh air so headed north for some New Years crab . Fished from 6 to 9 pm only to find slow fishing . Fresh frozen dines from the receiver as usual for bait . Seems like many more fisherman than years past with hoopnets . Could that be why my catch rates are lower ? Anglers were scratching anchovy on the sabiki rigs and spoke with another angler and he mentioned that at times the schools have been thick . Nets only tonight and didn't bother to break out the rods . Came home with some New Year crab and better yet got to relax on the pier for a bit . Can't complain .
Stearns Wharf again

Were you going for Rock Crab or Dungies? I thought Dungies didn't occur much south of Monterey Bay area. Please update me if I'm wrong...
If I can catch some dungies in Santa Barbara... Maybe worth the drive then.
But have to drive up to Pismo or somesuch to use snares rather than hoop nets still...
