Two crabbers caught their Dungeness limits across the bay yesterday. The pier was slow. No other word got to me. The regulations for this year are still to be determined for salmon. The local meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.at the Sonoma County Water Agency, 404 Aviation Blvd. in Santa Rosa. I hear that the Pacific Fisheries Management Council are considering a one fish over 26" limit for this year. This meeting is your opportunity to voice your opinion. Sure, it probably won't help, but sometimes it just feels good to vent. Another note, this year you may not allow your abalone to mix with someone else's abalone, at least until you've properly attached your tags. Just one more little step to remember.
