EUREKA — Crabbing continues to be excellent when the boats can get out. There hasn’t been much action this week due to the storms. Prior to the rough weather, boats were reporting easy limits of big crab fishing either side of the entrance in roughly 100 feet of water. On an overnight soak, boats were averaging 10 to 15 keepers. Conditions don’t look good through the weekend and into next week. Dungeness crab season remains open with no restrictions. Rockfish season is limited to outside of 50 fathoms and will close after Dec. 31 for boat-based anglers.

SHELTER COVE — “We only fished a couple days this week, and the rockfish bite was a little tougher, but still good,” said Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “We spent most of our time just outside the Hat. Crabbing is still going strong, with easy limits of nice crab.” Dungeness crab season remains open with no restrictions. Rockfish season is limited to outside of 50 fathoms and will close after Dec. 31 for boat-based anglers.
