I'm assuming no guides are going tomorrow, but if someone is and has room for one, either tomorrow or Friday, let me know! … See MoreSee Less

People keep calling for predictions; all I can tell you is check the night before AND before you head this way. If you need to call as you are getting ready to leave, that is fine, but I cannot tell you what tve weather will be like in one hour, let alone on Friday, Saturday or Sunday (and neither can the meteoroligists!) I can tell you that it often is not near as bad as they predict, and as of 2:45 pm on Wednesday, tomorrow is probably the worst day because they predict east wind. Friday through Sunday is predicted to be south.

There were 2 guides and a few random people today, they got their crab. But there is very little effort and I'm very honest – I'm not gonna say it's red hot when I have no reports. I will say the weather has not been bad enough to affect the crab, and it should ve as good as it has been. But I'm not a crab, who knows what they think?

It is unseasonably warm (65 today!) and I don't think there was an "atmospheric river" as predicted. But we will see how it plays out!
