I used to anchore at Drakes Bay (Pt Reyes) while on multiple day trips.
The bay is about 35 deep or so where we would set camp.
We would alway fill our big crab pot when left out over night.
Being that you are not protected by kelp I'm not sure I'd dive there, but then again I'm the kind of guy that's afraid to go for abs.
GW breeding grounds are just around the corner.
In the Monterey area the dunguness are to deep to harvest.
YMMV.

I dove on the sheltered side of the jetty on Doran beach, caught 3 each for a 50 minute dive, I guess that was alright, one was right against the rocks, walking away from a hoop net set out by some people on shore, I grabbed it and ascended, offered it to them. I know they likely wouldn't have caught it, but I didn't want them to think in the slightest that i got if from their net.
Vallenar Bay in Ketchikan, Alaska. Every time we hit the water, we come up with the limit, and quick. Weather and season doesn't seem to play a part. The only pain were the pissed off sea lions who continually charge, stop a few inches away from your face, and blow bubbles out of their nose. Tongass Narrows can get a little choppy from time to time also (especially in a center console).
The bay is also home to tiny dolphin, seals, and whales come by on the outside very frequently.

Jamie

I limited yesterday in short order here in California. With only one week left of the season I figured I would take one more opportunity to gather some dungies. Tasty!
