Work intrudes on my fishing

Recently, I have been supplementing my income. The pay is enough to buy a new trap and cage, so I'll be able to start replacing the rigs that the sealions have been munching. For some reason, the small traps used with rods dont seem to get attacked - maybe they're just harder to see. One experiment which might work, is to put some of the rod traps in the ring traps. But I suppose the ideal answer is to go to home depot and rig something up myself with chicken wire.

Fishing after storms.

Recently I wrote that I picked up some light crabs after heavy rains; well last week it rained really bad here, yet Thursday I picked up heavy crabs at Fort Point. Go figure! The fishing itself was lousy, because I turned up at low tide, and for the 4 hours I was around, the tide wasnt moving any which way.

The Lazy SeaLion was being as irritating as usual. I really need to construct a heavier kind of trap. I'm thinking some sort of steel cage, covered in finer mesh, which I can bolt directly to the inner ring of the trap. I saw something like a decent base for that in goodwill - regretting now that I didnt pick it up.

A second thought I have is to put a finer mesh also on the trap - see if I can pick up any shrimp.

Apparently there was a sewage spill over at Sausalito - maybe all the crabs were over there!
