"Help me, I'm melting!"

Decided to take the day off an go fishing on Monday, as the Bay Area is sweltering under a heatwave. I spent most of the day in the shade by Torpedo Pier, drinking water.

The fishing was somewhat poor, as I only caught a red, a brown, and a dungie (returned, but too small to feel bad about having done so). Both crabs were reasonably heavy though, and had some decent brown meat. The weather was unbearably hot, and the tide moved from slack to fast incoming while I was there. The red was caught in the slack, the brown just at the beginning of the tide.

Today I have installed a moon-phase calender on the blog, and maybe someday I'll find a tide indicator also.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear from others that are fishing out there; any tips are welcome, also any observations regarding best time to fish, and how it relates to time of day, tide, moon, weather, etc.
