Gosh - what a beautiful night.
Finally got a break in the weather - for a while there, I thought I
was living in Seattle what with all rain and cloudy weather. Got out the Celestron and did a little star gazing for a while. Nice and peaceful, spotted some sats - general looking around. Really nice night - even started seeing some lightning bugs which is a first for this year. |

I can think of a couple things but they can't be right. Oh, by the way, it's 76*/95% humidity here in central Fl, just like it is every night this time of year. I wouldn't trade it for snow though. |

I took the boat out on San Francisco Bay this morning. Got up early and launched at the crack of 10 am. Trolled for halibut and stripped Bass. No joy, so went over to San Bruno Shoals. A high spot between Oakland Airport and San Fran airport. in the middle of the bay. Anchor fishing, landed a couple small Mud Marlins (Bat Rays) and a few Smooth Hound sharks. Was fun. Another boat at the ramp lost a 7' 7 gill shark at the boat. They are a good tasting shark. Afternoon winds came up, and with the offshore fog bank, cooled down to maybe 65. Went in, clean boat, and headed off to welding class. Life is good. Was maybe 80 and 20% humidity at home. |

We're having quite the debate back East about sharking. There's some alarming evidence that the normal numbers of dogfish are decreasing along with some other species we see off the islands this time of year. Apparently doggies are popular in Britian for use in fish 'n chips - who knew. There's been some suggestion that the makos, blues and sand sharks normally visiting the environs by this time just aren't there and it's been getting worse every year since about 2004. |

We can send you some Blues. The most overfished are the Threshers. Most off our coast are juniors. So the teenagers are wiped out a lot. The Smoothhounds are about 2-3' and not edible as far as I know. The 7 gills and the Leopard sharks are very edible. Leopards have to be 36", so that keeps a large population reproducing. Must are C&Red. Fun to catch a 20-80# bat ray. |

Terrific sal****er and freshwater fishing. Serious potable water problems. Serious grey and black water problems. Pretty beaches. Fascinating Latin culture on lower east coast. Great place to visit (south Florida) in the dead of northern winter. Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Flat, ugly terrain over much of state. It's a mixed bag. |
