Dear Andrew;-
        You're right about bays. When I was a kid, my Dad took me fishing most
Sundays. We went to that big curved pier at the end of Van Ness avenue
in San Francisco. You had to get there early to get space. We caught
smelt, perch, anchovy, flounder, a whole bunch of other species that we
named on the spot. Other people caught those great white sea bass and
the occasional shark. Go see the pier today---any Sunday. It makes a
nice, quiet walk; plenty of places to sit, damn few fishermen.
