I live in Alameda and have had zero luck from shore lately. I stop and chat with most of the fisherman I see that are fishing for stripers and nobody seems to be getting any either for most of July. I was out on the Rockwall yesterday and didn’t even see any fishing kayaks in the Bay.
I’m a little bit new at this, my second year, so just wondering is July typically a dead time in the bay or are they just somewhere besides Alameda?

I was walking up Valencia the other night after a show at the Chapel, following along behind a big Latino guy toward the 16th St Bart station, and noticed that he was whistling quietly to people standing in doorways along the way and they were whistling back to him. It’s my assumption that there was some drug dealing communication going on, based on the people he was whistling to, but was it some actual coded communication or just whistles of greeting or recognition? Anyway, it was kind of interesting.

I'm new to the game, and wanting to get over to the San Mateo coastline this long weekend. Looking at Surf-forecast.com I think very early Sunday morning looks like the best conditions. But am I reading it right, and will Saturday and Monday be reasonably fishable too?

Does anybody know if it will fit? Is the piece that goes into the hitch receiver long enough to extend out past the spare tire? Or if there is an extender that would work?
Thanks

UPDATE – WALLET FOUND, AND TURNED IN. An awesome kid found my wallet and gave it to an adult who turned it into the police department. I love this city!!

I know the chances of return are very low, but Alameda is a special place so the chances are better than other places. My wallet fell out of my pocket while I was on a bike ride right now. The route I took was Washington street -> Fernside -> bike bridge -> shoreline bike path -> left on the cutoff to Avington Rd. on Bayfarm -> Avington to the greenbelt bike path -> past the toddler playground -> Roxberg -> Sheffield -> Puddingstone -> Robert Davey -> Oyster Pond -> Wellfleet -> back into the greenbelt and over the bridge over the lagoon -> bike path to Safeway. If I had to guess I'd guess it shook out on the bumpy bike bridge.
I've turned off my credit and debit cards so it's not the end of the world but if you happen to find a wallet I would sure be grateful for a DM here. Many thanks!!
