I heard it was a mad house @ the Pacifica Pier, So second option was to go to the beach and do some crab snaring. it turn out we had a great time. The beach was quiet, it wasn't crowded and the heavy thick fog had something to do with it. bait up with squid in the snare and sling it out as far it could go and let it sit for about 10 min and check to see if the line is tight and if it is. pull hard and crank as fast as possible. The end results were this delicious crustances for dinner
