Try fishing deep on Heath when the sun is up. Find brush or rocks near the channels, especially the end of points where they drop off into the channel. A Carolina rig allows you to fish the deeper cover easier. Stick with the bigger worms for the bigger bass in this lake. Public Fishing Areas are great places to take kids fishing. Successful retail cooperative, Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI), has two Bay Area branches, but you’ll only find camping stoves, backpacks and snowshoe rentals at the San Francisco location. The Berkley store can hook you up with those items plus tents, sleeping bags and pads, and mountaineering gear. 840 Brannan St., San Francisco, CA 94103.

4# Jaw Jacker Automatic Ice Fishing Hook Setter & Rod Holder. One of the best holders for ice fishing. It can hold your fishing rod with a reel. The design is suitable for fishing rods of any size. But it is advisable to use light rods. If the load is too large, the hook may break out. It is easy to install and use. The current was slow, so we placed a few baits at the surface. I hooked a pilchard near its throat, and free-lined it on a spinning rod. By briefly stopping the line to restrict its forward motion, I made the bait surge forward to cover more territory. Best yet, the hook weight and placement, and tugging, forced it deeper.

I had my first gloryhole experience in 1990, when I was 19. Bored one night in the dorms, a friend and I decided to check out the adult bookstore near our university. We nervously gave the clerk $5 for our tokens and headed into the damp, musky-smelling “arcade” in back. Slipping into an empty booth, we giggled when the gay-porn actors moaned and grunted, “That’s it, fuck me harder, buddy!”

Then I felt something nudge my shoulder in the darkness. Startled, I turned to see the pinkest, hardest, most disembodied cock staring me right in the face. I screamed, but regained my composure enough to grab it and give it a couple quick tugs before my friend and I burst out laughing and ran out of the booth, straight out the front door.

I went back the next night, by myself.

Years later, the art of anonymous gay sex has changed dramatically, mostly for the better. But I find hook-up apps take the thrill, the anonymity, and the immediate pleasure out of the game. (Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to delete my Scruff account anytime soon.) They’re a great way to pass the time while you’re waiting for your turn at the STD clinic, but I find the endless scrolling and swiping left or right boring. I don’t have the patience for the short-lived excitement of someone unlocking only to discover that they don’t share nudes — or, worse, that their homes are disgusting and unsanitary. Then there’s the pointless back and forth: “can u host?”

Just shut the fuck up and show me your cock or hole.

I prefer cruising. I like walking into a public restroom and noticing too many men hanging about with a nervous, expectant energy. Someone gives a furtive glance followed by a flash of hard cock at the urinal. No one exchanges names or makes small-talk. There might be an impromptu circle-jerk, or you might slip into an empty stall or meet in a more private restroom for a quick fuck. If there’s a gloryhole, you can slide your dick in and let a stranger on the other side jerk it off or suck it. It’s immediate gratification — and it feels sexy and dangerous.

Soon after my first college encounter, I noticed gloryholes all over campus and started spending most of my study time in the restrooms. It wasn’t long before I figured out the code. A toe tapping on the floor signaled an interested party. (Hey, Sen. Larry Craig!) An eye peeping through a hole or crack in the stall followed by the motioning of a finger meant he wanted you to stick your dick under for some anonymous action. Sometimes, a guy would slip a pen with a note written on toilet paper under the stall: “What are you into?” or “Meet me in the second-floor restroom.” The creak of an outer door or the clearing of a throat would signal that someone was coming. While the goal was always to get off, the real thrill was following a hot guy: the waiting, the peeking, the hunt, the anticipation. The cruise. Part of the excitement is the chance of being watched — or getting caught.

Cottaging, cruising, visiting the tearooms, or whatever you want to call it often takes place on college campuses and in shopping malls, parks, and rest stops on the highway. You can also find guys cruising on beaches, wooded areas, on the street, and in adult bookstores. Marshall’s Beach — aka “Dirty Boy” Beach, near the Golden Gate Bridge — has long been a place for stripping down to your birthday suit and catch a little action. When it’s foggy, restrooms in department stores and hotels near Union Square are good cruising spots. If the risk of getting busted is too scary, you can always head over to Folsom Gulch, Blow Buddies, or go to an SF Jacks meeting.

Cruising has a long history, especially during times and in places where “homosexual conduct” was illegal and gay bars or other meeting spaces were nonexistent. In 1970, sociologist Laud Humphreys published his controversial doctoral research that chronicled the behaviors of men cruising, taking on the role of “watch queen” in order to observe his subjects without their consent. His book, Tearoom Trade, is now taught in university research courses as an example of unethical research.

In the mid-’90s, there was a crackdown across the U.S. In some places, newspapers posted the names of men who were busted, shaming them and causing the loss of many jobs and the needless destruction of many personal lives — and leading to more than a few suicides. In response, a group in New York called SexPanic! fought back to protect sex in public. I was living there at the time, and I’d see their fliers everywhere. I benefited from their work by spending hours cruising the restrooms at NYU and in Washington Square Park. Around the same time, pop star George Michael was arrested for cruising in a park in Los Angeles. He responded by recording the song and music video “Outside” in celebration of his sexuality and love of public sex.

Grindr, Scruff, Tindr, Growlr, and so many other apps may be the norm, but cruising is alive and well. So when you’re ready to try something a little more exciting, put on some loose shorts or tight jeans, and head to a local cruising spot. Cruisingforsex.com is a great place to find listings, complete with reviews and heads up notices for police activity. Have a fun, sexy time, and remember to stay safe — both from physical danger and by protecting yourself from STDs and HIV. And don’t forget that public sex is illegal in most places, so don’t get arrested. Happy hunting, boys!

Was not expecting this place to be so gluten friendly (gluten free Chicken & Waffles!!) They have a dedicated gf fryer and gf buns available too. Fun atmosphere, plenty of TV’s, great service.

Voted Best Brother's Bar in Westword's Best of Denver 2011!

Fantastic vibe, stellar cocktails.

I love everything they do. Try something adventurous!

Must get the ice cream sandwich! The cookies are soft and fresh and the ice cream is deliciously creamy, just be sure to grab a few extra napkins!

The ice cream is good but the servings are tiny. For $3.25 you get a scoop that is very small.

Any sammich is delicious! The Brooklyn Bombshell special is killer!

This spot sports a ping pong table, a killer patio, and an incredible brunch. The move here is the Pig and Grits, a dish with twice-cooked smoked pork, buttermilk grits, and a slow poached egg. Read more.

Great Saturday happy hour and atmosphere.

Fun place to hang out with friends.
