BIZARRE

World’s Largest Fish Breeding Colony Discovered ANTARCTICA — A new study from Jan. 13 has found the world’s largest known colony of breeding fish 500 meters below the ice covering Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. The fish, Notothenioid icefish, are found in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica and are the only known vertebrates that lack hemoglobin in their blood as adults.

The study was conducted under Current Biology and written by Autun Purser, Laura Hehemann, Lillian Boehringer, Andreas Rogge, Moritz Holtappels, and Frank Wenzhoefer.

An estimated 60 million active nests of this icefish stretch across at least 240 square kilometers, nearly the size of Orlando, Florida. The unique colony represents a fish biomass (the whole body, wet-weight, of the in-water part of a fishable population) of more than 60,000 tons, equivalent to 135 million pounds. It is known that many fish will make nests, but until now, researchers have encountered only a handful of icefish nests. Even the most generous of nest building fish were known to gather on in the hundreds.

Most of the nests were found occupied by one adult fish guarding about 1,735 eggs. The bottom water temperatures

It is estimated that the breeding colony covers at least 240 square kilometers and includes about 60 million live nests. The unprecedented colony represents a fish biomass of more than 60,000 tons or over 135 million pounds. measured across the nesting colony were two degrees Celsius warmer that the surrounding bottom waters.

“This indicates a spatial correlation between the modified Warm Deep Water (mWDW) upflow onto the Weddell Shelf and the active nesting area,” said the study.

The study also suggested that that congested areas of nesting may be being utilized by predators such as Weddell seals.

“Numerous degraded fish carcasses within and near the nesting colony suggest that, in death as well as life, these

The majority of the nests that were discovered were occupied by a single adult fish guarding more than 1,700 eggs. Researchers are interested in this area of the seafloor because it included an upwelling of water 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the surrounding bottom waters.

fish provide input for local food webs and influence local biogeochemical processing.,” said the study.

Deep-sea biologist Autun Purser of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, and colleagues stumbled across the massive colony in early 2021 while on a research cruise in the Weddell Sea, located between the Antarctic Peninsula and the main continent.

It is unclear why so many icefishes have gathered in one spot to breed. However, there appears to be suitable access to plankton in this location, which would be

a crucial food source for newly hatched fish. The team also found a zone with slightly warmer water in the area, which could help the icefish locate the breeding ground.

As for now, Purser has two seafloor cameras at the colony site, where they will remain for the next few years to take photos four times a day to see if the nests are ever reused over time.

UNITED STATES— In February

1894, the first American steelrigged ship, Dirigo, was built in Bath, Maine. The four-masted ship was built and owned

by Arthur Sewall & Co., constructed of imported steel plates and shipbuilding labor; it was built at the Sewall Shipyard in Bath. The Sewall shipyard was the only yard in the country at the time to switch from building wooden sailing vessels to building steel vessels.

The Dirigo was designed as a typical British design from the

1890s; while other ships had been built of iron or equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine these features in a large oceangoing ship.

Eight more steel vessels were built following the completion of Dirigo, which is the Maine state motto meaning “I lead” in Latin.

Dirigo weighed 3,005 gross tons and registered at a length of 312 feet. Arthur Sewall & Co. owned her until 1915 when they sold her to her San Francisco owners.

Beginning in 1889, The Sewalls had started building very large Down Easters.

Beginning with the launch of the Rappahannock, Sewall created a series of 300-foot, 3,000-ton ships.

Whaler is a welcoming sight in Channel Islands Harbor (JAN. 27)

Q A

Do you know about the tours to the public?

The Mystic Whaler is expected to take a few months before being open to the public, and the buyer is currently on track to have the ship open for public tours by late spring, early summer of 2022.

The Mystic Whaler was purchased by a private buyer who plans to use the vessel for educational programs. An in depth article explaining the Mystic Whaler, written by Catherine

French for the Log, can be found on the Log’s website.

The private buyer is currently going through the process of hiring the crew who will permanently man the tall ship.

The Channel Islands Harbor has had tall ships in the past that were free to visit but welcomed donations from the public.

The donations went towards paying the crew members and although it has not been determined yet, it is likely that the Mystic Whaler will operate the same way.

In comparison to other cities that have tall ship exhibits, the ticket price averaged between $3-$5.

LOCAL Brian Pendleton Has Been Recognized as General Manager of the Year VENTURA— Brian Pendleton, who has been at the helm of the Ventura Port District since 2019, was honored with General Manager of The Year by Ventura County Special Districts Association (VCSDA).

“All of the members of the Ventura County Special Districts Association are proud of Pendleton’s numerous achievements on behalf of the Ventura Port District, which is an asset to our community and Ventura County’s economy, fishing, recreation, and tourism industries,” said VCSDA Board President Bruce E. Dandy in a Feb. 8 press release. “We all join in congratulating Brian for his accomplishments.”

Throughout 2021, Pendleton was instrumental in spearheading four key initiatives that led him to receive this achievement.

First, he developed and led the implementation of a forward-thinking COVID-19 Rental Abatement and Deferment Program that went into effect at the beginning of the pandemic. The program helped avoid business closures at Ventura Harbor due to the pandemic.

In 2021, Pendleton and his team developed a Public and Civic Engagement Plan to ensure an adequate public input process and increased transparency of relations with stakeholders.

He worked with the California Special Districts Association to ensure ports and harbors were included in Governor Gavin Newsom’s $250 million American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for Ports and secured a $1 million grant from the State Lands Commission to address COVID-19 impacts to the District.

The Ventura Port District has also recently received the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence from the Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF) to recognize its outstanding efforts to promote transparency and good governance.

“I’m honored to receive this award from the Ventura County Special District’s Association,” said Pendleton.

“It is truly a reflection of the leadership of our Port Commissioners and the hard work and dedication of our Port District staff and tenant business partners who continually strive in making Ventura Harbor a first-class working waterfront and seaside destination.”

Emergency Request to Stop Bycatch Has Been Denied ALASKA— On Feb.2, National Oceanic Atmospheric Association fisheries announced the denial of a request from six Alaska entities to eliminate Chinook salmon bycatch in the Bering Sea Pollock fishery.

They also requested the implementation of a hard cap on chum salmon bycatch because it doesn’t meet the necessary criteria for implementing an emergency rule.

Petitioners asked commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to close the Bering Sea Pollock fishery this year. In addition, they requested tribal consultations with western and interior Alaska tribes to develop long-term measures to reduce chum salmon bycatch, an effort that NOAA Fisheries said is underway.

The agency said the petition did not contain information indicating it meets all Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requirements.

In addition, the petition did not include information indicating the petitioned action is “practicable,” a statutory requirement, nor was the requested action likely to address the emergency from salmon run failures in western Alaska.

NOAA officials said that the best available scientific information indicates Please see NEWS BRIEFS, PAGE 7

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

2C

By David Weil

California’s Boating and Fishing News

I won a judgment in court, can I use the vessel to receive the money I am owed?

2C DARK BKGND

BW

QUESTION:

I won a $25,000 judgment against a boat owner in state court. The boat is registered with the Coast Guard, and since the judgment is related to a business dispute I’m not sure if I can use the boat to satisfy the judgment. I considered recording a maritime lien against the boat and pursuing the matter in Federal Court but I understand that a federal vessel arrest is very expensive. The owner has no assets other than the boat and no real income, so it appears that I am out of luck if I can’t go after the boat.

David Weil is the managing attorney at Weil & Associates (www. weilmaritime.com) in Seal Beach. He is certified as a Specialist in Admiralty and Maritime Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization and a “Proctor in Admiralty” Member of the Maritime Law Association of the United States, an adjunct professor of Admiralty Law, and former legal counsel to the California Yacht Brokers Association. If you have a maritime law question for Weil, he can be contacted at 562-799-5508, through his website at www.weilmaritime. com, or via email at dweil@weilmaritime.com.

ANSWER: The short answer for our reader is that since he already has a judgment against the vessel owner, he can pursue him using the collection tools available through a state court procedure to go after any of the debtor’s assets, including the boat. The judgment could be for anything, and the fact that the underlying claim did not involve the boat is irrelevant at this point. Similarly, the fact that the boat is Coast Guard documented doesn’t make any difference.

Many of our readers are familiar with the procedure to foreclose on a maritime lien

Attorney From page 6

through the filing of a lawsuit in Federal Court and the “arrest” of the vessel by the U.S. Marshals. State law procedure available to our reader is similar to the Federal vessel arrest in some respects.

Both procedures involve taking custody of a boat to enforcement a lien. But the similarities stop there.

A lien is a financial security device that provides collateral to secure payment of an obligation. That is a universal concept, but different types of liens may arise from different types of claims.

A maritime lien will arise from services rendered to a boat. Our reader does not have a maritime lien, but he does have a “judgment lien” (also known as a “judicial lien”), which gives him the right to pursue certain property owned by the judgment debtor (the defendant in the lawsuit). He may seek a writ of execution to enforce his judgment lien from the court that issued the judgment in his favor, and a County Sheriff may then seize and sell the vessel.

The difference between the two procedures is that a Federal Court lawsuit to foreclose on a maritime lien will call for the vessel to be seized at the very beginning of the lawsuit, which could be years before a judgment is issued. Under most circumstances, the state court approach will require a judgment to be issued before the boat can be seized.

Our reader has also considered recording a lien against the boat’s Coast Guard title. But enforcing a judgment against a boat - whether in state court or federal court - does not require the recording of a lien with the Coast Guard.

This gets a little confusing because the Coast Guard will essentially accept anything for recording, whether or not it amounts to a valid maritime lien, and recording the claim has no legal effect at all. The sole purpose for recording a “Notice of Claim of Lien” is to give notice to the world that somebody has a maritime

News Briefs From page 5

claim against the vessel.

So our reader does have a state-court option that may allow him to satisfy the judgment through the sale of the boat.

But there are still a few problems that he may face. The biggest problem may involve a fight with competing creditors and legitimate maritime lienholders. A County Sheriff may sell a boat on behalf of a judgment creditor such as our reader, but neither the Sheriff nor a state court judge have the power to sell a vessel free of all liens or claims. That power rests solely with a federal judge in a vessel arrest case. And, the claim of a judgment creditor is junior to all valid maritime liens or mortgages. This won’t help the boat owner very much, but lien priority is critical in a case where multiple creditors are seeking custody of the same asset.

As always, each specific case will bring different facts and legal issues that should be discussed with an experienced attorney. A case like this may in fact require the expertise of attorneys from several different practice areas since it involves both collection law and maritime law questions, and any case involving the enforcement of a judgment may lead to a bankruptcy, which may require the creditor to seek advice from a bankruptcy attorney.

that those river failures resulted from broad changes to the marine and freshwater environment.

NOAA Fisheries did acknowledge residents of western Alaska have endured significant cultural and economic losses due to low Chinook salmon runs since 2008.

More recently, the 2021 Chinook and chum salmon failures in the Yukon River. As a result, no commercial or subsistence harvests were allowed on the Yukon River in 2021. However, they said they would continue to consult with tribes in western and interior Alaska to develop long-term solutions to minimizing salmon bycatch and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and other stakeholders on bycatch issues.

miles of the area of the Gulf of Maine is now off-limits to lobster fishing from October to January of 2022. Federal authorities implemented the rules to help save North Atlantic right whales, which are vulnerable to entanglement in fishing gear and whose species are less than 340. Maine’s state government is considering setting up a $30 million annual fund to help lobster harvesters and other commercial fishers who have been economically hurt by new rules.

Maine is by far the most significant lobster fishing state in the U.S., and members of the state’s fishing industry have cautioned that they will suffer because of the new rules. A proposal from Democratic Rep. Holly Stover of Boothbay would create the fund, providing grants for lobster fishers and some fishermen who harvest other species with gillnets who are prevented from fishing during those times.

MEXICO REPORT: MEXICO UPDATES PORTCLEARANCE RULES UNDER COVID-19 ENSENADA —As the COVID-19 landscape changes, so too do Mexico’s port-clearance rules for boaters arriving from the United States.

As the world enters 2022 still in pandemic mode, Mexico’s rules and procedures have been updated and streamlined.

“New Covid inspection protocols called Sanidad Internacional will be in effect throughout Mexico for the foreseeable future,” said Fito Espinosa, dockmaster of Marina Coral in the port of Ensenada, where boaters must officially clear into Mexico.

Unlike pre-Covid days, boaters arriving from the U.S. should fly the yellow Q-flag (Quarantine) on their port side, opposite the Mexican courtesy flag.

Also, everyone must stay aboard their vessels in the marinas until each person has passed a brief physical inspection that is administered by a team of Health Department medical doctors. These special doctors are presently stationed at Marina Coral, but they inspect private boaters and commercial ships arriving in all marinas.

The order of the mandatory COVID19 inspection is first come, first served, so Espinosa strongly recommends boaters arrive in their reserved slips by 8 a.m. when the marina offices open and they call for the inspectors to come to your boat.

Morning arrival often means U.S. boaters will be underway throughout the night before reaching Ensenada. However, the inspection and port clearance must both be completed before the port offices close at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

Covid Inspection Unlike 2021, health officials now ask if you’ve been vaccinated, and they’ll need to see your vaccination card to prove which vaccines and boosters you’ve received and when.

Besides taking your temperature and evaluating you for symptoms, the doctors will inspect passports to see what other countries you may have visited, and they’ll ask a dozen or more health-related questions.

Fortunately, boaters entering Mexico don’t have to arrange their own PCR Covid COVID-19 test or receive a negative result 24 hours prior to arriving in Ensenada, which is often required when flying into and out of many foreign countries.

Instead, Mexico quickly administers the test, if anyone has symptoms. Because the inspecting doctors bring a mobile laboratory with them to your boat slip, these doctors can get your test results in 45 minutes. If you test positive, you can either return to the U.S. aboard the boat or quarantine aboard for 14 days. Hospitalization is available nearby if it were needed.

CALIFORNIA — On Feb. 1, U.S. District Judge Troy Nunley moved to advance a lawsuit against the state of California over the ban on gillnets.

In 2020, two California fishermen, Joseph Abad, and Austen Brown, filed a lawsuit against the state of California over the drift gillnet ban signed into law in 2018.

Gillnets are long walls of mesh that hang underwater and are meant to catch swordfish by the gills.

Weights and buoys are used to stretch the mile-long nets beneath the ocean’s surface and have openings large enough for swordfish to stick their heads through, allowing them to be caught by the “gills.”

Abad and Brown both hold federal permits allowing the use of gillnets for swordfish on the west coast but cannot use them in California due to the ban.

The lawsuit claims that because the permits were obtained on a federal level, the state cannot override the permit and encroach on their federal rights. “ The federal government under t he M a g nu s on - S t e ven s F i sher ie s Conservation and Management Act has authorized this exact type of gear [for] this exact type of fishing,” said Brown’s attorney Glenn Roper of the Pacific Legal Foundation. “Our clients have the federal permits, and now the state is coming in and saying we are going to forbid you from using the federal permits and argue that it is preempted by federal law.”

In 2016, the Obama administration proposed a rule that would shut down the California Drift Gillnet Fishery for

two years if marine mammals or turtles were harmed by the nets. The Trump administration withdrew the proposal in 2017 and created a permit program that would allow for gillnets.

The nets have been linked to the entanglement of marine mammals and sea turtles who get caught in the nets, which can cause them to drown. In addition, if a drift net is not anchored to the bottom, whales can often drag the nets, causing fatigue and an inability to feed properly, according to NOAA fisheries.

West Coast Drift Gillnet permits are commercial permits within the Exclusive Economic Zones in California and Oregon. Boats with the federal permit must also carry a Pacific Highly Migratory Species permit and a Marine Mammal Authorization Program certificate.

Roper said the federal permits have seasonal restrictions to increase the avoidance of migratory species and require acoustic ‘pingers’ to ward off cetaceans, like dolphins, who use echolocation, which has significantly reduced marine mammal bycatch.

Nunley denied the state’s motion to dismiss the case and moved it forward into the discovery phase, allowing both sides to begin putting together their case and conducting depositions.

The judge has ordered the state to file an answer to the complaint within 30 days of the order.

“So that is going to be the next thing that happens, and that’s where the state has to respond to every allegation that was made and either admit it or deny it and assert any defenses that they have,” said Roper.

Roper said this would clear up the areas of disagreement, and they can then enter the discovery phase.

Roper said he is hopeful for settlement discussions with the state to try to resolve the issue.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife could not be reached for comment at this time.

For Shore Buddies, Plastic Waste is the Last Straw!

Shore Buddies are made from 100 percent recycled bottles using six bottles per stuffed animal and feature authentic sounds matching the animal.

Shore Buddies helps fund programs such as beach cleanups and educational outreach with local schools. The Shore Buddies team is spread out all over the globe and is constantly working on new ideas. Not only are they looking to add new characters to their group of stuffed animals, but Niebelschuetz wants to continue to add new educational and updated content for the outreach programs.

According to Shore Buddies, one million sea birds and 100,000 marina mammals are killed annually from plastic in the oceans. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch contains over 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic and spans the entire width of the area between Japan and the United States. This is one tragedy that Niebelschuetz addresses personally through

You can also calculate your plastic footprint on the Shore Buddies website. By inputting how many plastic bags, bottles, straws, cups, or utensils you use per day, the website features a calculator that will tell you the total amount of ounces of plastic you use per day.

Other products offered are reusable, clickable open straws, a book about Shore Buddies, and keychain versions of the Shore Buddies characters.

Shore Buddies image

Niebelschuetz left his corporate job in Duesseldorf, Germany, and moved to San Diego, where he accidentally founded his company, Shore Buddies.

Shore Buddies are stuffed animals made from recycled plastic bottles. It takes six bottles to make one shore buddy, and by 2021, Shore Buddies have saved over one million plastic bottles from entering the oceans.

Niebelschuetz came across an article from Patagonia featuring one of their outdoor jackets made entirely from recycled soda bottles. After finishing the article and closing his laptop, Niebelschuetz caught sight of a stuffed animal. That’s when the idea came to him to make a stuffed animal out of recycled materials.

“He [Malte] looked locally in San Diego, and eventually stateside for a factory that could make recycled plastic materials,” said Operations Manager Raylee Crawford in an email from Feb. 8. “He was met with many “Nos’” due to it not being done before…until China came along! ‘China has historically had a long history in fabrics. China and India used to be the ones developing new styles of fabric. They were ahead of the curve when reutilizing plastics.’”

The bottles are collected and sorted by recyclable collectors, then cleaned and shredded into plastic flakes. Some of these flakes are used for the plush toys’ stuffing; others are melted and turned into polyester yarn for the soft outside.

Shore Buddies hopes to get to the point of having people send them plastic bottles that they collect to use as well.

Shore Buddies puts a lot of effort into educating people of all ages about the dangers of plastic pollution.

Each Shore Buddy comes with a name and a background story that addresses a specific topic. For example, the dolphin Shore Buddy, Finn educates about the danger of plastic straws and the significant problems they can cause for marine life. Other characters include Shelly the Sea Turtle, Stephen Seagull, Sammy the Seal, and Emma, the Whale.

In 2014, when Shore Buddies hit the market, Niebelschuetz went from school to school, pitching his Shore Buddies as an educational opportunity for students.

By the end of 2015, Shore Buddies were in over 100 schools.

“From the very beginning, I wanted Shore Buddies to be more than a typical stuffed animal,” said Niebelschuetz.

It’s Getting Hot in Here: Ocean temperatures are on the rise A watched pot doesn’t boil? We’ve been watching our oceans heat up for years, and we hit the point of no return in 2014.

Research shows that more than half of the ocean has experienced extreme heat over the last seven years. An increase in the fraction of global and regional ocean surfaces exceeding the 1870–1919 extreme event threshold from less than 20 percent in the early 1900s to more than 50 percent in the 2010s.

By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

Plos Climate published on Feb. 1 written by Kisei R. Tanaka, and Kyle S.Van Houtan found more than half of the planet’s ocean surface has regularly surpassed historical extreme heat thresholds starting in 2014.

The study concluded such excessive ocean temperatures, fueled by climate change, have become the “new normal.”

These heat extremes threaten crucial marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, seagrass meadows, and kelp forests, altering their structure and function while jeopardizing their ability to provide sustenance to human communities.

Although 2014 was the first year where more than half of the ocean surpassed the threshold, this upward trend continued in the following years reaching

GLOBAL— A new study conducted under

57 percent of the ocean by 2019, according to the study.

Scientists have analyzed sea surface temperatures over the last 150 years, from 1870-to 2019, which have risen because of global heating. They found that extreme temperatures occurring just two percent of the time a century ago have occurred at least 50 percent of the time across the global ocean since 2014.

“This is a superb paper,” said President and CEO of the Aquarium of the Pacific Peter Kareiva. “They [the authors] used ocean sea surface temperature data from 1870 to 2019. The data were broken up into temperatures for each month and every 1 degree by 1-degree grid cell of the ocean. This massive publicly available data set is reconstructed from instrument records and historical in situ measurements of surface water temperatures.

From this long data series, the first isolated the global data just for the fifty years from 1870 to 1919. Think of that as baseline pre-high emissions and pre-global warming.”

Kareiva applauded the study and explained that from those fifty years, the study identified extreme heat events as temperatures for a particular grid cell and month as temperatures in the highest two percent of all temperatures ever recorded (essentially the hottest record for those fifty years).

“What they discovered is startling,” said Kareiva. “Extreme events which once only covered two percent of the ocean surface, as of 2019 now cover 57 percent of the global ocean surface. In other words, the new normal, where normal is defined as what occurs more frequently than 50 percent, in what was only one hundred years ago an extreme heatwave.

So, you might say the new normal is that

the ocean now has a fever. We tend to talk about average temperatures. A change of one degree in average temperature might not seem like much but associated with that increase in average temperature are also more frequent extreme events or heatwaves.”

Some hotspots have extreme temperatures that severely affect wildlife 90 percent of the time. More than 90 percent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases is absorbed by the ocean, which plays a critical role in maintaining a stable climate.

Due to these ever-increasing heatwaves in the last few years, researchers have seen massive fish kills in Western Australia, plunging salmon populations in the Gulf of Alaska that led to as many as one million seabird deaths, altered ocean currents, shifts in species ranges in the ocean, and just last summer a massive die-off of clams, roughly 50 percent of the population and 40 percent of the oyster population in the Pacific Northwest, according to Kareiva.

In addition, oyster farms lost production and money because of this. Heatwaves also bleach coral, and sometimes the damage is so severe the reefs do not recover. Locally, researchers have seen the decline of bull kelp off the coast of Northern California, which is driven by heatwaves.

According to the study, the shift in temperatures identified by the researchers grew out of their initial exploration of the history of kelp forest changes throughout California. As part of that study, Van Houtan and his colleagues began quantifying and mapping out sea surface heat extremes, key stressors for kelp along California’s coast over the past century.

The authors said they later decided to expand their efforts beyond California to

understand the frequency and location of extreme marine heat worldwide.

In doing so, Tanaka and Van Houtan used historical records to determine average temperatures for the ocean’s surface from 1870 to 1919, identifying the top 2 percent of temperature increases during that period as “extreme heat,” according to the study. Then they mapped extremes for the next century that followed to determine whether such events were becoming more frequent.

“Today, the majority of the ocean’s surface has warmed to temperatures that only a century ago occurred as rare, oncein-50-year extreme warming events,” Van Houtan said in a statement.

As confirmed by the increasing evidence that extreme heat has become the new normal throughout most of the ocean’s surfaces, Tanaka and Van Houtan stress the need to control emissions generated from fossil fuels which they constitute as “the driver of climate change.”

“These dramatic changes we’ve recorded in the ocean are yet another piece of evidence that should be a wake-up call to act on climate change,” said Van Houtan. “We are experiencing it now, and it is speeding up.”

Oceans are a critical element in understanding climate change. The oceans cover roughly 70 percent of the planet’s surface and absorb more than 90 percent of heat produced from global warming. This new study has been helpful for researchers to look at the surface temperatures and evaluate the increase in extreme heat at the ocean’s surface and the extreme heat that is increasing over time.

Kyle Van Houtan and the Monterey Bay Aquarium were unavailable for comment.

Oceanside Harbor Announces Plans for Love Lock Sculpture The tradition of “love lock” was made famous on the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris, France, and has been copied worldwide.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING

Oceanside Harbor photo

The sculpture will be placed between the harbor and Oceanside Harbor Beach off of N. Pacific St.

The design for the sculpture will feature an open heart between a gridlock of metal bars allowing the sunset to be visible through the sculpture terprise business; however, it acts more like a regional park,” said Schiafone. “Our goal is to create more “free” experiences for our community and visitors. This is just one example.”

The project will cost $55,000, which will need to come entirely from donations. So far, the project has reached 20 percent of its goal, and Schiafone is hopeful of completing the project by summer.

Visit Oceanside is handling the collection of all donations; parties interested in donating can visit https://california-welcome-center-oceanside.myshopify.com/collections/all. Donations of any amount are welcome, and donations of $1000 or more will receive a special custom lock that will never be produced again.

Those donors will be invited to the grand opening and be the first to attach their lock with their message.

Schiafone hopes this will be the first project of many to fill Oceanside Harbor.

“My vision would be to create a nautical Art Walk with various artist contributions,” said Schiafone. “The Sea Center, one of our Commercial Sport Fishing Charter companies, just added a beautiful art sculpture at their dock landing. We would encourage other lessees to do the same.”

The tradition of “love locks” was made popular in Paris but originally came from a bridge in Rome, Ponte Milvio.

Oceanside Harbor photo

the Oceanside City Council approved Love the O, an interactive sculpture proposal set to be placed between Oceanside Harbor and Harbor Beach.

The interactive sculpture will be 10 feet by 10 feet, fabricated from Corten steel and created by Randall Art Ranch.

The idea for the sculpture was sparked

by Ted Schiafone, harbor division manager for Oceanside Harbor.

Schiafone was inspired to add an art installation after a parcel of land was landscaped to remove vegetation that could not withstand the salt environment.

After clearing the space and replacing the vegetation with a compacted decomposed granite walkway, it opened up a new space that Schiafone felt could use an art sculpture to fit Oceanside’s designation as a cultural district.

“We removed all the vegetation and placed compacted decomposed granite so that it allowed for an easier pedestrian pathway,” said Schiafone in a Feb. 7 email to the Log. “After a couple of months, I envisioned a large art sculpture as the City of Oceanside is one of California’s first designated cultural districts.”

However, the decision to create a love lock sculpture came from several places.

The first is a popular tradition in Paris, France, on the Pont des Arts bridge where lovers add their names on a lock and then toss the key into the river (which is now illegal). The second, a copycat of that tradition, a creation by Randall Art Ranch in Vista, a large heart-shaped sculpture covered in locks that had become a popular destination for picture takers and lovers alike.

Schiafone reached out to his team and began the process of getting approved.

“I contacted Rick and Jaydon and began discussions regarding a large sculpture for Oceanside Harbor,” said Schiafone. “After a couple of design ideas, I began the process of getting City approval. Approval was granted January 26.”

Schiafone’s goal is that the sculpture will create a personal connection for visitors and residents.

“When they place their own lock on the sculpture with their personal message, they will come back again to visit and reconnect with the Harbor to see their lasting message,” said Schiafone.

The sculpture has a unique concept with an open “heart” center that will allow photographers to capture the sunset during most seasons.

Six Easy Hacks for Tidier Projects

By BOATU.S. EDITORS

Some of the best ideas are cheap but will save you loads in the long run. Here’s some that you can bank on

It’s in the bag

Keep it solvent

Glove trick

Boat owners use lots of expensive caulks and compounds in cartridges. Half-used tubes that sit for more than a day or two often dry up, then get thrown in the trash. To avoid wastage, cover the end of the cut nozzle with a good dollop of petroleum jelly. It will keep the air out and prevent the contents of the tube from hardening. Next time you need the caulk, thoroughly wipe off the jelly and squeeze out a little bit of caulk to be sure the inside of the nozzle is clear of jelly.

Disposable gloves are great at keeping hands clean, but getting them on can be a pain if your mitts are sweaty. Lightly dusting your hands with talc will make latex and nitrile gloves slip on easily. To keep your hands clean when removing dirty gloves, gently grasp the cuff of one glove, pull it off until it’s inside out, then use the clean inside part to grasp the other cuff, pull it off, and then toss them both in the trash. Voilà, clean hands!

A crisp, neat, straight paint line is a delight to the eye and is easy to achieve with the careful application of masking tape. Your efforts unfortunately can be marred by paint creeping under the edge of the tape ruining the effect. This is often caused by minute pieces of dirt sticking to the edge of the tape as it is laid down. Avoid this by storing tape in a resealable zipper storage bag when not in use. The bag will keep dirt off the tape and prevent half-used rolls from drying out between uses.

Easy-off Unwanted paint splashes on fiberglass or metal surfaces and adhesive residue can be easily removed with Easy-Off oven cleaner. (Avoid using on unpainted surfaces.) For best results spray it on, allow it to sit for a few minutes then wipe off with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It removes the wax from the boat, too, so be sure to reapply or you’ll be left with a dull spot. Test with a small amount in an inconspicuous spot to be sure it won’t damage the surface.

Zap the tape Nothing is more maddening than a roll of masking tape that won’t unroll, but only comes off in little bits. Before tossing it in the trash, an ornery roll of tape can often be brought back to life with a quick blitz in the microwave. Don’t overcook it: 5 to 10 seconds is often more than enough to revitalize the adhesive and return the roll to taping nirvana.

Cheap hand cleaner Many jobs on the boat can leave your hands filthy. For a fast-and-effective hand cleaner that’s good at removing grease and grime, pour a little olive oil on your hands along with a sprinkling of sugar.

Wipe with a paper towel, then wash your hands with soap and water.

Welcome to the Festival of Whales By: KATHERINE CLEMENTS

DANA POINT— Dana Point Harbor will

host the 51st annual Festival of Whales on March 5-6 and a Welcoming of the Whales Ceremony on March 4. This year’s festival is in memory of the festival’s founder and owner of Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching, Don Hansen.

The event is a free with two days of in-person events with a few virtual events added in for the benefit of those who cannot attend in person.

The Welcome of the Whales ceremony will be held at dusk on the beach behind the Ocean Institute. It will be

open to the public and will be followed by a kickoff party at the Ocean Institute. The kickoff event will include speakers, food trucks, refreshments, and hands-on educational activities.

The festival is put on in honor of the migration of the grey whales. Whale watching excursions operating out of Dana Point will be offered on a special Festival schedule. For more information, please visit the Dana Point Harbor website or call (949)388-363.

Dana Point Harbor Partners commissioned artists Joel Dean Stockdill and Yustina Salnikova to construct Fluke: A Tale of Plastic, a life-sized depiction of an adult gray whale tail, in the act of ‘fluking,’ or raising its fluke vertically

Historical

above the surface to propel itself to the depths that is new to the festival this year and will be assembled and displayed at the festival. Using reclaimed steel, damaged curbside trash bins and single use water bottles, Stockdill and Salnikova aim to connect all scales of the waste and its impact on the ocean. The sculpture will be constructed starting March 5 and will remain on display throughout the festival.

In 2019, Dana Point was named the dolphin and whale watching capital of the world and is the first Whale

North Beach Bath House and Bowling Pavilion in Santa Monica Circa 1905 SANTA MONICA— The North

Beach Bath House and Bowling Pavilion opened on June 09, 1894, and was in service until 1910. Senator John P. Jones financed the bathhouse for $50,000. The Los Angeles Times described the structure as the “largest and finest of its kind on this Coast.” The building was 440 feet long had two stories tall with several components, including two large saltwater plunges, an ornate parlor, 300 dressing rooms,

a roof-top garden/observation deck, a bowling alley, a ballroom, and the Pavilion Restaurant featuring three dining spaces. The project was created by architect Sumner P. Hunt who also designed the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles General Hospital. The building was torn down in 1910 to make room for “structures of a modern type,” according to a Jan. 1, 1912 article from the Los Angeles Times.

Sailing The 11th Hour Racing Team Shares Plans for The Ocean Race 2022-23

FRANCE— The United States-based offshore sailing team, 11th Hour Racing Team, unveiled its 2022 plans as it builds up to the pinnacle of crewed offshore ocean racing - The Ocean Race 2022-23.

After a 14-month delay, The Ocean Race’s start date is now confirmed as of Jan. 15, 2023, from Alicante, Spain. The Ocean Race is often described as the longest and toughest professional sporting event in the world, sailing’s toughest team challenge, and one of the sport’s big three events, alongside the Olympic Games and the America’s Cup. The sailing team will spend a large part of 2022 training from its French base in Port la Forêt, Brittany, France on their recently launched IMOCA offshore sailing yacht Mālama.

“2022 is our year for testing reliability and pushing performance,” said Mark Towill, 11th Hour Racing Team CEO, in the press release from Feb. 3. “We have the newest boat in the IMOCA fleet and the first that is specifically designed for crewed racing. The Ocean Race will be an unforgiving 31,700 nautical mile [36,500 miles or 58,700 kilometers] marathon around the planet. We need to ensure that no stone is unturned in our quest for success.”

After a year of short-handed sailing with only two crew members onboard, the team will convert to a fully crewed configuration with five sailors on board.

A rotating squad of international talent will support a core crew of sailors to make up the composition of five onboard.

“The length and intensity of The Ocean Race - from a 12,000 nautical mile Southern Ocean leg to the shorter twoweek sprints across the Atlantic, will require this set up: attrition will be a reality,” said Towill.

The team’s 2021 racing schedule culminated in a two-boat IMOCA entry in the biennial Transat Jacques Vabre, a first for the double-handed race across the Atlantic from Le Havre, France, to the Caribbean Island, Martinique. With three weeks of on-water training before the start, finishing became the focus for Charlie Enright and Pascal Bidégorry onboard Mālama, as the boat suffered keel fin damage on day eight of the 21-day race while racing in fifth place. This race took place in November of 2021 and was the most recent race for the 11th Hour Sailing Team.

shape and the aerodynamics were beyond our expectations. So, our focus for 2022 is going to be on improving the strong building blocks that we have in place. Mālama is currently in the refit shed in France, and we’ll have our first training session in April - four weeks of daily training, with a number of overnight sessions to put the team, and the boat, through its paces,” said skipper Charlie Enright in the press release.

Fol lo w i ng t he France-based session, the team will then cross the Atlantic for two months of training in its hometown of New port, Rhode Island.

Operating a Sailboat Ahoy sailors, you now know the anatomy of a sailboat and all safety precautions to take before hitting the open ocean. This issue will now teach you how to operate and drive your sailboat. Stay tuned for the next lesson which will explain how to dock your sailboat.

By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

SOUTHERN CALIF.— Sailing is a skill; therefore, it requires practice. I want to clarify that you can’t learn to sail by reading about it, but you can prepare yourself.

After this read, you must go out on a sailboat and do it!

Pre-sailing: The first step in sailing is to prepare yourself for the sometimes demanding and harsh elements you will encounter on the water. Take a wide-brim hat, a waterproof jacket, nonskid sneakers, and, of course, a life jacket that fits you securely. Wipe on a gob or two of high-SPF sun lotion and take the tube with you so you can continue to apply; those who suffer from motion sickness should consider taking medication, preferably one that you’ve tested for side effects. Before heading out, write up a float plan including your itinerary and important contacts and share it with your friends, family or your sailing club.

Learning to sail is easiest on a boat less than 25 feet long. It takes longer to feel the effects of adjustments made to your course or sails on larger boats. Everything you learn will translate to sailing a larger vessel, but when you pull in a line or move the helm on a small boat,

you will immediately see and feel what happens as a result. That makes it easier to understand what’s happening and why.

The most unsettling moment of a new sailor’s first day on the water often comes when you climb on board and feel the boat move under you. There’s plenty of reserve buoyancy, but if the boat’s small and skittish, you should step into the center of the cockpit. A bigger boat can be boarded via the side deck, but even it may sway and settle a little. Take advantage of any handhold you can grab.

Once everyone is on board, the skipper must assert command. Assignments are made, gear is stowed, the bilge is pumped, an inspection is conducted to see that all is in order, sails are prepped to hoist, and plans are made to get underway. If the boat has a motor, it can get you away from the mooring or dock into open water before setting sail.

For now, let’s concentrate on getting underway on an engineless boat. Start by setting the mainsail, the big sail. The line to the boom (called the mainsheet) must be well eased so the sail, once prepped, spills wind (luffs) and doesn’t fill prematurely. The boom will flop around, so keep your head low and consider controlling it with a line called a preventer.

When the skipper says to cast off, up goes the jib, the smaller sail on the bow, also with a loose sheet. Casting off under sail can be complicated because the boat isn’t moving, so the rudder has little effect. That’s why the boat must be steered with the sails until there’s enough speed (or “steerageway”) for rudder steering.

When learning to sail, start with the boat hanging off the mooring or pier; the sails will luff because the wind is blowing.

If you’re looking at the bow, you’ll feel the wind on both ears. That angle is sometimes called the “wind’s eye.”

Next, trim the jib by using the winch to bring the sail in, not let it out, to the side opposite the one where you want to sail. If you’re going to head off to the port side, you “back the jib” or trim it to the

“wrong” side. Next, cast off the mooring as the backed jib pulls the bow off. Once the wind is on that side, trim the jib to the proper side while trimming the mainsail as the boat accelerates. In this way, the sails help steer the boat.

An entertaining and educational exercise is to sail the boat toward a buoy or other target on a reach, with the wind coming from the boat’s side (or beam) and do a series of slow weaves as the sheets are eased and trimmed. Everything goes well when the skipper at the helm and the sail trimmers are in sync. If you get nervous, slow down by reducing the sails until they are half-filled with the wind.

It is helpful to practice changing tacks (a nautical term both for the lower, windward corner of the sail and, separately, for the side of a sailing craft from which the wind is coming while underway- the starboard or port tack). You’re on the starboard tack if you start with the wind coming over the starboard side.

If the wind is on the port side, you’re on the port tack. One of two ways to change tacks is called “coming about” or “tacking.” The helmsman starts the process by saying, “Ready about,” and after the crew answers that they’re ready, “Hard alee.”

Then, with a powerful and fluid shove of the tiller or turn of the steering wheel, the bow passes through the eye of the wind and comes off onto the new tack.

The second way to change tacks is to jibe, pulling the tiller or wheel in the other direction, easing the sheets out, and swinging the stern through the wind’s eye until the boom swings across. The steerer’s commands are “stand by to jibe” and, after the crew acknowledges, “jibeho.” The boom will come across abruptly and rapidly, so all crewmembers must be careful to tuck their heads as they trim the mainsail and jib to the new sides.

Since steering is the topic of discussion currently, this is the appropriate time to encourage you to steer from the windward side of the tiller or wheel. The windward side (closer to the wind direction) is higher than the leeward side (farther from the wind) when the boat is heeling, so you will have greater visibility to see “puffs” of wind (the dark shadows moving across the water from the ripples caused by the wind) as they approach. Don’t assume that darker water has more wind.

An area may be darker due to clouds or the angle to the sun, but not contain any texture. Sparkles on the water can be useful if they show a pattern that differentiates between coarse and smooth water.

One sailing phenomenon is as the boat speeds up or slows down, the wind seems to change direction and force. That’s because there are two types of wind. One “true wind” is the breeze you feel when standing still. The actual wind’s velocity and direction are the same for all nearly stationary objects. But if one of those objects moves (like a boat does), its motion

affects the true wind to create “apparent wind,” which people feel on the moving object.

Sails are trimmed to the apparent wind. Trimmed sails is a metaphor that alludes to adjusting a ship’s sails to take full advantage of prevailing winds. You can gauge the apparent-wind direction and force by feeling it on your skin, reading it on an electronic instrument, or seeing it on a tell-tale, which is a short length of yarn tied to one of the boat’s side stays (shrouds) that support the mast. However, while those devices hint at the wind direction, none of them tell you if your sails are trimmed correctly for that direction.

Sails are airfoils with a deep curve that redirects the apparent wind to produce a force that pulls the boat forward (similar to a wing lifting an airplane off the runway). Side force is absorbed and redirected to forward force by the airfoil-shaped fins under the boat, the centerboard, and the keel. As airfoils, sails should be trimmed to correspond with the wind, and the boat should sail at the most effective angle to that wind’s direction.

Some tell-tales are placed on the jib, near its leading edge (the luff), on both sides of the sail. For optimal sailing, three pairs of jib tell-tales should be at equal intervals up, and down the sail’s luff; however, having one pair about halfway up the sail should suffice. Other tell-tales are secured, one at a time, on the trailing edge of the mainsail (the leech), or at least at or near the second batten from the top.

The jib tell-tales on both sides of the sail should stream aft most of the time, with the windward ones lifting slightly from time to time. The mainsail leech tell-tale should stream aft about half the time.

If your tell-tales behave differently, try steering closer to or farther off the wind, and experiment with sail trim. An inch or two of sail trim or ease can get them flowing again and make the boat sail faster.

While you’re still learning, going slow can seem less scary. However, keep in mind that a boat only gains steerageway—the ability to adjust its course— when it has some speed through the water. Slowing down too much can be problematic. Once a boat is completely stopped, it will drift downwind as uncontrollably and unpredictably as a balloon deflating. You will only regain control of your course by trimming in the sails and gaining forward speed.

Now that you have the basics down, it’s essential to try out your new skills in a controlled environment. Pick a day with minimal wind and stay in a protected bay or harbor for your first outing. It is also recommended to take sailing lessons with an expert because hands-on learning is a great way to understand how all the moving parts fit together.

Newport Landing Sportfishing and Whale Watching Facebook Photo

FishRap TOP CORNER The Bass of Us NEWPORT — Winter fishing in Newport Beach is still going strong! “Amazing weather out today, with pretty decent fishing for just 9 anglers onboard the @ patriotsportfishing ,” said Newport Landing Sportfishing and Whale Watching in a Feb. 1 Facebook post. “We caught 23 sculpin, 5 Sandbass, 2 Calico, and 1 Half Moon for the afternoon.”

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

S A N D I E G O — On Feb. 8, the Leon Raymond Hubbard Jr. Marine Fish Hatchery in Carlsbad transported over 6,000 juvenile white sea bass to a growout facility in Catalina Harbor, as part of the Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program (OREHP).

The OREHP is an experimental hatchery program created in 1982 after California Assemblyman Larry Stirling introduced Assembly Bill 1414. Initially, the program focused on enhancing white sea bass and California halibut population but now concentrates solely on the white sea bass population.

The fish are spawned and reared at Carlsbad’s Leon Raymond Hubbard Jr. Marine Fish Hatchery. They are tagged with a coded wire tag implanted in their cheek, no larger than a grain of rice, and then sent to grow-out facilities along the coast of Southern California, where they will reach between eight to ten inches before being released into the wild.

OREHP is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Hubbard SeaWorld Research Institute acts as a contractor through their hatchery in Carlsbad.

Transporting the fish from the hatchery to a grow-out facility, a cordoned-off area of the harbor surrounded by a net, allows the fish to acclimate to their environment and provides a cost-efficient way to raise the fish to a larger size before releasing them into the population.

“What we’ve seen is that fish we released from our grow-out pen tend to survive a little bit better than what we call, a naïve fish, directly from the hatchery,” said Michael Shane, Director of Fisheries Enhancement at Leon Raymond Hubbard Jr. Marine Fish Hatchery.

“So, the few months these fish are spending in these pens, they are getting undomesticated. They are learning the smells of the environment and potential predators that may swim around there.”

The bass are expected to stay in the pens until November of this year, when they will be released into the wild to join the population; the program releases roughly 100,000 white sea bass a year from San Diego up to the Channel Islands.

During this trip, 26 adult white sea bass from the wild population were caught to add to the genetic diversity in the breeding stock.

Once transported to the hatchery in Carlsbad, the fish will undergo a 45-day quarantine in special tanks before being released into the breeding tanks.

This program is a collaborative effort between the CDFW, OREHP, HSWRI, and volunteers from the Coastal Conservation Association of California who supports the grow-out facilities.

“I think it is important to note the support for this program comes from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. We are contractors to the department,” said Shane. “The Coastal Conservation Association, they are the ones that are coor-

The white sea bass will spend a few months in the pens in Catalina Harbor where they will grow larger and acclimate to their environment. dinating all these volunteer growout sites and helping us w ith the funding and the program, and they are big supporters of the program.”

T he OR E H P has seen the release of over three million juvenile seabass throughout the past 30 years.

CALIFORNIA — On Feb. 2 the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) announced they are seeking grant applications to help fund projects that will enhance or restore habitat for wildlife.

The grants come from the multi-agency Environmental Enhancement Fund (EEF), whose selection committee includes representatives from the California Coastal Conservancy, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and OSPR. The panel may select multiple projects.

Previous EEF awards have typically ranged from $100,000 to $300,000.

“Since 2011 we’ve awarded over $3 million to 22 projects and eight are currently in progress,” said OSPR Environmental Scientist Daniel Orr in the news release. “EEF projects include enhancement of bird nesting habitat on nearshore islands, protection and restoration of springs in the Mojave Desert, increasing summer flows in mountain streams in Inyo County and reintroduction of tidal

flow to wetlands.”

Qualification for the grants means an environmental enhancement project must acquire habitat for preservation or improve habitat quality and ecosystem function, the project can be multi-year. In addition, it must meet all the following requirements: • Be located within or immediately adjacent to waters of the state.

• Have measurable outcomes within a pre-determined timeframe.

• Be designed to acquire, restore, or improve habitat, ecosystem function, or benefit fish and wildlife.

Funding will come from OSPR’s EEF, funded by oil spill violations, per California’s Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act (PDF) (opens in new tab). Disbursement of the grants is contingent on the availability of funds in the EEF. All eligible agencies

SAN DIEGO—Southern California anglers continue to enjoy a mild winter with the first part of February providing numerous warm, sunny days with pleasant sea conditions. Fishing continues to provide various fun options for anglers to choose what kind of fish to target during a day out on the water.



Along the San Diego County coast, there has been a chance at catching prize yellowtail, white seabass, or halibut along with good mixed bag fishing for calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin.

Mexican waters also offer rockfish, reds, and lingcod during the two-month rockfish/groundfish closure in the U.S. Good news, is that the rockfish/groundfish closure in U.S. waters will soon be coming to an end on March 1.



Weekends have seen sport boats on 1.5-day and 2.5-day trips running down to the Mexican coast to fish the Punta Colnett area. They have found very good mixed bag fishing for reds, rockfish, lingcod, and occasional yellowtail or bonito. Fish counts from the most recent trips start with Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing with 31 anglers on a 1.5-day trip who caught 133 reds, 71 rockfish, 86 whitefish, and 20 lingcod. Fisherman’s Landing had Liberty out on a 1.5 day trip with 35 anglers who caught 100 rockfish, 160 reds, 3 lingcod, 2 sheephead, and 2 yellowtail.

Relentless out of H&M Landing was out on a 2.5-day trip and they had 19 anglers who caught 340 rockfish, 32 lingcod, and 3 bonito



Punta Colnett area yellowtail have been running 10 to 20 pounds and the yellowtail bites tend to come from locating meter marks or sonar marks and then fishing with yo-yo iron or with live baits that are dropped down to the meter marks using a dropper loop rig.

Salas 6X Jr. and Salas 6X jigs in the blue and white color combination have been good choices for yo-yo iron. An additional report said yo-yo jigs in a “reddish-brown” color were working well for lingcod.



I do not know of bluefin tuna being caught offshore from Punta Colnett lately but there have been some second-hand reports about there being bluefin found outside of the 500-fathom curve out westerly from Punta Colnett.

The last confirmed bluefin catches came from this zone a few weeks ago when a few bluefin in the 30 to 40-pound range were caught.



Boats fishing in Mexican waters around Los Coronado Islands are still finding good fishing for rockfish, reds, salmon grouper, whitefish, and an occasional lingcod. There have been a few private boaters out looking for yellow-

tail around Los Coronado Islands but the yellowtail fishing has been slow.



The New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing and the Malihini out of H&M Landing have regularly been running trips into Mexican waters to fish for rockfish species around Los Coronado Islands during the rockfish closure.

The most recent trip on New Seaforth posted a fish count of 32 anglers on an extended half-day trip who caught 265 assorted rockfish. The most recent trip on Malihini out of H&M Landing was a three-quarter day trip where 29 anglers caught 27 reds, 26 whitefish, and 120 rockfish.



A productive zone for the rockfish fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been the hard bottom to the north and northwest of North Island. I also got a recent report from a private boater that went exploring to try the fishing at some hard bottom areas out to the southwest of South Island and the fishing in that sector was reported to be just fair.



A good depth range for the rockfish fishing has been in 30 to 50 fathoms but there has also been good bottom fishing to be found in deeper water. Seaforth Sportfishing has been suggesting that anglers be prepared to fish deep water by bringing tackle that includes some 16 to 20-ounce sinkers and an outfit capable of fishing those 16 to 20-ounce sinkers at depths down to 800 feet (133 fathoms).



There are occasional showings of yellowtail reported outside of Pacific Beach, the upper end of La Jolla and Torrey Pines. The showings of yellowtail have been erratic and unpredictable from day to day but if you are there when some yellows decide to show you have a chance at hooking quality-sized yellowtail.



Yellowtail has been located by finding spots of breaking fish or meter marks. The best chance at locating yellowtail has been to find schools of bait or spots of working birds. A good depth to be looking in has been in 18 to 32 fathoms. If an area is looking fishy with birds and bait Skippers tend to stay with that life in the hope that some yellowtail will eventually show up chasing the bait. The mid-morning hours between 8:30-10:30 a.m. tend to be the best for finding yellowtail activity. The best yellowtail catch reported in recent days was from a private boater who caught three yellowtail.



When yellows are located they have been biting best on iron with surface iron and yo-yo iron both being productive. Good choices for yo-yo iron have Please see FISH REPORT, PAGE 27

been Salas 6X Jr. and Salas 6X jigs in the blue and white color combination. Good choices for surface iron have been Tady 45’s and Salas 7X lights in the blue and white color combination and in sardine colors.

Most of the fishing along the San Diego County coast during the cold water months of the annual two-month rockfish/groundfish closure is focused on calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin by fishing hard bottom and structure spots. The Imperial Beach Pipeline and the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 off Point Loma continue to be a couple of the best areas in the San Diego region for mixed bag fishing. Other productive hard bottom and structure spots that have been producing a mixed bag of fish are the Lighthouse Ridge off the Point Loma Lighthouse, the Jetty Kelp hard bottom outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp hard bottom off Pacific Beach, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside Harbor and Box Canyon.

The halibut fishing has been scratchy overall but there was a recent catch of 3 halibut made off Imperial Beach aboard Dolphin out of Fisherman’s Landing.

They had 27 anglers on an extended half-day trip who caught 3 halibut, 10 sand bass, 14 sculpin, 8 halibut, and

6 sand bass that were released. On another trip the week before Dolphin also posted a fish count that included 3 halibut.

Areas you might want to try to catch a halibut, are the sandy bottom around the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the area outside of the Imperial Beach Pier, the sandy bottom next to the structure of the Yukon Shipwreck, the sandy bottom next to the sunken NEL Tower off Mission Beach, South Ponto Beach, the sandy bottom next to the Buccaneer Pipeline and the sandy bottom next to the artificial reefs off Oceanside.

hope to see you out on the water sometime soon!

An ongoing reminder is that anglers need to keep in mind that the annual two-month rockfish/groundfish closure went into effect in U.S. waters on Jan. 1. The closure will run through Feb. 28 and during the two-month closure period, anglers need to travel into Mexican waters if they want to fish for the various rockfish/groundfish species that are covered by the closure. During the closure period anglers fishing in U.S. waters target species that are not covered by the closure such as calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, halibut, yellowtail, and white seabass.
