BIZARRE

By: JORDAN B. DARLING

WORLDWIDE— Zooplankton harvesting

is becoming a popular industry as businesses collect the small crustaceans to turn them into fish oil to fill a demand for omega-3 health supplements.

Harvesting of the species began in the Faroe Islands in 2020. The fisheries ministries cleared five businesses to take in 25,000 tons of the plankton each.

There is a concern in the fishing industry that harvesting zooplankton will have negative effects on fish stocks around the world.

Zooplankton is the main food source for different fish stocks, including mackerel and herring.

However, The Guardian reported that Eilif Gaard, head of the Faroese Marine Institute, has an idea that would allow for the harvesting of the plankton without a significant impact on the oceanic food chain.

In the winter, the zooplankton goes into hibernation. They sink to the deeper layers of the ocean and then float away with the current. Around the Faroe Islands, this means they travel south-east before being pushed into the Faroe Bank Channel and into deeper and colder

oceans, where it is predicted that 90 percent of them die.

Gaard proposes using the channel to catch the plankton, which would otherwise die, and only fishing in the winter to mitigate potential damage. He recommends keeping the quota at 125,000 tons, 1.2 percent of the total mass of Calanus that flows through the area.

However, it is a different story in Norway. Many in Norway’s fishing industry are opposed to zooplankton trawling. In Norway, the quota is 254,000 tons a year and is permitted all year, which can be a problem for species of juvenile cod and other creatures who rely on the plankton for food.

Many are concerned that Zooca, a Norwegian company currently the only one to catch zooplankton in the area, is catching larvae and juvenile fish along with the plankton in the summer months.

There is also a concern for cod, one of Norway’s main species. Juvenile cod eat the plankton, and without them, the company is taking the fish’s main food supply.

The use of zooplankton is still undergoing research.

February 14, Say Hello to the Stars and Stripes By: KATHERINE

CLEMENTS

UNITED STATES — On Feb. 14, 1778, the continental ship, The Ranger, commanded by John Pa u l Jone s , a n A me r ic a n naval hero in the American Revolution, was the first ship to officially receive a salute to a U.S. Stars and Stripes flag by a foreign government (the French)

FAST FACTS

Captain Joh Paul Jones aboard the USS Ranger representing the role of the first Captain in the U.S. Navy. in Quiberon, France.

Although many historians believe Betsy Ross, a seamstress from Philadelphia, was the first to create the American flag, it is unknown who originally designed the first Stars and Stripes flag. The flag is decorated with thir teen stars and thir teen stripes and was adopted by the new United States government in 1777. Congressman Francis Hopkins also claimed to have

On Board With Johnson

by J.R. Johnson

been the designer of the flag.

John Paul Jones was born Jul. 6, 1747, in Kirkcudbright, Scotland, and came to America as a merchant sailor when the revolution broke out. Jones chose to side with the colonists and joined the Continental Navy. Jones’ most remarkable victory was his against-all-odds defeat over the British warship, Serapis, on Sept. 23, 1779.

Earlier that month, after receiving news of the victory at Saratoga, New York, France recognized the independence of the American colonies and signed a treaty of alliance with the United States. In 1898, American artist Edward Moran painted a depiction of the Continental Navy Ship, The Ranger, with Captain John Paul Jones in command while receiving his salute from the French fleet. The original painting by Moran is in the U.S. Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis, Maryland. For reasons unknown, in this lithograph, the other ships of the French fleet

have been removed, leaving only a ghost of their image. Ranger is flying an American flag with eleven stripes and a circle of stars.

The USS Ranger was an 18gun Continental Navy ship sloop, originally to be called Hampshire, and was launched on May 10, 1777, by James K. Hackett, the master shipbuilder.

After fitting out, the USS Ranger sailed towards France on Nov. 1777 ,1, carrying dispatches recounting General Burgoyne›s surrender to the Commissioners in Paris. On the voyage over, t wo Br it i sh pr i z e s of w a r were captured. Finally, Ranger arrived at Nantes, France, on Dec. 1777 ,2, where Jones sold the prizes and delivered the news of the victory at Saratoga to Dr. Franklin. These events led to the first official salute to the new American flag, the "Stars and Stripes," given by the French fleet at Quiberon Bay, while Jones sailed upon the USS Ranger.

“These CARB regulations affect 300 or so vessels in CA like that is going to make a difference in air quality in a state with 40 million vehicles! Also, all the container ships sitting off the coast right now are a bigger problem than the fishing vessels. This proposal would kill the recreational fishing fleet, not that CARB gives a hoot.

This is an all-out assault on recreational fishing! However, this is all probably just window dressing, as we found out with the MPLA process. The sanctimonious government officials just did what they wanted to anyway.”

STATE/NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL Cruise Ship Rerouted to Avoid Arrest Warrant MIAMI, FL.—On Jan. 24, a luxury cruise

ship scheduled to dock in Miami rerouted its course to the Bahamas after a U.S. judge ordered the ship to be seized as part of a lawsuit over unpaid fuel.

The Crystal Symphony was supposed to conclude its Caribbean voyage in Miami on Jan. 22; the online tracking application Cruise Mapper found the vessel Monday afternoon local time at a port in Bimini, the section of the Bahamas closest to the U.S. mainland.

The diversion seemed to follow a lawsuit filed on Jan. 19.

Peninsula Petroleum Far East sued Crystal Cruises and Star Cruises, both owned by Genting Hong Kong, and the Crystal Symphony after accusing the vessel and its managers of breach of a maritime contract. Peninsula Petroleum Far East had asked the court to take it into account custody. The six-page filing says the entities owe a combined $4.6 million in fuel.

On the same day, Crystal Cruises announced it would be suspending its operations for ocean and expedition ships through the end of April and for its river cruise through the end of May. They claimed the decision would give the company’s management team some time to evaluate the state of business and potential future options.

District Judge Darrin Gayles issued a warrant for the ship›s arrest on Thursday.

It is unknown how many passengers were on the vessel at the time of the reroute, but the vessel does carry 848 guests. According to NPR.org, “A spokesperson for the company told NPR in an emailed statement that passengers were given accommodations on the ship for Saturday night, and about 300 guests were later transferred via ferry to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. The cruise line arranged ground transportation to local airports as well as Port Miami.”

Palm Beach Revamps Marina With $40 Million in Renovations PALM BEACH, FL.—After $40 million in renovations, the city of Palm Beach has officially reopened Marina and Lake Park Drive. The renovations can now accommodate vessels from 60 to 294 feet or superyacht size. The Town Marina is currently taking seasonal, annual, and transient slip reservations. The Marina now includes 84 slips, located along the classic Australian, Brazilian, and Peruvian docks in addition to the new 250-foot Royal Palm Docks.

The enhanced marina now includes a floating dock system, high-speed WiFi, enhanced shore power, and the most advanced level of security systems.

These security systems include cameras that have been added to the docks, entryways, and parking lots. Access into the parking lot is now granted via a password-protected smartphone app.

In addition, boaters can now reverse dockage more easily by using the online service Dockwa via the Town Marina website. Other additions to the marina include new golf carts dedicated to moving luggage and other belongings across the docks, trash pickup has been made more convenient with boat side service several times a day, and staffing has been increased with dock attendants and other team members on hand for gust assistance and services. For more information on the project or for slip lease information, contact Marina Dockmaster Mike Horn at dockmaster@ townofpalmbeach.com or by calling 561-838-5463.

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

By David Weil

California’s Boating and Fishing News

Can I fight my insurance company about a denied claim?

2C DARK BKGND

QUESTION:

We own a large motor yacht, and we almost lost her last year when the propeller shaft broke in half during a voyage to Mexico. The boat would have sunk like a rock if the rudder had not stopped the broken end of the shaft from falling out of the back of the boat. We were over 150 miles offshore at the time and we feel very lucky to be here today. Unfortunately, our luck ran out when we returned to port and started dealing with our insurance company.

The cost for the repair, including the invoice from the tugboat company for the tow into San Diego, will exceed $100,000. My insurance company has taken the position that the shaft failed due to “wear and tear,” and that the claim is therefore not covered by my policy. What can we do to fight their decision?

ANSWER: When a marine insurance company is presented with a claim, they have a right to investigate the claim and to hire experts to determine the cause of a loss.

Marine insurance claims often involve a very technical and complicated forensic investigation into the cause of the loss, and these investigations are conducted by experts from a wide range of technical fields. These experts often provide the basis for a claim denial.

In the case described by our reader, the insurance adjuster probably retained a metallurgist or mechanical engineer to inspect the broken shaft, and then relied upon the expert’s opinion to determine that the shaft had failed due to “wear and tear.” Nothing lasts forever, and even a stainless steel propeller shaft can wear out over Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

time, particularly if there is rust or corrosion on the shaft.

Nonetheless, there are steps that a boat owner can take to be sure that he or she is treated fairly. When an expert is hired by an insurance company to investigate a large claim, it is usually advisable for the insured party to retain their own expert to participate in the investigation.

For a marine insurance claim, this usually means hiring a marine surveyor who is experienced in litigation and insurance investigation. An attorney may not be necessary during the early stages of an investigation, but an experienced maritime attorney will be a good resource for a referral to a qualified surveyor.

Your surveyor will participate actively in the insurance investigation, and in some circumstances, he may recommend that the owner retain a second expert if the scientific investigation is required.

For the claim described above by the reader, the surveyor would probably refer the boat owner to a metallurgist or engineer who is qualified to review and comment on the findings of the insurance company’s expert.

The insurance company’s expert will render an opinion as to the cause of the loss, and the insurance adjusters will determine whether those findings fall within the coverage of the insurance policy.

In the end, the opinions of the boat owner’s experts may confirm the findings of the insurance company, or they may provide support for possible litigation against the insurance company for wrongful denial of coverage.

In either case, this is money well spent. It may be possible to recover part of the loss even if the boat owner’s experts agree with the findings of the insurance

Autonomous Boats Are on The Rise SEOUL, KOREA — Hyundai Heavy

Industries Group announced on Jan. 6, in conjunction with KT Corporation, they have created its first fully autonomous navigation system for sailing a pleasure craft. The technology was tested through a narrow and winding canal in South Korea. The test trial demonstrated by a 12-seat pleasure craft showed the combined technologies that are under development for shipbuilders. It is

company’s experts.

For example, the expenses associated with returning to port after a casualty may be recoverable under a principle known as the “sue and labor clause,” even if the claim for the loss itself is ultimately denied.

This “clause” is not actually spelled out in most insurance policies, but it is nonetheless imposed as a mutual duty upon both the boat owner and the insurance company.

In short, it requires the boat owner to take all reasonable steps to protect the boat from further damage after a casualty, and it requires the insurance company to reimburse the boat owner for those actions.

In the case described above by the reader, the tugboat fees for towing the boat to San Diego will probably be covered under this provision since the boat had to return to port to prevent further damage.

Marine insurance is a complicated subject that involves technical questions of both fact and law. Boat owners are well-advised to hire their own maritime and legal professionals to deal with their insurance company.

expected to be commercialized some time in 2022, first for pleasure crafts until the technology can be expanded to cargo ships and other large vessels.

Hyundai is planning for the world’s first transoceanic voyage of a large merchant ship that will rely solely on autonomous navigation technology. They also plan to show the first demonstration of the technology on a commercial vessel as early as 2022.

One software used in the technologies is the Hyundai Intelligent Navigation Assistant System (HiNAS) which automatically recognizes objects surrounding the vessel and route to alert the risk of collision based on augmented reality (AR). The vessel was outfitted with a range of systems being developed by Avikus, a sub-business unit of Hyundai’s launched in 2020 to focus on autonomous navigation systems.

By using special cameras and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), a remote sensing technology that uses the pulse from a laser to collect measurements manages the autonomous operations of the vessel. The group said it also plans to commercialize smart construction robots and related platform services by 2025 with the goal of realizing unmanned construction sites.

CONSERVATION EFFORTS FOR TROPICAL TUNA FISHING WHAT HAPPENED : On Dec. 6, the National

Oceanic Atmospheric Administration announced that the United States won new conservation measures for Pacific tuna and will support inspections to interrupt illegal fishing. In addition, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) controls on floating devices that attract tuna.

While prior solutions to manage tropical tuna were approaching their expiration date, the IATTC spent two meetings in 2021 negotiating new measures. As a result, the Commission adopted new three-year management measures for yellowfin, bigeye, and skipjack tunas caught by purse seine (a giant wall of netting deployed around an entire fish area) and longline vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean at the October meeting. In addition, they imposed a 72-day closure for purse seine vessels each year and applied additional closure days to vessels that exceed a 1,200 metric ton annual limit of bigeye tuna. The controls aim to ensure that tuna fishing in the eastern Pacific Ocean is sustainable.

Tropical tuna in the eastern Pacific Ocean gained refreshed protections and science-based catch levels under resolutions endorsed by the U.S. The IATTC adopted the tuna at its virtual meeting in October and established a framework for foreign fishing vessels to face spot inspections when they enter the port of another member nation.

The efforts made by IATTC were set in place to help conserve and continually manage tuna and other highly migratory species that cross international borders.

The measures also improve a U.S. priority; the neglect of global fisheries to reduce illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing). In addition, the maneuver promotes the effort to close the world’s ports to illegal fishing and give consumers confidence that their seafood is safe and sustainable.

Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA), announced that the, the newly published 2022 allocated catch limits designed to protect the long-term health of the stock, are now in effect for 24 member nations. However, six remaining nations rejected the plan, and the stricter catch limits do not apply to these countries, hindering the progress made by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) and is also putting the entire stock at risk.

The Global Tuna Alliance (GTA) is an independent group of highly influential retailers and supply chain companies pushing for environmentally sustainable and socially responsible tuna fishing. GTA partners have announced their commitment to addressing overfishing in their seafood supply chains as a collective of businesses with significant purchasing power. Following a succession of objec-

tions to the IOTC interim rebuilding plan for yellowfin tuna, the GTA is deeply concerned that the goal is already set up for failure despite only coming into force.

The 25th Session of the IOTC took place from June 8-12 2021. Delegates agreed on an interim rebuilding plan for overfished yellowfin tuna at this meeting.

The agreed measure set a total catch limit of 401,011 metric tons– just below the maximum level advised by the IOTC’s scientific committee.

Reaching this agreement was difficult, and the final measure was a combination of concessions negotiated over many hours of virtual meetings. Despite this effort, the action was intended to be applied in 2022 only; a new yellowfin stock assessment was scheduled and published in October to inform a further discussion in 2022 to apply for 2023.

Despite the negotiated concessions and the interim nature of the measure, six countries formally objected, creating further uncertainty around the future of the Indian Ocean yellowfin beyond the next 12 months.

The first notable event is the unfortunate option that allows countries to ‘opt out’ of management measures. This undermines the ability of the RFMO to deliver on its mandate and penalizes the ‘good actors.’ Even though most 24 IOTC member nations are committed to protecting yellowfin tuna stock, their efforts are undermined by the remaining six nations’ refusal to make any concessions.

More specifically, these objections put the newly agreed interim rebuilding plan for yellowfin at serious risk of failure. The scientific advice decided on a total catch of less than 403,000 metric tons (cMSY; a statistical model for estimating the maximum sustainable yield for a marine species in a designated area). The total catch allowed of the countries bound by the new rebuilding plan is 300,829 tons – which is lower than the cMSY. However, the objecting countries are not included in this data.

The old yellowfin measure, Resolution 19/01, remains conclusive for the objecting countries: Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Madagascar, Oman, and Somalia. India also objected to that resolution, and accordingly, Resolution 18/01 remains conclusive for them.

This unforeseen obstacle will create an impact on catch limits. To give an idea of the implications of these objections, GTA has determined the most recent catch data (as of 2020) for these objecting countries and assumed that they would catch the same amount in 2022. Based on this assumption, these countries would yield 144,784 tons of yellowfin in 2022, and the potential total catch would be 445,613 tons– much higher than cMSY and the second-highest yellowfin caught in the Indian Ocean ever.

Stearns Wharf is considered the oldest working wood wharf in California; currently it has 16 businesses and is one of the biggest tourist draws in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara Begins Plans for 150 Anniversary of Stearns Wharf Stearns Wharf celebrates 150 years in 2022 with plans for weekly deals on the wharf and a larger celebration set for fall.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING SANTA BARBARA —The Santa Barbara

Harbor Commission heard a report from Waterfront Director Mike Wiltshire at their Jan. 20 meeting introducing the 150th anniversary of the construction of Stearns Wharf and plans for upcoming celebrations.

The wharf is considered the oldest working wood wharf in California.

Originally built by John Peck Stearns, the wharf finished construction in 1872 for the purpose of transferring cargo and people from ship to shore.

“Stearns Whar f is an amazingly unique and important piece of infrastructure here in Santa Barbara, and it has just really played such a pivotal and huge role in Santa Barbara’s history,” said Wiltshire. “... The wharf really played just a giant role in shaping Santa Barbara and putting Santa Barbara on the map.”

Stearns built the 2,300-foot wharf with the financial backing of Colonel William Welles Hollister to provide a connection for Santa Barbara to the outside world.

The wharf has spent the majority of its lifespan in the hands of private businesses serving the lumber, oil, and fishing industry.

The wharf has undergone an intense history of fires and storms that have battered and destroyed parts of the wharf over the past 150 years.

Notably, the first tornado ever recorded in Santa Barbara hit the wharf in 1878; 1983 “100-year storm,” and several fires, most recently in 1998, which destroyed 420 feet of an outer segment, completely destroying three businesses.

The wharf was condemned and closed in 1973 and remained closed until 1981.

The city took over the wharf in the 1980s and developed the wharf to serve as a tourist attraction and recreational center.

“Stearns Wharfs sees up to a million

visitors a year. This makes it one of Santa Barbara’s really kind of most iconic and most visited destinations,” said Wiltshire.

There are 16 commercial tenants on the wharf, which, paired with tourism, create around $20 million in revenue for the city.

Tenants included restaurants, a shellfish market, a bait and tackle shop, tourist-oriented shops, a Channel Islands exhibit hall, and a marine museum.

The wharf is owned and maintained by the city and costs roughly $2 million a year to continue the upkeep.

The water front depar tment and wharf merchants have been meeting regularly to plan and promote events for the anniversary.

So far, events for the anniversary are in the early stages, but one idea was Wharf Wednesdays. On the first Wednesday of every month, there will be special deals and specials throughout wharf businesses for guests.

Deals include: • Char West Buy an entrée, and get any small fountain drink for $1.50

CAAP Progress, Achievements, and Future Goals for San Pedro Bay Ports

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS SAN PEDRO — On Feb. 1, Long Beach and

Los Angeles ports held a public meeting via a webinar to revisit the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP).

There were four different presentations with a question-and-answer segment.

PRESENTATION NO. 1: Christine Batikian from the Port of Los Angeles presented “Clean Air Action Plan- 2020 San Pedro Bay Combined Ports Air Emissions Inventory Results.”

“The inventories are based on actual activity and equipment that was used during the calendar year,” said Batikian. “So, to calculate emissions, we gather detailed operational activity information for our five main source categories.”

These categories include ships, harbor crafts, cargo handling equipment, trucks, and locomotives.

Since 2005, Diesel Particulate Matter, a port-related air pollution emission in San Pedro Bay, has dropped 90 percent for diesel particulate matter, 63 percent for nitrogen oxides, 97 percent for sulfur oxides, and greenhouse gases are down 11 percent.

“State and federal regulations will continue to play an important role in the achievement of emission reductions at the San Pedro Bay Ports,” said Batikian.

“These include but are not limited to the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) advance clean fleets regulation, the at berth regulation, the clean harbor craft rule, as well as the zero-emission cargo handling equipment regulation.”

The ports also plan to implement a Clean Truck Fund Rate early in the Spring of 2022. Heavy-duty trucks will move unloaded containers with varying exemptions for zero-emission trucks. The funds collected will be used to incentivize truck fleet turnover.

Each Port publishes a separate emissions inventory; to see the 2020 Air

PRESENTATION NO. 2: "Joint Port›s 2021 Accomplishments and 2022 Priorities" presented by Morgan Caswell, the Manager of Air Quality Practices for the Port of Long Beach, and Teresa Pisano, the Marine Environmental Supervisor for the Port of Los Angeles, looked at port accomplishments for 2021 and goals for the new year.

Combined Port Accomplishments for 2021; the full report of accomplishments can be found on the Port’s website.

• The Ports prepared and released the 2020 Technology Advancement Program (TAP) annual report, which describes progress and challenges based on all the Port’s demonstration projects for the calendar year and includes those funded by grants.

Individually, the Port of Long Beach has accomplished: (the full report of accomplishments can be found on the Port’s website. ): • The Port was awarded $2.5 million in California Energy Commission (CEC) funding to support master planning for zero-emission terminal infrastructure workforce development. Finally, this project will deploy infrastructure to help light and medium-duty vehicles at the Port’s maintenance yard and zero-emission infrastructure master planning to expedite the transition of Portowned vehicles to zero-emissions.

Individually, the Port of Los Angeles has accomplished (the full report of accomplishments can be found on the Port›s website. ): • PoLA continued to implement significant grant-funded projects throughout 2021, including the Pasha Green Omni-Terminal Project with various zero-emission equipment and at berth capture and control system (anticipated to be completed in 2023.)

Priorities 2022; A full list of priorities can be found on the CAAP website.

“Both ports will begin the collection of the Clean Truck Fund Rate Implementation and will develop incentive programs and spending plans for the Clean Truck Fund,” said Pisano. “We have partnered with the South Coast Air Quality Management District in a grant project with the CARB and the CEC to demonstrate 100 battery-electric trucks in a project called JETSI.”

Emission inventories for each Port separately, you can visit the Port’s respective websites for Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach.

The CAAP 2017 Update is an all-encompassing strategy for accelerating progress toward a zero-emission future while protecting and strengthening the ports’ competitive position in the global economy.

According to Pisano, both ports plan to go to their boards to request $1.5 million each to support the JETSI project.

“In the next year, both ports will continue to implement our existing vessel incentive programs such as environmental ship index, green ship incentive, and vessel speed reduction programs,” said Pisano.

Eleven years ago, Kevin Brannon began an educational program to get kids more involved in fishing and wildlife conservation.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

PORT OF HUENEME—On Jan. 5, Reel

Guppy Dock side L ea r ning C enter announced its ribbon-cutting ceremony and the official launch of the center on Feb. 22.

The Reel Guppy Dockside Learning Center will serve its community by providing multi-media classroom learning spaces, family-centered fishing, conservation workshops, clinics, youth leadership, business programs, aquatic life, maritime history information, and expanding collaboration opportunities with other local organizations.

Reel Guppy Founder Kevin Brannon said his company has been angling for adventure, opportunity, and community education since 2011; Reel Guppy Outdoors Inc. provides local youth and their families with education and fishing outings for free. Their Mission is to provide a positive environment for youth, using outdoor adventures emphasizing education, life-building lessons, leadership, stewardship, and team building. In addition, Reel Guppy aims to empower its participants with the education and skills it takes to enjoy the world’s waters and beaches while promoting good stewardship of natural resources.

“I am a documentary filmmaker,» said Brannon.” I host and produce the TV show called Real Anglers Fishing Show, and about ten years ago, I wanted to do something in my little neighborhood, so I started the Real Anglers K ids Fishing Days. We would do the kind of sporadically; then we decided to go nonprofit, and five years ago we started The Reel Guppies Outdoors.»

Brannon started working on fishing boats at -11years-old, and when Brannon

started filmmaking, he wanted to do a fishing show about California that wasn›t based on catching whoppers or exotic locations, a ll t h i ng s t hat requ i re expensive gear to do; that›s why he calls his company Reel Anglers.

“The reason I say that is because the whole base of our brand, Reel Angler Network, is an educational program,” said Brannon. “Our TV show is about education and how to find the right resources.”

The TV show’s educational aspect is much different from what the Reel Guppy Dockside Learning center will offer.

“It’s [the center] all educationally based; it’s about ecosystems,” said Brannon. “We teach about stewardship, responsible angling, and then we also use that as Construction at the venue has concluded and the celebration of the venue will be Feb. 22. teaching tools for the program.

Plastic Fisherman Uses Social Media for Global Ocean Clean Up

Catch the Plastic Fisherman in the Log Newcast publishing on Feb. 7; check us out on the Log website and on Spotify

Rodrigo Butori started a global movement on social media to clean up plastic in the world’s waterways.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING

Plastic Fisherman was able to present a three-day Zoom session in Brazil to educate students on plastic pollution. a bigger step to clean up plastic waste in the ocean after reading an article in early 2020 which gave a jarring view of plastic waste in the world’s oceans.

Current statistics show that an average of ten million tons of plastic are dumped into the world’s oceans each year, roughly one garbage truckload every minute, and the plastic pollution is killing an average of one million marine animals a year.

Current trends suggest there will be more plastic in the ocean by 2050 than fish. Bolstered by the frightening statistics, Butori took his creative advertising skills and began Plastic Fisherman.

By taking advantage of the visual nature of Instagram, he created a movement utilizing discarded plastic to create sea creatures.

“I started calling it plastic fishing,” said Butori. “...I started this account on Instagram for that, and in the beginning, it wasn’t. I don’t even think there was a name for it…I started calling it plastic fishing, and I thought if this is plastic fishing, then I am the plastic fisherman.”

When Butori goes to the beach, he collects a handful of plastic waste lying around and turns the individual pieces into a sea creature before disposing of the plastic into a proper receptacle.

“I try to give myself this challenge,” said Butori. “...Today I found five things, so I need to make a fish with five pieces.

Sometimes I find fifty, or sometimes you look at a piece of plastic, and it is no longer a piece of plastic. It is a tail, or a fish, or an eye. So, you kind of train your mind

to do better can take you a long way.

A local Florida man has undertaken a global mission to remove plastic from the world’s oceans through creativity and education.

Rodrigo Butori, the founder of Plastic Fisherman, started a journey in January 2020 which would turn from a local art project to a global fascination.

Butori was born and raised in Brazil near the water and found an early love for the ocean, which would lead him to choose coastal climes as his home throughout adulthood.

“The best moments of my life happened by the ocean,” said Butori. “I had this feeling that I had to give back.”

After relocating first to Los Angeles in 2001 to pursue a career in advertising and then to Florida in 2011, Butori would spend his time giving back by picking up trash on the beach and in the water.

Two years ago, he was inspired to take

That is part of what people like about plastic fishing because it goes from being this boring and sometimes tedious thing of picking up the beach to finding pieces of a puzzle, finding pieces of something that will become something else. That is part of the fun and playful part of plastic fishing.”

The challenge has created more than 200 posts and garnered over 10,000 followers worldwide, even sparking interest in other countries.

“Today, I am proud to say we are a little bit of a global [movement],” said Butori. “We have people all over the world who have picked up on plastic fishing.”

Accounts for Plastic Fisherman have popped up in Germany, Japan, and Brazil.

Butori was able to teach a three-session Zoom class for an academy in Brazil to educate local children on the use of plastics and proper disposal. “ The educational part is a huge, huge part of what we are,” said Butori. “It is a

The message has spread as far as Germany, there are several Instagram accounts for Plastic Fishing around the world. part of Plastic Fisherman that is what it was designed to be. If you think about that plastic fishing is just a vessel to get information across. I like to say we entertain to educate.”

Butori asked the students to collect the plastic they used throughout the week and bring it to class. He was able to talk to them about how much plastic they use at home while keeping them engaged with a creative outlet.

Butori also works with local groups like Girl Scouts to host cleanups on the beach, engaging the younger generation in understanding the effect of plastic waste on their life and the environment.

Plastic Fisherman has found a way to inspire all Instagram users. People have been building their own fish and tagging their «catches» with «plastic fishing» to inspire others and continue to spread the message.

While Butori would love to see the oceans completely cleared of plastic, his focus is on spreading the message that a little goes a long way.

“I strongly believe that little actions matter,” said Butori. “The more people that do it, the more our impact…It

is a way of fighting back through social media. The same power of social media that is wiring you with all that stuff now let’s just get together and join forces for this incredible word and do something that combines that could offset or try to bring a positive impact towards that.”

Butori’s next goal is to continue spreading the message and working with educators around the world to engage the younger generation through creative education.

Plastic Fisherman is also undergoing the process of becoming a non-profit, a step Butori began earlier this year.

“There is so much that we can talk about, but that is basically in a nutshell, who we are,” said Butori “…Our mission is to inform and turn as many people as we can into plastic fishermen and fisherwomen themselves, and we do so by putting out a simple statement that the sea is for fish, not for plastic. So, join us; let’s go plastic fishing.” Follow Plastic Fisherman on Instagram, plasticfisherman, on Facebook at Plastic Fisherman, or check out their website at http://www.plasticfisherman.com/.

Liveaboards Are on King Harbor’s Radar

REDONDO BEACH — A new policy has

been announced for liveaboard boaters in King Harbor; liveaboards are looking at an extra $125 per slip per month for pumping fees; the fee went into effect on Feb. 1.

Liveaboards in the marina have been battling possible eviction notices since Nov. 2021. Majestic KHM, the current lessee, contacted their liveaboards through a phone call, according to board member Stephen Proud in a recorded meeting from the Harbor Commissioners.

Dr. Allen Ginsburg, father of the former Redondo Beach Councilmember, Jeff Ginsburg, is the new leaseholder for the marina. He took over in 2020 for the Guthrie family, who held the lease for 51 years prior.

A letter from Dec. 21, 2021, said that Majestic KHM, owned by Ginsberg, intends to “eventually make King Harbor a non-liveaboard, recreation-only marina.”

Mike Witzansky, the City Manager for Redondo Beach, suggested the decision is part of an effort to clean-up the marina, a choice that is generally positive. The new direction is potentially brought on by the marina’s pending five-year renewal of a California Clean Marina Designation and the concern of leaking sewage from liveaboards. However, Mike Aker, the General Manager of the marina, wants to handle clean-up efforts without making any drastic changes for the current liveaboards.

“After meeting with the City of RB [Redondo Beach], the letters were put on hold, and we were asked to deal with our concerns regarding our liveaboards first and to take our time in determining the future of liveaboards in our Marina,” said Aker in an email from Jan. 27.

The Harbor Commission agreed to put the issue on their next meeting’s agenda on Feb. 14, after hearing about eviction calls to liveaboard. The Harbor Commission does hold some jurisdiction of the marina, but actual ownership of the property and lease approvals falls to the city of Redondo Beach.

“You should know that we have never used the term “evictions” during this whole process since our contracts with boaters are under Maritime law and do not create residential tenancies,” said Aker. “The new owners here would like to see their Marina used for how it was originally built, which was for recreational boating and not used as a home on the water. Until this is made possible, we have asked all of our attends to keep their boats clear of clutter, in good running condition, our dock fingers free of all items other than dock steps for safety reasons, and we have implemented a mandatory fee on liveaboards that includes a

Without holding a liveaboard status, people are allowed to stay on their boats nine nights per month.

The current K ing Harbor lease runs out in 2032, at which time Aaker suggested the (new) lessee will be expected to make $30 to $40 million payments in improvements to the marina. This would include new docks, higher pylons, raised sidewalks for an expected sea-level rise, upgraded electrical, and ADA. Aaker asserts that the city will not extend the lease to Majestic if the improvements are not completed.

The monthly rent for a liveaboard is $354 for any-size slip. Now, with the added $125 Around 1990, King harbor changed its rules allowing liveaboards to reside in the harbor. The pumping fee that was implemented on Jan. 14, rent is $479 increased slip fees for those who chose to take advantage of this new rule, helped increase per month. Some of the vessels revenue for the marina. that liveaboards reside on do not have holding tanks, meaning they are paying an extra $125 for nothing to be removed from their boats.

Amidst the marina’s 827 current slips, two of the 63 liveaboards have left since this concern began. There have been no direct reports of leaked sewage in the marina.

In early November 2021, Aaker called in liveaboards one by one to make them aware of the eviction notice that would be implemented within six months, according to the FOX 11 News report.

Majestic has jurisdiction in making certain aesthetic judgments. However, the boaters’ wharfage contract states that “the determination of the adequacy of a vessel’s appearance is within the sole discretion of the Marina.” Liveaboard rights, in general, are tied to the wharfage contracts, which Aaker noted in the Dec. 21 letter “are commercial in nature and do not establish a tenant-landlord The decision to evict liveaboards follows the marina’s statement that it is causing relationship.” more pollution in the water and clutter on the docks; both not yet been proven, only The letter followed statements by assumed.

Ventura Board of Port Commissioners Pass Emergency Resolution After Tsunami

By: JORDAN B. DARLING VENTURA — The Ventura Port District Board of Commissioners approved an emergency action plan at their Jan. 19 meeting after tsunami activity hit the coast, causing damage throughout the harbor.

The board heard a recommendation from staff and passed resolution No. 3441, which declares a state of emergency due to the Hunga Tonga Tsunami and authorizes General Manager Brian Pendleton to take emergency measures to restore district assets.

On Jan. 15, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted off the coast of Tonga in the South Pacific. This eruption triggered a tsunami that devastated several small islands in the region and set off tsunami warnings around the globe.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric society, volcano eruptions cause roughly five percent of tsunamis.

A tsunami advisory was issued by the National Tsunami Warning Center for the U.S. West Coast, and tsunami activity was expected to hit Southern California Beaches at 7:30 a.m.; the surge hit Ventura Harbor at 8 a.m. with waves between 1-2 feet and strong surges that persisted throughout the day.

Surge events in and out of the harbor caused damage to 24 docks, two patrol vessels, marinas, and both private and public structures.

In particular, the surge out of the Ventura Keys flooded the transom of the Harbor Patrol boat B-17, flooding the vessel and ripping it from its moorings, causing it to crash into patrol boat B-19 before capsizing and sinking. Both boats are currently inoperable, and the damage to the patrol dock is under evaluation, according to the staff report.

4. The General Manager shall report to the Board of Port Commissioners at its next regularly scheduled meeting of the board of the actions taken to respond to the emergency.

5. The board will review the emergency action at every regularly scheduled meeting hereafter until the emergency action is terminated to determine that there is a need to continue the action by a four-fifths vote.

“CARB is composed of fools who want to force an untried engine in a marine application.

If they thought first, they would have several prototypes built and tested on the water.

Once they have developed a safe and sane replacement for the present marine engines, then they could consider making it mandatory. Their stupid attempt to make it viable by pointing boat owners to grant programs is laughable.”

There is also a Wharf Fisherman’s market for fresh fish in the works, a potential farmer’s market, and a larger event in the fall targeted sometime in September or October with live music and fireworks to commemorate the completion of the wharf’s construction.

“We are just kind of getting going in the early stages, but we are hoping to draw a lot of attention to the wharf,” said Wiltshire.

The Safety Instruction Card You Shouldn’t Throw Away Ahoy sailors, now that you’ve mastered the anatomy of the sailboat, next up is safety. Here is an in-depth breakdown of all the safety requirements you should know before setting sail. Stay tuned for next week when we break down how to get your boat out on the water.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS SOUTHERN CALIF.— Harnessing the

power of the wind and bending it to glide your boat across the water is beautiful.

Sailing does, however, raise some safety concerns that should be entirely understood and practiced each time a sailor hits the open waters. This issue’s lesson will address all safety precautions. We did the research; you just have to read it!

Sailing Harness and Life Jackets: A hiking strap or harness can help sailors avoid falling into the water, and caution can help you avoid the boom. Every crewmember or passenger onboard a sailboat should wear a life jacket. Yes, they can save your life, but only if you’re wearing them. New life jacket models are noticeably more comfortable than those of old, and some even come with a safety harness and tether built-in, ready to clip to a jack line along the gunwales of an offshore sailboat.

Other Safety Gear: Safety goes beyond life jackets; other accessories can make sailing safer as well: • Safety glasses guard eyes against loose tackle.

• UV-blocking sunglasses protect eyes better.

• SPF-rated clothing and sunscreen block skin from the sun.

• Fingerless nylon- or leather-faced sailing gloves make handling lines and cables easier and gentler.

• An Automatic Identification System receiver can keep you posted on the paths of large ships and commercial passenger vessels so that you have extra time to avoid them.

Capsizing: How to Avoid and or Defeat: Smaller sailboats have centerboards or daggerboards that help the boat track well but don’t do much to keep it upright.

In one of them, there’s bound to be a time when your boat is “knocked down” by a sudden wind blast or a crew mistake.

When a boat tips over, it most often will capsize to leeward (the side shel-

tered or away from the wind) because the wind’s force overcomes the crew’s ability to hike or let the sails out. It is essential to practice capsize recovery drills before you need to use them independently. When the vessel is on its side and the sails are in the water, you should act promptly to right the boat (the act of reversing a capsized boat is called righting). The Scoop Method of recovery gets its name from one crew being “scooped” into the cockpit, as the other rights the capsized boat.

If you are the scoopee (the person being scooped up): 1. Tread water near the stern until the scooper has control of the centerboard.

2. Move to the centerboard trunk and free the mainsheet, jib sheets, and boom vang if possible. If necessary, throw the windward jib sheet over the high side to the scooper to assist the Scooper in getting up on the board.

3. Hold on to a cockpit structure as the boat goes upright and gets scooped in.

4. Balance the boat and steer it into a safe position.

5. Help the scooper on board over the stern.

If You Are the Scooper (the person retrieving the other out of the water): 1. Move around the boat to the centerboard.

2. Climb up onto the board, using the jib sheet if it is unavoidable. Always try to avoid putting pressure on the tip of the board; you can break it this way.

3. Once on the board, make sure the scoopee is ready for the boat to be righted. Place your feet close to the base of the board where it enters the hull and leans back, bracing yourself with the tail end of a sheet or halyard for leverage until the boat gradually comes upright.

4. Swim to stern to climb back on board.

Capsize Recovery – Single Handed Boats If the boat capsizes and the helmsman falls into the water: 1. The helmsman should unclip the mainsail and boom vang.

2. The mainsail should be lying to the leeward of the hull in the water. If the mainsail is lying to the windward of the hull, the boat can be rotated, so the sail lies leeward, or it can be brought upright, which will result in the boat quickly capsizing again but with its sail lying in the water to leeward of the hull.

3. Helmsman moves to centerboard, climbs onto it, and, holding onto the gunwale, leans back to bring the boat upright.

4. Helmsman climbs in over stem.

Grounding and Weather: Ship grounding is the impact of a ship on seabed or waterway side. The relatively deep drafts of sailboats, thanks to keel fins and center- and or daggerboards, means extra attention is needed to avoid grounding. The 2017 investigation into the grounding of a Clipper Round the World yacht in South Africa delivered some interesting lessons for all sailors.

The most important points learned were that the skipper was the only person in charge of navigation and became distracted by other tasks and lost situational awareness. The chart plotter (an electric navigation device) was below decks, and there was no route marked on it. The displays at the helm did not show depth, nor were there shallow water alarms set, and that started out clearing any dangers that became unsafe through gradual changes to the wind direction.

To learn from this event, remember to plan ahead! Good planning of your passage will not only highlight areas of concern but also enable prompt and effective corrective actions to be taken should the depth unexpectedly decrease and induce grounding.

Set an alarm! Alarms are a useful tool although, to be effective, like everything else on your boat they need to be trimmed (adjusted to your sailboat). Alarms should be adjusted to reflect conditions and set to a level that will ensure they are not constantly sounding and therefore get ignored. An audible alarm will allow less experienced crew members to comfortably stand watch and be sure of exactly when to call the skipper; they’ll also alert a skipper whose attention has been drawn elsewhere. In addition, having an XTE alarm onboard is very helpful.

Cross-track error alarms will sound once your track has strayed too far from the rhumb line. Ensure there are sufficient waypoints in your route to make these effective.

Of course, the weather is always a consideration for a responsible boater, but a weather eye is even more important to a sailor who can’t pick up and run from storms as can one in a powerboat. The U.S. Coast Guard said in its “A Boater’s Guide to the Federal Requirements for Recreational Boats,” offers these tips to identify an approaching change in weather, which usually brings the most challenging conditions.

Signs of bad weather approaching for boaters: • Flat clouds getting lower and thicker.

• Puffy, vertically rising clouds getting higher.

• Dark, threatening clouds, especially to the west/southwest.

• A sudden drop in temperature.

• A halo around the sun or moon.

• Increasing wind or a sudden change in wind direction.

• Flashes on the horizon.

• Seas becoming heavy.

• Heavy AM radio static, which can indicate nearby thunderstorm activity.

If caught in severe weather, the Coast Guard advises: • Reduce speed to the minimum that allows continued headway.

• Make sure everyone on board is wearing their life jacket.

• Turn on running lights.

• If possible, head for the nearest safeto-approach shore.

• Head boat into waves at a 45-degree angle.

• Keep bilges free of water.

• Seat passengers on the bottom of the boat, near the centerline • If the engine fails, deploy a sea anchor (or bucket if there’s no sea anchor aboard) from the bow.

• Anchor the boat if necessary.

Stay Calm and in Control: Sometimes, a sailor needs to stop everything during frantic sailing practice, pause, adjust, and adapt. That can seem impossible when the wind’s blowing. In his book, “Learn to Sail,” legendary sailor Dennis Conner highlights a “time-out position,” where the sailor needs to release the sheets of the mainsail and headsail—if so equipped—while the wind is at right angles to the boat’s centerline.

When the boat has stopped, aim the tiller at the sails to release pressure on the rudder. You’ve effectively taken your foot off the gas and the “car” out of gear. Take a cleansing breath and purge the anxiety, figure things out, then return the helm to parallel with the centerline, trim (snug up) first the headsail, then the mainsail, and you’re back in action.

When The Wind Slows Down: Sailing is powered by the momentum that it brought about by the wind. If the wind has died down, the sails will become slack, and your sailboat will just drift along. So, unless you have oars or a motor attached to a propeller, you might not go anywhere. You can rely on Hydrodynamics of the Water Flow. It’s physically impossible to have a total absence of wind while out there on the water. But if that happens, you can rely on the heat from the warm zone to the cold zone, which will create some form of hydrodynamics or flow, which would then create currents that will propel your sailboat, even if not in the same way as the winds.

Document Your Plans and Intensions Before Setting Sail Sailors should document in writing who to contact if something goes wrong as well as keep a record of: • Where you’re going.

• What your boat and tow vehicle look like.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

Dana Wharf Lady Anglers Casting Lines DA N A P O IN T — Dana Wharf ’s Lady Anglers celebrated 45 years in 2021 and will host their annual banquet commemorating the event in February of this year.

The Lady Anglers are an all-female fishing club out of Dana Point that love the sea and the sport of fishing. The group was created in 1976 as an offshoot of another club in Newport Beach.

A group of ladies in the Newport club approached Don Hansen and told him they wanted to form a women’s fishing club in Dana Point, and with the help of Hansen, created the Dana Wharf Lady Anglers.

Hansen passed away in January of this year and was considered a great influence on the fishing community in Dana Point.

“We were considered Don Hansen’s Lady Anglers,” said President Sandy Estep. “...That is 45 years of fishing as the Dana Wharf Lady Anglers.”

The club sets 12 to 13 fishing charters for women a year and hosts seminars for knot tying and casting off, which serve as a brush-up lesson for seasoned anglers and an introduction to the sport for women who are just starting the hobby.

Events can be half-day or multi-day trips. There are several themed events, including a Cinco de Mayo trip where the club serves Mexican food for the day and a champagne trip with bottles of bubbly and appetizers for participants.

In addition, there are multiple opportunities for new women to get in there and receive hands-on instructions.

Dana Wharf Lady Anglers just celebrated 45 years; founded in Dana Point in 1976 the anglers have continued to fish the seas and support women for over four decades.

The Lady Anglers have a support system for women just starting out and a consistent place to fish for those women that grew up with a rod in hand.

“We have a support system of women that mentor,” said Estep. “If somebody is going to come out for their first time, we bring several different types of rods and reels for them to try to see what they are

more comfortable with.”

Estep grew up right here in Southern California fishing with her dad. She joined the group after meeting a few members who invited her to try a multiday albacore trip out of San Diego. Estep said she fell in love with the club, and that was it; she was hooked.

For anglers interested in competing,

the club has a point system for California species where women can win prizes based on weight, species, and equipment.

Women can submit forms for fish caught anywhere between Point Conception and the Mexican border. For example, a rockfish will garner two points with Please see LADY ANGLERS, PAGE 28

Let’s Kick Some Bass!

jerking the rod slightly to imitate live bait and entice the bass. When you catch a bite, rather than yanking hard to set the hook, increase the reeling speed slowly until you feel the full weight of the fish.

This will ensure a successful catch.

TIP No.1: Dock fishing. This style of fishing provides cover for fish that hang out near pilings. Shade provides a form of cover for bass and may result in them hiding under the shade line. This means you should be aware of your tides. The last hour and first hour of a tidal switch will make for good fishing.

This bass goes by many names; commonly called bay bass, spotted bay bass, spotted bass, rock bass, red spotted rock bass, spotted, spotty, spotted cabrilla, or pinta cabrilla.

TIP No.2: Spotted sand bass are predators and will often hide and wait for crustaceans or small fish to float by. You can easily find spotted sand bass by rocks and jetties, docks, and pilings, as well as mooring lines. Davey’s Locker Sportfishing recommends that anglers allow for tidal currents to carry lure past a struc-

ture such as live prey floating by.

TIP No. 3 Spotted sand bass are ambush predators that are all about structure. They prey by lying hidden and camouflaged inside cover. To catch this fish, reel the line in slowly, making sure to keep the lure slightly off the bottom while

FEATURED CATCH Blue Shark Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo By: JORDAN B. DARLING NEWPORT BEACH— It’s not really a catch but definitely a cool aquatic sighting! “Shark sightings are few & far between off our boats,” said a Jan. 12 Facebook post from Davey’s Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching. “We think this one is a Blue shark! What do you think?” The picture shows a neat feature on the shark; a nictitating membrane

See page 6 for details.

TIP No.4: While doing jetty or rock wall fishing, cats parallel as you reel your catch in. Allow the lure to strike the rocks; this action can trigger reaction bites, which is a bite from a fish that is not looking to feed. Bass hide in the shallows, about 10-12 feet deep, amongst the rocks waiting for prey to float by. The fish will nose into the current, so be sure to pay attention to which direction the current is flowing.

TIP No.5: Mooring field fishing is another option. When the tide comes in, the fish will wait by mooring cans for food to be pushed by them in the current. Anglers should try to target mooring cans in front of the tide.

When anglers are out on the prowl, bass don’t know that they have become the prey, and the anglers can fight just as hard as them.

that protects its eyes when hunting. Blue Sharks are a highly migratory species. They hang out in the open ocean and have a range that stretches all over the world in tropics and cold water. Their name comes from the unique blue color of their skin. They can reach up to ten feet in length and prey on small pelagic fish and squid. Experts believe the shark is ‘near threatened,’ with extinction (due to its wide range).

According to Oceana, the shark’s numbers have decreased by as much as 80 percent in some areas.

fishing is in! The California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced some changes to rockfish fishing. Fishing for this species is currently closed for boatbased anglers, those who fish from boats or vessels of any size or any other floating object, including kayaks and float tubes.

Rockfish fishing is closed to boat-based anglers, kayaks, and float tubes but is open to divers and shore-based anglers year-round. Bag-based rockfishing will open on Feb. 28.

DANA POINT—Rockfishing is out, and bass

BLUEFIN TUNA AND YELLOWTAIL HIGHLIGHT FISHING HEADING INTO FEBRUARY!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com We are in the middle of a mild winter and Southern California anglers continue to be presented with the option of targeting bluefin tuna and yellowtail in addition to fishing the normal wintertime staples such as sand bass, calico bass, and sculpin.

Mexican waters also offer anglers a chance at lingcod, reds, and a variety of assorted bottom fish species during the two-month rockfish and groundfish closure in U.S. waters that are in effect during the months of January and February.

The past weekend saw three bluefin tuna caught aboard a 1.5-day trip to fish the waters down the Mexican Coast outside of Punta Colnett. The fish were caught aboard Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing that ended up with a fish count of 33 anglers catching the three bluefin tuna, two sheephead, 53 lingcod, 60 rockfish, 76 whitefish, and 130 reds.

Seaforth Sportfishing reports the bluefin tuna caught aboard the Tribute were in the 30 to 40-pound range.

The Punta Colnett area near shore fishing continues to be very good for an assortment of reds, salmon grouper, lingcod, whitefish, sheephead, rockfish, and a chance at yellowtail. Relentless out of H&M Landing also fished the Punta Colnett region this past weekend and they found biting yellowtail, bonito, lingcod, and rockfish with a fish count of 20 anglers on a 1.5-day trip catching 150 rockfish, 11 lingcod, 3 bonito, and 6 yellowtail.

The Punta Colnett area yellowtail have been running about 10 to 20 pounds and the yellowtail bites in the area 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.

Private boater Tom Parnakian of Ambush was fishing aboard Relentless out of H&M Landing on the trip mentioned above and he reported very good fishing.

Parnakian personally caught 18-pound yellowtail and his limits of rockfish including an assortment of reds, salmon grouper, and Johnny bass. Parnakian said the six yellowtail they caught on the trip ran from 18 to 20 pounds and that he caught his 18-pound yellowtail on a blue and white Salas 6X Jr. yo-yo jig. He reported most if not all of the lingcod on the trip were caught on jigs dropped all the way to the bottom in the same area where they were catching their yellowtail.

He noted that one angler caught two

nice-sized lingcod while using a “reddish-brown” color yo-yo jig.

Closer to San Diego, boats fishing in Mexican waters around Los Coronado Islands have been finding good fishing for rockfish, reds, salmon grouper, whitefish, and an occasional lingcod. The fishing for yellowtail and other surface fishing species around Los Coronado Islands has been slow with occasional yellowtail activity being found around North Island.

Kiss Your First Katch!

— “My son Ronan Grace (5yrs) caught his first fish all on his own, from cast, to kiss, to release on 1/19/22,” said Connor Grace in an email. “A very proud father snapped this great picture. I hope it makes the cut to print. We love The Log!”

New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing has been running extended half-day trips into Mexican waters to fish for rockfish species. On their most recent trip, New Seaforth found limit fishing and had 14 anglers catch 140 assorted rockfish.

Deadline: Feb 11, 2022 Prints or high-res digital photos are preferred.

Malihini out of H&M Landing has also started fishing for rockfish around Los Coronado Islands and on their most recent trip, they had 16 anglers on a three-quarter day trip catch 29 reds, 11 salmon grouper, two sculpin, 15 whitefish, and 55 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. Within this zone, Skippers have been reporting that their best fishing has been coming from the area between North Island and the lower edges of the Coronado Canyon.

A good depth range has been in 30 to 50 fathoms and there has also been good bottom fishing in deeper water. In recent weeks, Seaforth Sportfishing has been suggesting being prepared to fish depths down to 800 feet (133 fathoms) by bringing tackle that includes some 16 to 20-ounce sinkers and includes an outfit capable of fishing the 800-foot depths with the 16 to 20-ounce sinkers.

Recent weeks have seen occasional yellowtail activity found along the San Diego County coast. The showings of yellowtail have been erratic and unpredictable from day to day but the good news is that the most recent yellowtail activity off La Jolla and Pacific Beach has been on the upswing and has been increasing the past couple of days.

As I was preparing this report this morning there were reports of a good showing of yellowtail during the mid-morning hours. There were several boats that got on some spots of breaking yellowtail and several yellowtail were caught with one boat catching two. The best yellowtail showings have been off Pacific Beach in the area below the MLPA closure zone that is at the lower end of La Jolla. A good depth has been in 18 to 32 fathoms and locating spots of bait, working birds, and meter marks has been

a good way to get situated in an area where some yellowtail might show.

Yellowtail have been biting best on iron with surface iron and yo-yo iron both being productive. This morning the yellows were reported to be biting best on surface iron and yesterday, they were reported to be mostly ignoring the surface iron and biting better on yo-yo iron. Good choices for yo-yo iron have 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.

Lady Anglers From page 25

a 15 fish limit for the year, and white sea bass caught on a 12-pound test line will garner eight points.

Points are tallied, and awards are passed out at the yearly banquet. In addition, women can take home special pins for species caught, and a special trophy is awarded to those who catch all their fish out of Dana Wharf or on Dana Wharf charters.

The club follows stringent environmental rules, including size limits, practicing catch and release fishing, and ac-

Much of the fishing along the San Diego County coast during the cold water months of the annual 2-month rockfish/ groundfish closure is focused on targeting calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin by fishing hard bottom and structure spots.

The Imperial Beach Pipeline has been one of the better areas since the 2 month closure period began and it continues to produce good mixed bag fishing for sand bass, calico bass, and sculpin.

Other productive hard bottom and structure spots that have been producing a mixed bag of calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin are the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, 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,

tively fishing in different areas to not overfish specific areas.

The group also works with Scripps, visiting the institute yearly, and some of the members work with Scripps to tag and release white sea bass at the Channel Islands.

To join the Lady Anglers, there is an application and waiver. Participants must be over 18-years-old and identify as a woman; there is a $20 initiation fee and a $30 yearly membership fee.

To remain in good standing, members are asked to participate in a minimum of two fishing charters a year and at least two functions, such as seminars or the

the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside Harbor and Box Canyon.

The halibut fishing has been scratchy with just a very occasional halibut being reported. Areas, where there has been occasional halibut activity that would spot you might want to try to scratch out a halibut, are Imperial Beach, the sandy bottom next to the structure of the Yukon Shipwreck off Mission Beach, the structure of 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.

An ongoing reminder is that anglers need to keep in mind that the annual 2-month rockfish/groundfish closure went into effect in U.S. waters on January 1, 2022. The closure will run through Feb.

upcoming banquet, which is a good opportunity for anglers to get out of their fishing gear and dress to the nines to celebrate with friends.

“All we want are people that have positive attitudes, a love of the sea, and want comradery,” said Estep. “We do have a lot of fun. People who join the club make lifelong friends, and that is in a nutshell what we are all about.”

For more information, follow the club on Instagram @danawharfladyanglers, Facebook at Dana Wharf Lady Anglers, and their website, which is undergoing maintenance at https://www.danawharfladyanglers.com.

28, 2022, and during the 2 month closure period anglers will need to travel into Mexican waters to fish for the various rockfish/groundfish species that are covered by the closure. During the closure period, Skippers fishing in U.S. waters have been and will be focusing on species that are not covered by the closure such as calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, halibut, yellowtail, and white seabass.

Full story will be found online.
