Sunroad hotel development on Harbor Island appears to be progressing Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners seem pleased with current iteration of the planned redevelopment of a parcel adjacent to Sunroad Marina.

SAN DIEGO—A planned hotel development next to Sunroad Marina appears to be picking up some steam after years of planning and going back to the drawing board, as the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners expressed collective support of the project’s most recent iteration.

Port district staff and members of the development team were in front of the board on Oct. 8, updating commissioners of the hotel project’s status.

Commissioners, based upon the presentation, directed port district staff to go forward with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. The CEQA process could take up to 16 months to complete, according to port district staff.

Wendy Siao, the port district’s program manager of real estate, provided commissioners with a synopsis of what the hotel project on East Harbor Island would look like: a 450-room, dualbranded hotel to be built in one phase and inclusive of several amenities. The

Will a new hotel come to Harbor Island? The Sunroad Enterprises proposal to bring 450 hotel rooms to the waterfront just outside Downtown San Diego resonated with the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners. There are still a few hurdles, however, such as financing and California Coastal Commission approval.

amenities included: 252 select service rooms on 15 levels, 198 extended stay rooms on 12 levels; 10,000 square feet of meeting space; 1,600 square feet of meeting space; outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi; retail space; 15-foot wide public promenade; open space event lawn; and, 350 surface parking spaces.

“I think the project we have in front of us is a lot better than anything that we’ve seen and I think it really reaches to the core of what we’re trying to do as world-class projects,” Commissioner Robert “Dukie” Valderrama said. “We’re headed in the right direction.”

Representatives of Sunroad

Enterprises and Carrier Johnson were on hand to discuss the project with commissioners.

Bringing a hotel project to the “elbow site” of East Harbor Island would be “challenging,” Uri Feldman of Sunroad Enterprises said.

The port district, in February, gave Sunroad Enterprises a set of parameters for the hotel project: it had to be built in one phase with as few buildings as possible; the hotel had to have between 450 and 500 rooms; the project had to fit within the guidelines of the Port Master Plan; parking had to be integrated into the parcel’s interior; the hotel operator must be an upscale

brand; water mobility must be encouraged; a bayside public promenade must be part of the development; the buildings could not block any view corridors; and, the building(s) had to be iconic and “responsive to location on the bay.”

Commissioners also directed staff to ensure these parameters were included in Sunroad Enterprises’ plan during the CEQA process.

Feldman said the hotel project would be built as a one-tower design.

Vincent Mudd of Carrier Johnson said the design would indeed be “iconic.” He added there would be cafés, public paths and other amenities available to boaters, locals and visitors.

The project still has to go through the California Coastal Commission and secure financing.

Sunroad Enterprises has been a port district tenant since 1984. The hotel project would be built adjacent to Harbor Island’s Sunroad Marina.

Commissioners selected Sunroad Enterprises to redevelop an “elbow parcel” on the eastern side of Harbor Island in September 2016.

Hotels suggested to meet the port district’s recommendation of an upscale brand hotel operator were AC Hotels by Marriott, Aloft, Curio, Element, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, Swissotel and Tapestry Collection.

Introducing the street legal boat car

2C

By Lindsey Welling PENSACOLA, Florida—Beep beep, boat, wait no, car coming through. A Florida man, his first mate and his boat car have been turning heads in Pensacola, Florida this year.

Made from a decommissioned boat and the bottom half of a Ford Expedition SUV, Gerry Moore’s boat car is 100 percent street legal. While it will get you around on dry land, it does not float and won’t get far on the water.

The boat car has the body of a 1986 Chris Craft Scorpion 210 but the wheels, bottom frame, seats and steering wheel of the Ford. Moore, according to

 NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD Police: Boater finds human bones near Mississippi River MEMPHIS, Tennessee (AP)— Authorities in Tennessee say they are trying to identify human remains found by a boater near a marina off of the Mississippi River.

News outlets report Memphis police were called to the Riverside Park Marina on Oct. 7 morning where a boater led officers to human bones he found

Pensacola News Journal, sawed off the top half of his Ford Expedition and replaced it with the top half of the Chris Craft, an old boat he had sitting in his backyard for years. It seats eight people and gets about 20 miles to the gallon.

Moore has been hitting the streets of Pensacola since about February with his wife, Karen Moore, who is also this boat’s first mate.

Moore told PNJ he got the idea for the boat car from a car show in Mississippi late last year, where he saw a similar, smaller car and boat hybrid. He went on to tell PNJ he’d been considering refurbishing the old Chris Craft he had sitting in his backyard but never got around to spending the money to do so. Moore told PNJ he grew up fixing cars with his dad and completed the project in about six weeks.

Moore often wears a captain

near a boat ramp there.

Police confirmed the remains are human, but have not yet identified them.

The department is investigating.

The diner closed in 2000, but Miller stayed on as innkeeper for the floating bed-and-breakfast.

When owners Tom Welna and Ann Holt were ready to sell, Miller was ready to buy. Her dream became reality in 2004, and for the past 15 years she’s operated the Covington Inn, a four-bedroom, multi-level B-and-B that welcomes guests year-round, even in the dead of winter, to the quiet shoreline of the Mississippi.

Now Miller has another dream

– to put Minnesota winter behind her for good.

She plans to pack up with her fiancé, a St. Paul Public Works employee, and run a hostel-like inn on a Panamanian island just south of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. Miller, a seasoned backpacker who has completed extensive travels throughout Europe and Latin America with her identical twin sister, has scouted out the area in Bocas del Toro. But first she needs to sell her houseboat, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.

News Briefs From page 4

“There’s been some interest, but we have to get it out of the water,” said Miller, who has been marketing the Covington Inn for sale since 2014. She’s asked Upper River Services to complete a hull inspection, which would require towing the 1940s-era towboat on dry land to their marine location beneath U.S. 52.

“Hopefully it’ll get done this October,” Miller said. “We have to wait for the river to cooperate. It has to be eight feet (high) or less. It’s eight feet right now.”

Over the past five years, Miller’s asking price has dropped from $650,000 to $499,000. The B-and-B can comfortably host eight guests overnight, or 11 with pullout beds. The inn can also host some 50 people for weddings and other special events. No one under age 14 is allowed overnight. Every room has a gas fireplace, private baths and views of the riverfront.

It makes for a sizable home. The boat is 120 feet long and 28 feet wide, with 3,200 square feet of finished space and 2,200 square feet of deck space.

So what’s the best part of owning a floating B-and-B? “Being my own boss. I don’t have to commute,” Miller said. “I barely drive. I put 3,000 (miles) on my car every two years.

We have a little boat at the Upper Harbor – a 25-foot cabin cruiser. We go cruising around after I get people checked in, all summer long.”

And the worst part?

“The greatest amenity is the worst enemy,” she said. “I was closed for 42 nights this past spring for flooding. The water didn’t get the highest (ever), but it was the longest duration” in recent history.

When guests aren’t around, life on her side of the river can be a little quiet.

After 17 years at Harriet Island, the Minnesota Centennial Showboat – a replica paddleboat that once hosted University of Minnesota theater productions – sailed away in mid-September on a two-day journey to Winona, Minnesota. New owners plan to convert it into an event center.

Founded in 1969, Padelford Riverboats still host local river cruises. Events like the Irish Fair sometimes draw a crowd to the regional park. But despite the city’s long-standing stated intentions to breathe some new recreational energy into the Mississippi, Miller acknowledges it’s not exactly Cancun.

“I’m the only business – me and the Padelford hanging tough,” Miller said.

Man sentenced for lying about Superstorm Sandy damage HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP)—A Connecticut man must pay a $5,000 fine and serve two years’ probation after making false statements to obtain a Small Business Administration loan to repair his marina.

Thirty-nine-year-old Scott Sundholm, of Old Saybrook, was sentenced for claiming his marina suffered extensive damage from Superstorm Sandy in 2012. According to federal court documents, he claimed parts of his marina – including a bathhouse, boat ramp and floating boat docks – suffered extensive damage.

US Coast Guard is investigating a distress call’s legitimacy SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP)—The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating the possibility that a distress call about a capsized boat off the coast of southern Maine was a hoax.

The Coast Guard initiated a 22-hour search on Oct. 6 after a series of short distress calls from a man who claimed he and his three children had capsized 10 nautical miles off the coast of Kennebunkport, Maine.

In a public statement the Coast Guard suspended the search Sunday after reportedly searching 1,500 square nautical miles.

The Coast Guard released a recording of the distress call and asked the public to help identify the voice to determine if it was a hoax.

Barge hits marina, sets boats adrift in Ohio River LUDLOW, Kentucky (AP)—Fire and police units are at the scene of a barge accident that set several boats adrift or sinking in the Ohio River.

The barge hit the Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club hard enough to partially submerge the marina’s bar and grill.

Kenton County Director of Homeland Security and Management Steve Hensley told news outlets six boats were knocked loose.

Hensley said one person was on the barge and one person on one of the boats, but neither was injured.

Officials say the restaurant and patio of the yacht club were heavily damaged with some of it attached to the barge that struck it.

Ludlow Police Chief Scott Smith said the Coast Guard is investigating and the barge operator was being questioned.

RE:“Newport Beach Docks (again): Who is “Concerned Boater”?” (Sept. 6-19) I hope that the county finally sees that Lt. Corn is a bad actor and should not be in a position of public trust. He made a unilateral decision to violate a Coastal Commission directive and from the actions above is clearly willing to deceive the public. How is a person like this in a position of authority? Certainly should have the attention of the Orange County Sheriff. Hopefully they can move him to a more appropriate assignment and away from our harbor.

Newport Beach citizen As a sworn Deputy for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Lt. Corn has an obligation to be honest and forthcoming in all of his dealings, both on and off duty. If Lt. Corn has provided false information to the public regarding Sheriff’s Department related matters (via an alias or not) he needs to suffer the consequences. The Sheriff and Board of Supervisors need to immediately drop the misguided efforts (led by Lt. Corn) to shut the public out of these county

owned public docks at Newport Harbor. We need more public access and involvement at this facility (to serve as watchdogs), not less!

Dismayed Boater It looks like the matter has been resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. Why is this still being beaten about??

Doug It has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the public. The dock on the north side of the station is still painted red and has signs that it is off limits to the public. This used to be a common pick up and drop off point for people leaving the harbor loading guest that live on the CDM side of the bay. The dinghy dock hours have been expanded but are not what they used to be and are not what was agreed to by the Coastal Commission when they county received authorization to rebuild the Harbor Patrol station. Additionally the parking lot closures are still in place. Half the parking lot was closed for “protection” purposes and the staff at the station seems to have been instructed to park in the

Gov. Newsom signs bill to regulate drunk boating SB 393, officially on the books, will allow boats operated by intoxicated individuals to be impounded for up to 30 days.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO—A proposal calling for boats operated by intoxicated individuals to be impounded for up to 30 days was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 8. Senate Bill 393 (SB 393) made it to Newsom’s desk after a previous attempt to have a similar proposal signed into law was actually vetoed under Jerry Brown’s administration.

State Sen. Jeff Stone, R-Riverside County, introduced SB 393 earlier this year; it was proposed in response to the death of Sara Margiotta, a 10-year-old who was killed on the Colorado River. Margiotta died after a drunken

boater struck her family’s boat.

Stone had proposed Senate Bill 644 during the 2016-17 legislative session; the bill also called for vessel impoundment similar to SB 393, but Brown, as governor, vetoed the proposal. Brown said Stone’s proposal would not deter anyone from engaging in illegal activities.

So, here’s the $64,000 question, the 800pound gorilla in the room: which governor was on point, Brown in saying a vessel impound law would not alter illegal behavior or Newsom’s endorsement of a similar proposal a few years later?

Before answering this question let’s review the factual background and legislative perspective about SB 393.

Stone positioned his vessel impound proposal as easy to digest and a necessary move to streamline California’s laws of operating an automobile or boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

SAN PEDRO—A man named Albert Halfhill opened Southern California’s first-ever sardine cannery in 1893. The cannery –California Fish Co. – opened its door’s on Terminal Island, the manmade landform between Long Beach and San Pedro. California was the world’s leading producer of oysters when Halfhill founded California Fish Co. The company exclusively canned sardines during its first 10 years of existence. Halfhill expanded his company’s operations to include canned tuna in 1903. Tuna became the leading commercial catch for San Pedro’s canneries by 1918.

Canned tuna was California Fish Company’s invention, offered as a cheaper alternative to chicken.

“Canned tuna was slow to catch on, but thanks to some clever promotion – including persuading grocers to give it away with the purchase of coffee – it took off and slowly but surely became one of the fastest growing industries in the [L.A.] Harbor,” an article about San Pedro’s fisheries in the Los Angeles Conservancy stated.

“The introduction of canned tuna coincided with the arrival of a small group of Japanese abalone fishermen from nearby White Point,” the L.A. Conservancy article continued. “Bringing expertise from their home region of Wakayama Prefecture, they soon proved to be extremely talented at commercial tuna fishing. Fishermen of Italian, Yugoslavian, Austrian and Japanese descent made up most of the fishing fleet, and the Japanese were particularly noted for their skill.”

A historical overview of San Pedro’s tuna fisheries by NOAA noted the fishermen who worked here during the late 1800s and early 1900s revolutionized fishing techniques. The use of bamboo pole and line gear techniques from Japan, for example, helped San Pedro fishermen increase catches of albacore and yellowfin.

Refrigeration techniques from Europe, meanwhile, were implemented in San Pedro, allowing Southern California canneries to ship their catches beyond the Los Angeles, San Diego and Baja California coasts.

The fishing economy of Terminal Island began to slow, however, in the 1960s, with the last major operation – Star-Kist – leaving town in 1984.

Los Angeles County estimates the March 3, 2020 election will cost 32,296.55, plus legal costs for the development of ballot measures.

Ship sailing by Point Loma, old lighthouse in view

SAN DIEGO — Spotted in this 1887 photo is a ship sailing by Point Loma in San Diego, with the old lighthouse in view. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse was built in 1855 at the southern tip of Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. It served as a beacon for sailors and stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. According to the National Park Service, in 1891, the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the

Newport Beach citizen Doug, the matter has NOT been resolved.

The Sheriff’s Department was called out for violating the Coastal Act by the Coastal Commission Enforcement Division in May of this year. Rather than bring the matter into full compliance of the violations, the Sheriff’s Department has chosen to apply for a retro-active Coastal Development Permit in an attempt to sneak this through.

They are attempting to shut down much of the public access that existed at the facility for decades. It appears Lt. Corn has been disseminating misinformation under an alias in order to confuse the general public. This is a shocking development.

The political weight of elected Sheriff Don Barnes is significant. Don’t be surprised if this gets buried under the OC curtain.

RE:“Oceanside beefs up work plan for harbor” (Sept. 6-19) Is there a way to pressure wash the parking lot? Especially next to the coffee house on the south end of the harbor – it gets really, really dirty, often times gross.

Thank you! Looking forward to all the improvements.

Erin I understand the harbor bathrooms are remodeled, I’m not sure I understand why the sinks that where put in where chosen.

Has anyone tried to use them? As far as infectious control goes these sinks fall far from what I would consider an improvement. Your hand must physically touch the sink in order to get them wet. Please have someone in charge really look at these sinks. We should realize we made a mistake and replace them to do we all can be a little healthier this year. Maybe we can consider purchasing something that turns on so no one has to touch a filthy sink.

Trish How about checking all of the kayaks stored on the docks. We moored a boat on J dock for almost four years and never got a rack for our kayaks. You can easily tell that many haven’t been used for years.

A groundbreaking for L.A. Waterfront’s San Pedro Public Market will take place in early 2020, according to the Port of Los Angeles. The marketplace is part of a larger revitalization of San Pedro’s waterfront. The entire redevelopment could be completed by 2022.

Los Angeles plans a spring 2020 groundbreaking for San Pedro Public Market

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN PEDRO—Plans for the L.A. Waterfront redevelopment project in San Pedro, so much so the city has announced a groundbreaking ceremony for the public market space set to be built over the old Ports O’ Call Village will take place at some point in spring 2020.

San Pedro Public Market is slated to be completed and operational by fall 2021, according to city officials and the developer.

A second groundbreaking for the L.A. Waterfront’s promenade and town square elements would take place in winter 2020, according to a news report.

The new Public Market venue will replace the former Ports O’ Call village, which was once home to a marina and several restaurants. Both the marina and restaurants were torn down in recent years, in order to eventually make way for San Pedro Public Market.

Port district officials, in 2016, entered into a 50-year lease agreement to redevelop and renovate 30 acres of San Pedro’s waterfront. One of the immediate effects of the lease agreement: boaters leasing slips at the Ports O’ Call marina had to vacate immediately.

The evictions were more than three years ago – but there is a light appearing at the end of the redevelopment tunnel, with the groundbreaking ceremony announcement.

Conceptual plans for the San Pedro Public Market were presented at a special town hall meeting hosted by the Port of Los Angeles in March 2018. The new marketplace would be defined as a

visitor-serving destination with dining, retail and recreational elements.

Tearing down Ports O’ Call Village or the brighter and shinier new toy that is the San Pedro Marketplace is part of a larger redevelopment project known as L.A. Waterfront. The city of Los Angeles could spend as much as $100 million on the L.A. Waterfront redevelopment, which aims to convert San Pedro into a coastal visitor-serving destination similar to Santa Monica or Newport Beach.

Bringing the L.A. Waterfront project online could also result in the relocation of USS Iowa, as it was previously reported in The Log. USS Iowa could be moved in order to better serve cruise tourists and accommodate visitor-serving amenities. The World War II battleship could be moved closer to San Pedro Public Market; moving the ship could cost the port district $16.5 million.

Wilmington would also undergo a few changes as part of the L.A. Waterfront revitalization. More than $50 million is expected to be poured into the new “Wilmington Waterfront Promenade,” another visitor-serving destination to be built at the Port of L.A. The new Wilmington Waterfront Promenade could have high-end stores, luxury hotels and other amenities, once built. Port district officials anticipate the Wilmington Waterfront Project would be online and operational by the spring of 2022.

Certain elements of the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade were still being hashed out when The Log last reported on the project. The Log hasn’t received any updates on the project.

Additional reporting on San Pedro Public Market and Wilmington Waterfront Promenade will be provided when new information is made available to The Log. General details about the project are available online at lawaterfront.org.

The port district is also pursuing a comprehensive approach to reducing vessel pollution.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—Copper and in-hull water cleaning has been off The Log’s radar for quite some time, but the issues has come back into relevance recently, thanks to interests in Marina del Rey and officials in San Diego broaching the topic of Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, in recent weeks. Port district staff sought the board’s direction to update an ordinance on TMDL and in-water hull cleaning.

TMDL and in-water hull cleaning policies were the subject of the Port of San Diego’s most recent board meeting.

Port district staff spoke with commissioners about the future of TMDL, copper loading, in-water hull cleaning and other vessel pollution matters at the board’s Oct. 8 meeting.

The port district has been under a state mandate since 2005 to reduce copper pollution at Shelter Island Yacht Basin. San Diego’s Regional Water Quality Control Board has specifically required the Port of San Diego to reduce copper loading into Shelter Island Yacht Basin by 76 percent before the end of 2022.

Commissioners directed port district staff to develop and update the district’s TMDL and in-water hull cleaning policies. Port district staff was also directed to pursue a comprehensive approach to vessel pollution.

Karen Holman, the port district’s director of environmental protection, presented updated research on vessel pollution, best available science and boater outreach initiatives.

Port district staff, in their TMDL presentation to the board, provided examples of copper-reduction initiatives at other marinas and harbors.

Marina del Rey, for example, Copper, in-water hull cleaning and the future of TMDL were all discussed at a recent Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners meeting.

“Any updates would be implemented bay-wide and would include provisions that in-water hull cleaners, marinas and yacht clubs, and boat owners must follow,” port district staff said in a report to the board. “Outreach has already been occurring to the target audiences: boaters, marinas/ yacht clubs, in-water hull cleaners, boatyards, and the boating community at-large.”

A lease for Avalon Marina Bay has been recommended for transfer, thanks to a Small Craft Harbor Commission vote on Sept. 18. The recommendation heads to the L.A County Board of Supervisors for a final vote.

Small Craft Harbor Commission recommends lease assignment for Avalon Marina Bay The Marina del Rey parcel could be transferred to a group of companies if Board of Supervisors agrees with the recommendation.

By Parimal M. Rohit

MARINA DEL REY—The L.A. County Small Craft Harbor Commission has recommended a transfer of lease for Avalon Marina Bay in Marina del Rey; commissioners made the recommendation during their Sept. 18 meeting.

The recommendation heads to the county’s Board of Supervisors, where the five-member panel would vote to approve or reject the commission’s action.

Avalon Marina Bay’s current leaseholder, Archstone Marina Bay Nominee, formally requested its lease agreement be transferred to a trio of companies: TC Marina Del Ray LLC, CG Marina Del Rey LLC and JSP Marina Del Rey LLC. All three would operate the lease agreement as tenants in common and under a leasehold purchase and sale agreement.

Avalon Bay Marina is home to 205 apartment units and a 207-slip marina.

Archstone Marina Bay seeks to transfer its leasehold to TC Marina Del Ray LLC, CG Marina Del Rey LLC and JSP Marina Del Rey LLC for $86 million.

“The Lease requires that the Lessee must obtain the County’s consent to the proposed assignment of the lease, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,” county staff told commissioners in a report. “The decision whether to approve the proposed assignment is guided by the criteria within the Department of Beaches and Harbors Department (Department) Policy Statement No. 23 – Assignments of Lease, dated January 16, 1974.”

The county’s criteria specifically call for the party or parties taking on the leasehold to be of sound financial condition. The proposed sale price must also represent the parcel’s fair market value. Transferring the parcel to a new party must also be in the best interest

of Marina del Rey, as a whole.

TC Marina Del Ray LLC, CG Marina Del Rey LLC and JSP Marina Del Rey LLC have, according to county officials, “adequately demonstrated the ability to capitalize the existing leasehold as well as the funds necessary to maintain it.” The $86 million sale price also represents fair market value, county staff added.

Transferring Avalon Marina Bay to a new ownership and management group would also be in the best interest of the whole of Marina del Rey, county staff opined.

“In consultation with county counsel and outside counsel and the review of the Lease and proposed assignment agreement and related documents as they relate to the above criteria, Department [of Beach and Harbors] staff determined that the county has no reasonable basis to withhold consent to the proposed assignment,” county staff stated in its report to commissioners. “The department, therefore, recommends ... consent to the assignment.”

L.A. County’s Department of Beaches and Harbors will receive about $1.7 million from the transaction, according to county staff.

“A majority of the funds will be ... [used] to continue to maintain and improve the public areas of the marina and its infrastructure,” county staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The remaining amount will be retained by and allocated to the operating budget for the Department of Beaches and Harbors and will be accounted for as over-realized revenue in FY 2019-20.

“Costs of the consultants involved in the assignment of the leasehold are being reimbursed by the Lessee on an ongoing bases,” county staff’s report continued.

The leasehold on Avalon Marina Bay in Marina del Rey runs through June 7, 2051. Planned improvements on the parcel include two four-story apartment buildings containing 205 units and a 207-slip marina. The parcels frontage is on Tahiti Way.

British architects Guylee Simmonds and David Schnabel repurposed a 100-person lifeboat into a houseboat for a months-long journey.

By Lindsey Welling

SUSSEX, United Kingdom—It looks like a yellow submarine, but this former lifeboat has a new purpose as the ultimate adventure vessel. British architects, Guylee Simmonds and David Schnabel, converted the old lifeboat into a houseboat and in May used it to go on a four-month journey from the Sussex Coast in the United Kingdom to the Arctic Circle, with even more travels planned.

“We wanted to experience a range of different cultures, different approaches to living by the sea, different landscapes, different climates,” Simmonds said in an email.

Named Stodig – Norwegian for steady – the boat is 33 feet long, 3.5 feet wide with about 6.5 feet of headroom and weighs about 5 tons. The lifeboat had been decommissioned from a Scottish ferry where it, thankfully, never got its moment of glory as a savior.

The idea for the journey started with a conversation about an extended hiking trip around Northern Norway.

Simmonds said he spotted a part-converted lifeboat on a river three years ago and the idea snowballed from there.

In January of 2018, Simmonds and Schnable left their jobs, but did still work while on their journey.

“Alongside our jobs we were completing our onerous professional studies, in the final phases of seven years of architecture qualification, our yearning for adventure became This former 100-person lifeboat is now a traveling home for two British architects and their dog.

Geirangerfjord has 1,500 meter precipices with near vertical cliffs dropping down to the waters below. They said they were dwarfed by the scale of the cliffs.

“Anyone who has spent much time in a boatyard will come across dozens of people who have projects and dreams and, unfortunately, other things in life will get in the way,” Schnabel said. “If you want to take a big trip, you just have to keep in mind why you are doing it in the first place, then take a leap and get on with it.”

Newsom signs bills on marine invasive species and aquaculture

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—California’s legislative session might be over but bills were still being signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom during the first week of October – and two of those approved proposals making into the law books might be of interest for those who pay close attention to maritime matters.

Newsome, on Oct. 2, signed one bill to address marine invasive species and a second proposal making changes to California’s aquaculture and commercial fishing operations.

AB 912: Marine invasive species

in Newport Harbor

Muratsachi said AB 912 protects the state’s waters from invasive species.

“This bill will better position California to implement ballast water discharge standards to protect California waters from invasive species introductions,” Muratsachi said. “The purpose is also to authorize the [State Lands Commission] to sample ballast water and bio-fouling for research.”

The commission only has authority to sample for compliance purposes prior to the passage and signing of AB 912.

SB 262: Aquaculture State Sen. Marc MgGuire, D-Santa Rosa, brought Senate Bill 262 (SB 262) to the legislative floor in February as part of an effort to make various changes to commercial fishing and aquaculture operations in California.

Santa Barbara Harbor maintains steady revenues for current fiscal year

Parimal M. Rohit photo

The Waterfront Department reported less than 1 percent revenue growth for most recent accounting year; weather was partially blamed for limited income.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SANTA BARBARA—Growth is growth, no matter how big or small, right? This mantra was certainly in effect at Santa Barbara Harbor Commission’s Sept.

19 meeting, when the city’s Waterfront Business Manager Brian Bosse gave a presentation on the harbor’s most recent budget.

Revenues for the 2019 fiscal year, which ran from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, were slightly up, when compared to projections. And “slightly up” means revenues were up $9,259 for Fiscal Year 2019, when compared to the projections for the same fiscal year.

Waterfront Department staff added revenues were not as high as they could have been because the city of Santa Barbara experienced unusual weather patterns during the past 9 to 12 months.

impacts on overall revenues,” city staff said in a report to commissioners.

Bosse, nonetheless, was upbeat and optimistic – harbor revenues were not in the negative and expenditures were lower than anticipated.

“Big picture, we’re doing alright. We came it a little bit over on revenues and significantly below on expenditures,” Bosse said. “We’re doing well, [but] but we can always do better.”

The harbor brought in $15,264,922 in total revenues for Fiscal Year 2019, which was slightly more than the $15,255,663 budgeted for the year.

Overall revenues were up $9,259 from initial projections, but there were some caveats. The food service leases

category, for example, was down five percent ($178,426 less than projections during the fiscal year). Commercial lease revenues were also down from projections, albeit slightly ($8,765 less during the fiscal year).

Actual revenues for Fiscal Year 2019 were 2.25 percent – or $335,936 – more than the previous fiscal year, according to Bosse.

The slip transfer fees line item, on the other side, was up 19 percent for Fiscal Year 2019; there were 78 transfers during the fiscal year, totaling $1,189,447. The transfers yielded the harbor’s Waterfront Department an additional $189,447 for Fiscal Year 2019.

Revenues from visitor fees finished

five percent (up $23,386) above projections for Fiscal Year 2019.

Parking revenues in general finished three percent below projections ($68,394 less than anticipated); Stearns Wharf Parking, specifically, was seven percent lower than projected ($13,073 less than anticipated).

The Waterfront Department saw the category of “Other Fees & Charges) finish 16 percent higher than projected ($46,744 more than anticipated).

The “Miscellaneous” category was 14 percent less than what was forecast for the fiscal year ($47,436 less than anticipated).

Salaries and benefits were down nine percent compared to projections ($630,480 less than anticipated).

Equipment costs were reduced by $104,428 (71 percent). The department also had a 13 percent reduction in the Materials, Supplies and Services category ($632,379 less than anticipated).

The Sept. 19 Harbor Commission meeting was the final one for Mick Kronman, who had been with the Waterfront Department since 2000.

Kronman officially retired on Sept.

20; city staff stated he had attended 190 Harbor Commission meetings during his tenure as Harbor Operations Manager.

SAN DIEGO—Members of California’s Boating and Waterways Commission will hold its next meeting in San Diego on Oct. 23 and 24. Commissioners, along with Division of Boating and Waterways staff, will tour the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp facility at 9 a.m. on Oct. 23.

The Division of Boating and Waterways provided the Port of San Diego with some funding to renovate and upgrade the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp facility. Total cost for the renovation was $9.6 million – $6.5 million from the Division of Boating and Waterways and $3.1 million from California’s Wildlife Conservation Board.

It’s been 10 months since portions of the boat launch ramp was re-opened to San Diego’s boating public. Port district officials officially dedicated the revamped venue on Jan. 22, more than one-and-a-half years after it was shut down for renovations.

Just Cruisin’ On By: Avalon Tries to Manage Cruise Traffic Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines will come to Avalon in June 2021, but is Catalina fast approaching a critical mass with cruising market?

AVALON—Avalon’s City Council held an in-depth conversation about the effects of cruise ships on the local economy and infrastructure on Oct. 1. At the heart of the discussion was whether the city drew enough revenue from the cruise ships without having more visitors than Avalon could handle.

Carnival Cruise Lines sends two of its ships – Inspiration and Imagination – to Avalon on a weekly basis. Avalon has an agreement with the cruise line where the city collects full wharfage fees on one vessel and reimburses Carnival for half the wharfage rate of all passengers on the second ship. The second ship must visit Avalon at least 50 times per year in order for the reimbursement to be in effect.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines will be sending a ship to Avalon on Wednesdays, between June and September in 2021 and 2022.

“As this vessel is the only one scheduled from Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and is only scheduled to call on Avalon 16 times a year, it will not receive a marketing incentive reimbursement,” city staff stated in a report to council members. “Assuming there are approximately 2,500 visitors aboard the vessel each time it calls on Avalon, the vessel is projected to generate approximately $200,000 in wharfage fees annually as well as additional revenue for the Island’s economy.”

Cruise ships, which rely upon Avalon as a destination in their marketing campaigns, are a significant economic contributor to the city. The issue: at what point do cruise ship traffic become too strained for Avalon to handle?

“There’s five and six coming in a day [at other ports-of-call]. We know we can’t handle that,” Mayor Anni

A new cruise line will be coming to Avalon in 2021, but Catalina Island’s sole municipality is weighing just how much traffic it could handle. The city needs the revenue from cruise lines, but there are only so many people Avalon can manage.

Marshall said, stating Avalon doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle up to a half dozen cruise ships in a day, compared to other destinations.

Avalon Harbormaster J.J. Pointdexter made a similar statement, saying while the city needs the money coming from cruise ship visits, there is only so much Catalina Island’s sole municipality could handle.

“We shouldn’t be doing two ships at a time, our infrastructure can’t handle that,” Pointdexter told City Council members during the Oct. 1 meeting.

“Obviously the cruise ship industry is a big industry for us, it pumps in a lot of money into this town.”

Pointdexter added the cruise ships contributed $722,590 in wharfage fees to the city of Avalon between January and September of this year.

“I don’t think that anyone in our community wants to see cruise ships come in seven days a week, even five days a week,” City Manager and City Clerk Denise Radde told council members.

But Radde did acknowledge the

cruise ship industry is still quite valuable to the city of Avalon.

“I think we all remember what it was like in this town when everything closed up after Labor Day. There are a lot of people in our community that rely on those cruise ships to be here so they don’t have to leave the island in the winter,” Radde said.

Cruise ships began coming to Avalon in 1989. Avalon is one of seven ports-of-call in California; the other six are Long Beach, Los Angeles, Monterey Bay, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Ana. “Of those port cities, Avalon is unique in that it is the only port visited by cruise ships consistently that is a destination, not a port of origin. Santa Barbara and Monterey Bay are not ports of origin; however, neither city is considered a destination. Rather they each is used to seasonally reposition cruise ship fleets,” city staff stated in a report to council members.

Avalon adopted an ordinance in 2017 to set wharfage rates. The initial rate was $3 per passenger, with 50-cent

increases each year through 2021. The wharfage rate is $4 per person this year and will be at $5 per passenger by 2021.

City staff stated cruise passengers spend an average of 4.58 hours on the island, but the combination of passenger visits and wharfage fees brings $17.4 million to Catalina’s economy.

The income “accounts for 10 percent of the Harbor Fund’s operating revenue,” according to Avalon city staff.

“The Harbor Fund is used to pay for Harbor Capital Improvement projects such as the Cabrillo Mole Rehabilitation Project, South Beach Sand Replenishment, South Beach Seawall Repairs, Cabrillo Mole Float Renovations, and Casino Way Improvements,” city staff said in a report to council members. “In addition, the fund is used for contract services for Harbor Public Works including, the LA County Lifeguards and Fire Department, waterfront trash collection, public restroom maintenance, and bird abatement as well as the Harbor Department’s employee wages and salaries.”

Unmanned aircraft technology: the latest tool in coastal environmental research Matthew Pickett, founder and president of Oceans Unmanned, spoke at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum about how drones are being used for ocean and coastal research.

Oceans Unmanned photo

Broad categories of the types of missions Oceans Unmanned has supported

By Lindsey Welling

SANTA BARBARA—We know unmanned aircrafts for their use in the military and among hobbyists, but now they also have a role in coastal and oceanic research. Drone technology is now being used in whale disentanglement missions, to study marine animals and to study use patterns of recreational and commercial boaters.

Matt Pickett spent 20 years as a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) pilot, flying manned aircrafts, conducting marine resource surveys and environmental research. He spent three of those years as the superintendent of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.

Now, Pickett pilots similar projects, but from the ground. He retired about 10 years ago, just about the same time NOAA was getting hand-me-down unmanned aircrafts from the military.

He said NOAA approached him for help figuring how they could use that technology to assist in their projects and research.

“The stuff I was doing in manned aircrafts, they wanted to figure out can we do something to augment, supplement with this new technology,” Pickett said.

Seeing that need, Pickett founded Oceans Unmanned, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting oceans and coastal marine environments by facilitating the use of unmanned technologies and promoting their safe and environmentally conscious operation through education

“SB 393 is a simple measure, but it shouldn’t matter if a person is killed by a car or a boat driving by someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol – the victim is still dead and the vehicle used in the crime should be subject to asset forfeiture,” Stone said in a released statement about Newsom’s signing.

The new law also calls for a boat to be subject to the same forfeiture rules as automobiles if the aquatic vessel was used when its operator was convicted of killing someone while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

State law, prior to the signing of SB 393, allowed peace officers, lifeguards or marine safety officers to remove and store vessels from a public waterway in certain circumstances. The authority to remove vessels from public waterways was authorized by Assembly Bill 2175, which was signed into law in September 2018.

and outreach.

“There is a niche out there for the use of this technology for environmental research,” Pickett said.

He said Oceans Unmanned wants to harness the optimism, creativity and innovation of Silicone Valley culture and apply it to solve environmental issues.

Pickett highlighted some of the projects Oceans Unmanned has been involved with at a lecture at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum on Sept. 12.

One of the latest was a fur seal survey on Guadalupe Island in Mexico.

Guadalupe fur seals are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act and depleted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. NOAA has been assessing the population for years to evaluate the effectiveness of conservation and recovery measures, and to adjust management.

Currently, that assessment relies on two teams of visual observers doing manual counts. However, the rocky terrain makes it difficult to accurately count the population. Oceans Unmanned was asked to participate in this year’s survey, to see if drones could either replace what they are doing or develop correction factors.

“So that they say we know we are

missing 40 percent of the animals so whatever our counts are, we’ll multiply them by 1.4 and get a more accurate count,” Pickett said, giving an example of how a correction factor could be used.

They also used infrared cameras to spot seal pups hidden among the rocky terrain.

“Infrared, we think, is going to be a powerful tool to try to find these pups that are tucked into the rocks,” Pickett said.

Other types of projects Oceans Unmanned has been involved with include visitor and vessel use surveys, habitat mapping and characterization, enforcement, emergency response, marine debris and maritime heritage.

A project in the Florida Keys mapped prop scars where boaters were cutting the corners of the channels so the channel markers could be redone to discourage damage to the sea grass. Pickett said information from these visitor use surveys is vital to zoning regulations.

“Back when I was sanctuary superintendent, knowing where visitors, kayaks, boats were congregating and using the sanctuary and park was to me the most critical data point, as any regulations affects only human behavior,” Pickett

said. “The wildlife and environment don’t care about zones or regulations.”

However, Pickett said this use is still a bit controversial, with some viewing it “big brother is watching.”

Other possible uses for drones related to boating include initial support in emergency situations —such as for sinking boats, spotting ship wrecks and assessing damage from oil spills.

Drones can fly anywhere from as little as 20 minutes to as much as 60 minutes at a time. They can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $35,000 and Pickett compares drone technology advancement to the iPhone, with new versions coming out every year.

“The capabilities are improving every year,” he said.

Oceans Unmanned also runs a program called freeFLY, which is a volunteer network of trained drone operators who support marine mammal entanglement response efforts. They also run an educational program called ECO-drone, which encourages environmentally conscious operations of drones to protect and limit disturbances to marine resources.

for damages to the vessel while it’s being impounded.

Stone added his law proposal would provide clarity on impound rules for boating under the influence cases.

“While the law is clear about the rules for impounding a vehicle that has been used in the commission of a DUI the law is less clear on the rules for a boat that has been used in a Boating under the Influence (BUI) incident,” Stone said, according to a State Senate analysis of SB 393.

A Division of Boating and Waterways report published in 2016 stated there were 229 boating-related fatalities between 2012 and 2016. The study also found 35 percent of boating fatalities involved alcohol (where testing for alcohol was conducted).

“Even assuming half of the total number of boating deaths over a fouryear period involved BUI where the defendant owned the boat, the total number of cases statewide would be 29 per year,” a State Senate analysis of SB 393 stated.

The California District Attorneys Association supported SB 393; there was no known opposition to the bill.

The State Senate approved SB 393 by a 40-0 vote on Sept. 3; the bill made it out of the Assembly on Aug. 30, with 71 members of the lower house voting in favor of the proposal (and zero votes

against).

Margiotta’s family established a non-profit called Sara’s Way after the 2007 death. The organization, according to Stone, raises awareness “about the importance of boating safety and the dangers of drinking and boating.”

TAKE ACTION What do you think about SB 393? Would it truly deter illegal behavior? Or is it a wasted law officially on our books? Newsom might have signed Stone’s proposal into law but it’s still not too late to share your position or opinion. Reach out to the following people if you want your voice on the matter to be heard.

Catalina Connection

By Lindsey Welling TWO HARBORS—Professional big wave surfer and ten-time Molokai Paddle Champion Jamie Mitchell is on a mission. On Sept. 3, Mitchell embarked on a 170-mile paddle of the crossings between all eight Channel Islands to raise money and promote solutions towards a sustainable planet.

On Sept. 7, Mitchell paddled the final channel from San Clemente Island to Catalina Island, where he was welcomed to shore by friends and family at Cat Harbor.

The five-day paddle, however, was only the start of his mission.

Mitchell and his team, during the coming months, will build upon this idea to spark global action to collectively commit to facing impending environmental challenges in order to create a sustainable future. In partner with USC’s Wrigley Institute of Environmental Studies, which is based on Catalina Island, Mitchell said he wants to shed light on the biggest threats facing our oceans and promote

the scientific progress being made towards finding sustainable solutions.

“The ocean has given us so much, and now it’s time to give back,” Mitchell said on his project website, Seven Crossings Project.

“I want to make sure my daughters can see live, colorful coral, eat healthy seafood, and swim in a clean ocean.”

According to the website, the project will highlight climate change research, solutions, and educational outreach across Southern California, such as those at the USC Wrigley Institute. Mitchell is highlighting It’s about a 170-mile span of ocean from Santa Cruz Island to Catalina Island.

The Blob allowed West Coast Rockfish to thrive and boom: NOAA

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Remember all the talk of El Niño, The Blob and climate change, and what all of these things could mean to the future of marine life? It turns out The Blob, which was an unusual warming-of-thewater phenomenon in a large swath of the Northern Pacific Ocean near the Equator, might have helped the West Coast groundfish escape extinction.

Scientists with Oregon State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries’ Northwest Fisheries Science Center recently published a new research paper and credited the sudden rebirth of the groundfish fishery to The Blob, which started in 2014 and ended in 2016. The research paper

Bisbee’s Black & Blue Tournament returns to Cabo LOS CABOS, Mexico—One of the most popular fishing tournaments in the world returns to the cape of Baja California, as the Bisbee’s Black & Blue Tournament will be held at Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Oct. 22-26.

The shotgun start will be on Oct. 23 at 8 a.m., with tournament fishing continuing throughout the day until 5 p.m. All lines must be out of the water by 5 p.m. Fish weighing will take place at Puerto Paraiso Mall from 2-9 p.m. All boats must be in the harbor by 9 p.m. The same schedule will be in place on Oct. 24 and 25.

An awards celebration will be held on Oct. 26. The celebration will be at 6 p.m. at the A.P.I. Cruise Ship Pier. Cocktails and dinner precede a video presentation and benefit concert. There will also be a raffle and silent auction benefiting the

Green Scholarship Program and a tagging program.

There were 83 teams and 313 anglers registered for the tournament as of press time. Species up for grabs are blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, Pacific sailfish, spearfish, swordfish and sailfish.

Payouts are $31,000 for the top tournament team, $54, 405 for tournament jackpot and $6,045 for top captain. There are also several daily jackpot prizes available. Chinito Bonito was the top team at last year’s Black & Blue Tournament, followed by 4 Wahoos and True Grit.

Bob Bisbee started Bisbee’s Black & Blue Tournament in 1981. The tournament’s largest purse ever was in 2006, when the overall cash payout topped out at $4,165,960.

species benefited. They could not tell what specifically drove the boom in their numbers and or whether they will support fisheries in future years,” the NOAA blog post on the Oregon State research paper stated.

NOAA’s blog post added jellyfish also played a significant role in the recovery of West Coast groundfish. “[Scientists] suggested that the surge in rockfish may have been part of an unusual cascade of effects resulting in large part from a shift in the dominant jellyfish off the West Coast,” the NOAA blog post stated. “The typically abundant sea nettle declined in number while the less common water jellyfish multiplied to become the most abundant jellyfish in their catches.

That may have reduced predation by sea nettles on juvenile rockfish, as well as competition between the species.”

The NOAA blog post added we could still see more effects of The Blob and species mixing play out for several more years.

FishRap will continue to research and follow this story as it develops.

En Garde Catch!

NEWPORT BEACH—The father-son team of Michael and Wesley Brandon reeled in a 185-pound swordfish during the final weekend of September 2019. They brought the large catch to Balboa Angling Club and confirm its weight.

The Brandons caught the swordfish with Bob Hoose at the helm of their boat and Russ Armstrong as gaffer.

The swordfish was one of two such catches shared on Balboa Angling Club’s social media on Sept.

Commerce Secretary approves disaster assistance for California, other fisheries Federal department determined commercial fisheries in several states failed between 2017 and 2019.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Wilbur Ross, the Trump administration’s Commerce Secretary, determined multiple commercial fisheries experienced failures in California between 2017 and 2019.

Similar commercial fishery failures also occurred in Alaska, Georgia and South Carolina, according to a statement released by Ross.

Details of the failures were not mentioned in Ross’s statement. He also added regional fisheries experienced catastrophic disasters in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi due to extreme flooding events in the Gulf of Mexico.

The catastrophe and failure declaration means fisheries in these states are now eligible for disaster assistance; California’s commercial fisheries identified by Ross, for example, could apply for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funding.

Congress allocated $165 million for fishery disasters for Fiscal Year 2019, according to Ross.

“Fishing is the cornerstone of

countless coastal economies and has been a way of life for generations of Americans,” Ross said. “This determination acknowledges the critical role fisheries play in our communities, and the risks they face from natural disasters and other causes beyond their control.”

Ross stated his declaration was essential to maintain the economic value of fisheries.

“Fisheries help power coastal economies, providing jobs for fishermen,

fish processors, and other maritime industries,” Ross’s disaster declaration statement read. “However, these key resources can also be vulnerable to the effects of natural disasters and other circumstances beyond the control of fishermen and fishery managers that can cause sudden and unexpected losses, leading to devastating impacts to businesses and the surrounding communities.”

California’s Pacific sardine fishery was one of the fisheries experiencing

an economic disaster between 2017 and 2019, according to a letter sent from Gov. Gavin Newsom to Ross on June 28.

“Sardine is historically one of the top ten highest valued commercial fisheries in California. Statewide, the commercial sardine closure in 2017 resulted in a total ex­vessel value of $61,453, which is 96 percent less than the 2012-2016 average of $1,652,800,” Newsom wrote in his letter to Ross.

“In 2018 the closure resulted in a total ex-vessel value of only $77,458, which is 90 percent less than the 2013-2017 average of $800,857.

“Preliminary Pacific Sardine landings information from 2019 currently shows a total ex-vessel value of $62,292, which is 82 percent less than the 20142018 average of $346,691,” Newsom’s letter continued.

Newsom added federal assistance is necessary to help the Pacific sardine fishery rebound and maintain its role as a major economic driver in California.

“Pacific Sardine is a vital component of California’s natural resources and provides significant aesthetic, recreational, commercial, cultural, and economic benefits to our state.

Economic assistance will be critical for the well being of our fishing industry and our state,” Newsom wrote in his letter.

San Diego Report

Fall fishing for bluefin and yellowfin continues to be strong

By Bob Vanian

SAN DIEGO—The fall fishing season is well underway and the month of October has been very good so far with bluefin and yellowfin continuing to provide offshore action. The jumbo-sized bluefin bite out

by San Clemente Island faded for a couple of weeks following a three-day stretch of bad weather, but the second weekend of October saw jumbo bluefin relocated off the back side of San Clemente Island.

Fish to 250-plus pounds were reported as caught by boats fishing the region of Desperation Reef and the 81 Fathom Spot.

The bluefin were being located by finding meter marks. They were biting on kite and helium balloon fished flying fish and on kite trolled Yummy Flyers.

Some of the 40- to-100-pound bluefin were biting in other areas. The region of the 152 Spot off the East End of Catalina has been producing an occasional bluefin for boats drifting while deep drop fishing for swordfish. A technique producing an occasional bluefin while deep drop fishing for swordfish has been to drift with a mackerel up near the surface that is attached to a balloon.

There have also been some good bait stops on 40- to 100-pound bluefin reported by San Diego area boats that are fishing the region ranging from the deep water out to the southwest of the 224

Spot on out to the area inside of the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy. Recent days have seen bluefin biting in an area ranging from 30 to 38 miles, 235 to 242 degrees from Point Loma. Most of the stops in this zone have been coming from stopping on sonar marks and the bluefin have been biting on sardines and Flat Fall jigs.

Yellowfin fishing has been very good for boats fishing some of the local offshore banks below and outside of the Coronado Islands. The best zone for the yellowfin has been in the area of the 371 Bank and the nearby 425 Bank. The fishing in these areas has been producing near limit to limit action on the better days but the bite in this sector has slipped a bit over the past couple of days. What some skippers have been doing is to fish for the yellowfin around the 371 Bank and the 425 Bank in the morning hours and then try for bluefin in the area talked about in the paragraph above that is 30 to 38 miles 235 to 242 degrees from Point Loma.

The yellowfin have been ranging from 12 to 40 pounds with most falling within the 18- to 30-pound range. Yellowfin stops have been coming from meter marks, sonar marks, skipjack trolling strikes, kelp paddies, spots of breezing fish and the occasional yellowfin trolling strike.

Sardines have been working best for the yellowfin and it has been a good idea to be prepared to fish with light line and small hooks if the fish are touchy. In situa-

tions when the yellowfin are touchy, good choices would be using 15- or 20-pound test fluorocarbon leaders with a size 4 live bait hook.

There have also been some late afternoon showings of yellowfin outside of the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank. These fish are sometimes hard to get to bite but there have been a few troll fish caught and few fish caught on poppers from this zone. The past couple of days have also seen spots of breaking yellowfin showing in the area ranging between San Onofre to Oceanside for boats fishing 12 to 16 miles off the coast. The usual report from boats working the fish in this sector is that it has been tough to get them to bite.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast continues to be good for a mix of sand bass, calico bass, reds, rockfish, whitefish and sculpin and there has also been a chance at catching a bonus lingcod, halibut or yellowtail.

Rockfish are a significant part of the coastal fishing picture with a lot of the half-day and three-quarter day coastal sportboat trips now focusing on rockfish.

Recent reports of good rockfish catches have come from hard bottom areas such as the International Reef above the Mexico border, the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank at Point Loma, the upper end of La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Del Mar and Box Canyon.

The fall fishing season is in full swing and the month of October is providing some of the best tuna fishing of the season. Who knows how good it might get if the tuna group up and go on a feeding spree ahead of migrating to warmer waters for the winter months. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
