The Hokule’a Visits Ocean Institute Nov. 4-7

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

DANA POINT— The Hokule’a, an authentic Polynesian deep-sea voyaging canoe, will be in port at Ocean Institute from Nov. 4-7 to educate the public about ancient Hawaiian navigation techniques and how they affect ocean stewardship.

The Hokule’a was built in the tradition of ancient Hawaiian wa’a kaulua (a double-hulled voyaging canoe) and is 62 feet long and 20 feet wide. The Hokule’a was designed and built by the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) in the 1970s to revive and preserve the traditional Polynesian art of wayfinding and voyaging.

The canoe was modeled after ancient Polynesian designs, particularly those of traditional Hawaiian canoes, and incorporates traditional techniques and materials. Launched in Honolulu on Mar. 8, 1975, she has sailed more than 140,000 nautical miles across the Pacific.

The name “Hokule’a” means “Star of Gladness” or “Arcturus” in the Hawaiian language, referencing a star used for navigation. The Hokule’a symbolizes the Hawaiian cultural renaissance, a vessel that pays homage to the ancient Polynesian navigators who used only the stars, winds and natural signs to navigate the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The

Hokule’a has been instrumental in reviving and preserving traditional Polynesian navigation techniques with a goal of reconnecting indigenous communities across the Pacific and sharing knowledge about traditional navigation and stewardship of the ocean. The Hokule’a project seeks to demonstrate and teach these traditional navigational skills.

The Hokule’a gained widespread attention in 1976 when it successfully completed a historic voyage from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional way finding techniques without the aid of modern navigation instruments.

This voyage helped to prove the viability of ancient Polynesian navigation methods.

In subsequent years, the Hokule’a has undertaken various voyages, both in the Pacific and worldwide, to promote cult ura l excha nge, env ironment a l awareness and the importance of sustainability. Notably, from 2014 to 2017, the Hokule’a embarked on the “Malama Honua” Worldwide Voyage, circumnavigating the globe and visiting numerous countries to highlight the importance of caring for the Earth and its oceans.

FAST FAC TS

The Hokule’a remains an emblem of cultural pride in Hawaiian and wider Polynesian communities.

During its stay at Ocean Institute, the Hokule’a will play host to several activities designed to demonstrate traditional Polynesian customs, beginning at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 4 with the arrival ceremony. The Hokule’a will be welcomed with a water salute by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and escorted into the harbor by the Ocean Institute’s RV Sea Explorer and members of local canoe clubs.

From 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., there will be a welcome ceremony in the Ocean Institute courtyard, with speeches, cultural tributes and ceremonial dances to celebrate the occasion. The festivities continue Nov. 5, from 9 to 11 a.m. and from 2 to 4 p.m., with Hokule’a Dockside Canoe Tours. Visitors may come aboard to meet the Hokule’a crew and learn about the Hokule’a and the Moananuiakea Voyage, an expedition that began in 2013, with Please see FAST FACTS, PAGE 7

Pinckney Treaty Signed 228 Years Ago, Granting U.S. Access to Navigate Mississippi River M. CLEMENTS

Pinckney’s Treaty, formally known as the Treaty of San L orenzo, wa s a sig nific a nt diplomatic agreement signed on Oct. 27, 1795, between the U.S. and Spain. It was negotiated by American diplomat Thomas Pinckney and Spanish envoy Manuel de Godoy, the Prime Minister of Spain, in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain.

Key provisions of Pinckney’s Treaty included: • Border clarification.

• The free navigation of the Mississippi River.

• Granting American merchants the right to store

goods in the Port of New Orleans temporarily.

• Improv ing d iplomatic relations between the U.S. and Spain.

The treaty established the southern boundary of the U.S. along the 31st parallel, from the Mississippi River to the Appalachian Mountains. This helped to clarify and define the border between Spanish Florida and the U.S. Additionally, Spain agreed to allow American citizens the right to navigate the entire length of the Mississippi River and the right to deposit goods at the port of New Orleans for transfer to ocean-going vessels.

The treaty granted American merchants the right to use the port of New Orleans to temporarily store goods for export.

American goods also could be transported on the Mississippi River through Spanish territory w ithout being subjected to Spanish taxes or duties. Overall, the treaty aimed to improve diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Spain, which had been tense due to border disputes and issues related to trade and navigation.

The treaty was significant for the young U.S., particularly those living in the western frontier, as it provided crucial access to the Mississippi River and the vital

In Memoriam: Bob Stapp Bob Stapp, the founder of Seaway Boats, passed away in early October. Bob was a beloved mariner who was well-known throughout the marine industry. Bob was a true California legendary boat builder for over six decades since 1958.

Bob’s memorial service took place in San Pedro on the weekend of Oct. 7.

Bob’s career in the boating industry started at the Jeffrey shipyard before he started his own company, Seaway Boats. Bob was in the Navy and earned a degree in drafting. Bob’s specialty was what was called cold mold construction, which refers to a boat-building technique that uses layers of wood veneers or planks that are laminated together with epoxy or other adhesives to form the hull of a boat.

Bob will be missed by all who knew him.

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

2C

By David Weil

California’s Boating and Fishing News

What are Coast Guard regulations for 2C DARK commercial vessels over 40 feet long when BKGND backing up?

QUESTION:

What are the Coast Guard regulations regarding commercial vessels over 40 feet long when they are backing up? The U,S, Coast Guard code I found says there should be horn blasts when reversing.

It seems to me that the commercial vessels docked in my harbor are not abiding by any signaling codes. This presents a hazard to other mariners. The public needs to be advised of the danger presented and the lack of code enforcement.

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

ANSWER: Our reader is complaining that BW commercial boats are not using the sound signals set forth in the “Rules of the Road.” I will first note that commercial mariners are invariably very familiar with the Rules, and they usually follow those Rules to the letter. But let’s take a look.

Our reader is looking for guidance under the International and Inland Navigation Rules, also known as the “Rules of the Road.” The Navigation Rules were formalized in 1972 in the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (commonly called COLREGS, but I’ll refer to them simply as the “Rules”). The Rules include guidelines for the operation of a vessel when other vessels are in sight, and for the use of sound signals, lights and day shapes.

We should first note that, contrary to our reader’s assumption, this has nothing to do with the length of the boat or whether it is a pleasure boat or a commercial boat. The rules make no distinction at all between recreational and commercial boats. Rule 1(a) provides simply that “These Rules shall apply to all vessels upon Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

the high seas and in all waters connected therewith navigable by seagoing vessels.”

In other words, they apply to everyone.

A system that provides different sets of rules for boats operating on the same waterway would be pretty chaotic.

Likewise, the Rules make no distinction for the length of a vessel in the operation of the vessel or the use of sound signals. There are, however, differences in how a vessel must be equipped based on the size of the vessel. For example, Rule 33(b) provides that a “vessel of less than 12 meters in length shall not be obliged to carry [permanently installed sound signaling appliances] but if she does not, she shall be provided with some other means of making an efficient sound signal” (such as a portable air horn).

This exception for the length of the vessel applies to how it is equipped – not to the actual making of the sound signals.

Regarding the actual sound signals, our reader is concerned about the signal required when a vessel is backing up. His question is referring to Rule 34(a)(i) of the Inland Rules, which provides that when “power-driven vessels are in sight of one another . . . when maneuvering as authorized or required by these Rules: (i) shall indicate that maneuver by the following signals on her whistle: one short blast to mean ‘I intend to leave you on my port side,’ two short blasts to mean ‘I intend to leave you on my starboard side,’ and three short blasts to mean ‘I am operating astern propulsion.’ So, he was looking for, but did not hear, three short blasts.

The Navigation Rules comprise an international regulatory strategy that has been codified in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulation. Compliance is not optional, and an operator may be fined for failing to comply with the Rules. However, failure to comply is not, by itself, a crime.

Instead, compliance is guided through civil and administrative action in the event of a collision or other incident.

Our reader is upset at the lack of enforcement in his harbor, but I would first ask whether he complies with all sound signals on his boat. Does he sound three short blasts every time he backs out of his slip? And as noted above there are other signals. For example, does he sound one short blast when he intends to pass an approaching boat on his port side?

Maybe. But uniform and unwavering enforcement of the Rules for sound signals is just not practical. Instead, boaters are generally left to the use of their own discretion. They are expected to be familiar with all the Rules, including the Rules for sound signals, so that they are prepared to use them properly when a situation arises. Failure to do so may lead to a finding of fault in the event of a lawsuit after a collision, or for a commercial operator, it may lead to the Coast Guard taking action against their license after a collision.

The most important take-away here is to know the Rules and to be prepared to apply them correctly as situations arise with other boats on the water. We should point out that every boat that is 12 meters or more in length is required to carry a copy of the Rules aboard at all times. Pick up a copy and read through them. The Rules are available in a book that is sold at most marine hardware stores, or online at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/ default/files/pdf/navRules/navrules.pdf.

MEXICO REPORT

This fall’s annual migration of recreational boats into Mexican waters is expected to be quite a bit larger than it was last year, mostly due to the fact that Richard Spindler is retiring so this is probably the last Baja Ha Ha. The statistics are already showing a healthy increase.

For example, as of August 30, 2023, the venerable Baja Ha Ha southbound group already had 180 sailboats entered for their October 31 exodus into Mexico.

The Panama Posse (Mexico to Panama) already had 244 early entrant boats, and more than a quarter of those were longrange trawler cruisers.

This cruising season (2023-2024), some Panama Posse participants are expanding their cruising plans beyond Panama, well into the Caribbean and South Pacific. Obviously, this year’s southbound migration will not be a onesize-fits-all activity. The only common factor is that all of us West Coast boaters will start our southbound adventure by voyaging down the 800-n.m. Pacific side of the Baja California Peninsula.

The outside of Baja is ruggedly beautiful, but it is also infamous for its lack of yacht services (fuel docks, marinas, yacht repairs) after Ensenada and for its paucity of reliable overnight anchorages.

Five Tips for Successful South-bounding

Here are 5 little tips for successful south-bounding dow n the Baja Peninsula. These tips were learned in the proverbial school of hard knocks, by trial and error, lots of errors, discovered by myself and by dozens of more experienced Mexico cruisers. May these tips enrich your planning and especially your actual doing.

1. Don’t think your boat must cross the border on November 1 just because that’s the first date your marine insurance allows it, or just because the Baja Ha Ha departs en masse from San Diego on October 31.

Why? Because hurricane season ignores calendar dates. Just last week, Hurricane Norma damaged or destroyed almost a dozen cruising boats in La Paz harbor alone. Also, the onslaught of newly arriving U.S. boaters in Baja tends to book up all the marina slips, suck up all the boat fuel and fill up all the best anchoring spots.

So you might wisely choose to wait seven to 10 days, or until all the Ha Ha folks have sailed south of Turtle Bay’s anchorage and Maria’s fuel pier. Or wait and spend the year-end holidays with friends and family, then set out after New Year’s Day – as many independent boaters do.

2. Do plan to officially clear into Mexico at Ensenada. Why? Because the CIS office makes it easy and safe, and because it’s actually the law. The CIS (Centro Integral de Servicios) building is across the street from the NE corner

of Ensenada ha rbor.

If you don’t clear in at Ensenada, the next Por t Capt a in’s office is at Cabo San Lucas; until you clear in there, you’ll officially be illegal immigrants.

3. Nobody expects y ou t o b e flue nt i n Spanish, but a huge help is “Spanish for Cruisers”

by Kathy Parsons, used as a textbook by La Paz cruisers. Learn words for things on your boat, for weather a nd sea conditions you’ll experience on Baja. Practice speaking Spanish on the VHF, using “cambio” for “over.”

I was northbound from Turtle Bay going slow in dense fog, totally dependent on radar. As I approached the south side of the Punta Eugenia headland, I dutifully got on VHF 16 to notify all vessels of my location, course and speed. Then using my pocket dict i o n ar y I s o m e wh a t timidly repeated it all in Spanish, using “cambio” for “over.”

Im m e d i a t e l y , t h e C e d r o s Is l a n d p o r t captain blasted out some kind of warning. Was he South-bounding down Baja requires some offshore hops. talking to me? Flipping through my dictionary, I found his strange word: Remolcador?

Does that mean tug boat? No, I’m not a tug boat. Just to be safe, I pulled back to slow bell as my radar peeked past the point of land.

Ah ha! I picked up a tiny blip only 1500 feet ahead of me. It was barely moving, definitely westward, and had already crossed my northbound course line. So I might very easily have aimed for a point east of his stern and proceeded north. But, whoa! Trailing a full mile behind that tiny blip of a tug boat came a great big blipping barge! Turning hard to port, I made a couple donuts in the foggy Eugenia Channel. Not until after that tug, its mile-long tow cable and big barge had all passed safely to the west did I breathe a sigh and continue north.

That’s how I learned that “remolcador” means: a tug boat that’s probably towing Just because yacht insurers allow your boat to enter Mexican waters on November 1 something, so don’t try to sail through its doesn’t mean you should do so. Consider waiting for the early birds to get past the tow line. bottle-neck stops like Turtle Bay. 4. Before departure, do sea trial your (a.) boat and (b.) crew by running non-stop for 36 hours, even if it’s just over difficult and not always available inside overnights. Plan to NOT stop the boat the horizon and run in circles.

Otherwise, you’ll even in fair weather the geography of your boat’s optimum slow-cruise speed, need to run 420 n.m. from Turtle Bay to the Pacific side of Baja provides only a because south of Ensenada’s marinas get fuel at Cabo San Lucas. few relatively safe overnight anchorages: and fuel docks, it’s 315 n.m. to the first (b.)

LOCAL The Ocean Institute Announces Stoked on Science Conferences DANA POINT— The Ocean Institute in

Dana Point has announced the upcoming Stoked on Science conferences. These annual events, tailored for middle and high school students, offer a unique opportunity for young minds to explore the wonders of ocean science and potential careers in the field.

• The middle school conference will take place on Nov. 4.

• The high school conference will take place on Nov. 5.

At each conference, students will be privileged to work side by side with leading scientists who will share their expertise. These experts will guide the students in small groups, utilizing the Ocean Institute’s labs and the research vessel Sea Explorer. The goal is to provide an immersive learning experience that sparks enthusiasm for ocean science and its career possibilities.

Over the years, the Stoked on Science conferences have hosted distinguished scientists from various fields, including marine veterinary medicine, oceanography, marine biology, education, conservation, engineering, ecology, microbiology, physiology, and climatology. This year, we are thrilled to integrate speakers with non-traditional career paths within ocean-based industries, showcasing the breadth of opportunities within the field.

The conferences are driven by a volunteer committee of high school students who have previously attended the event. This year, Valerie Kwa, a senior at Capistrano Valley High School, is among the enthusiastic committee members. She describes the conferences as “life-changing” and is excited to share the Ocean Institute’s incredible opportunities.

STATE/NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL Delayed Recreational and Commercial Spiny Lobster Fisheries are now open Los Angeles and Orange Counties California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director Charlton H. Bonham issued a declaration to repeal the delay and open the recreational and commercial spiny lobster fisheries off Los Angeles and Orange counties following a recommendation from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Based on samples examined by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), OEHHA de-

termined that the consumption of spiny lobster in these areas no longer poses a significant threat for domoic acid exposure. In addition, CDPH has lifted a health advisory for spiny lobster that was in place for neighboring areas.

The recreational spiny lobster fishery opened again on Oct. 13 in the previously delayed area between the Abalone Cove State Marine Conservation Area and the westernmost point of the Long Beach Breakwater. After this date, recreational lobster fishing will be open without advisories in all portions of the state, regularly open to divers and hoop netters.

Samples of spiny lobster collected on Oct. 2 and 9 indicated that all domoic acid levels were below the federal action level of ≥20 parts per million.

More information on recreational spiny lobster fishing regulations can be found on CDFW’s recreational lobster fishing webpage.

Coast Guard Cutter Crews Conduct First HighSeas Boardings off the Coast of Peru, Under new SPRFMO Measure ALAMEDA— The crews of the Coast Guard

Cutters Alder, Terrell Horne, and an HC-130 Hercules aircraft recently completed the first high-seas boardings and inspections in the Eastern Pacific Ocean under a newly adopted conservation and management measure to monitor and inspect fishing and transshipment operations at-sea in the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO) Convention Area.

As part of Operation Southern Shield, the Coast Guard conducted boardings and overflights within the SPRFMO Convention Area on the high seas off the coast of Peru. For years, the Coast Guard has executed counter-illegal, unreported, or unregulated (IUU) fishing operations and participated in high seas boarding inspections (HSBI) around the globe.

This operation was significant as it was timed to implement newly adopted rules in the SPRFMO Convention Area, which comprises nearly a quarter of the Earth’s high seas. The SPRFMO Commission consists of 17 members from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania and two cooperating non-contracting parties. The primary species targeted in the Convention area are jack mackerel and jumbo flying squid.

Just before Operation Southern Shield, the Coast Guard participated in GALAPEX 2023, a recurring joint and multinational exercise hosted by Ecuador and executed near the Galapagos Islands.

The Coast Guard conducted communications exercises, practiced counter-narcotics boarding scenarios, and hosted obser vers from Peru, Ecuador, and

Brazil. GALAPEX culminated with fullscale exercises focused on a coordinated multinational response to counter IUU fishing. After the exercise, the Coast Guard patrolled south to concentrate on high-seas boarding inspections off the coast of Peru. “ The U.S. Coast Guard remains committed to conducting combined maritime operations and exercises throughout the Eastern Pacific and will continue to capitalize on every opportunity to work with, learn from, and coordinate through our partners,” said Capt.

James O’Mara, Chief of Enforcement for Coast Guard 11th District, in a press release. “The relationships our services build while planning and executing these operations are essential. The logistics required to enable these operations are significant, and it only happens with the tremendous support of partners like Ecuador and Peru.”

IUU fishing has replaced piracy as the leading global maritime security threat.

Areas out on the high seas, beyond any country’s exclusive economic zone, can be exploited by fishermen engaged in IUU fishing, as they fish beyond the reach of most law enforcement entities. The Coast Guard’s actions provide inspection presence on the high seas among a distant water fishing fleet of more than 400 fishing and transshipment vessels.

Much of the fishing in the Eastern Pacific is accomplished by these distant water fishing vessels, some of which remain at sea for years and many of which are supported by transshipment vessels. The Coast Guard’s recent operation directly supported Central and South American partners and their desire to monitor and expand maritime domain awareness of fishing activity near their exclusive economic zones.

Each day during the operation, a Coast Guard C-130 aircraft flew sorties over the fishing fleet on the high seas with observers from the Peruvian Navy and Air Force. The Coast Guard Cutter Terrell Horne crew also diverted to assist the Peruvian Navy in a search and rescue operation. The Terrell Horne located the vessel and transported an injured fisherman back to shore to receive further medical care from local Peruvian officials.

“The U.S. Coast Guard is committed to working with our allies and partners to strengthen the international fisheries enforcement reg ime a nd stop the pervasive IUU fishing threat,” said Rear Adm. Andrew Sugimoto, commander of Coast Guard 11th District, in the press release. “Operation Southern Shield is just the latest example of that commitment, and we will continue to model and support rules-based order. We applaud the SPRFMO Commission for adopting these latest inspection guidelines and hope to see additional management measures adopted in the future to ensure the sustainability of our ocean resources.

Last year we operated off the Galapagos, this year off the coast of Peru, and we will continue to deploy aircraft, cutters, and personnel to support our partners and monitor these distant water fleets

wherever they roam. These operations help bring like-minded countries closer together to protect vulnerable fish stocks, support the economic stability of coastal nations, the livelihoods of small-scale and artisanal fishermen, and safeguard ocean resources that fuel global populations and economies.”

McGuire’s Offshore Wind Expediting Act Signed

by Governor Newsom SB 286 creates a national model to get green energy approved faster and help end our reliance on fossil fuels.

S AC R A M E N T O — S e n a t e P r e s i d e n t Designee Mike McGuire’s legislation to expedite offshore wind development to help meet California’s long-term electricity demand and nation-leading climate goals has been signed into law by Governor Newsom.

“Today’s action by Governor Newsom ensures California will move with speed and precision to deploy offshore wind,” said McGuire in a news release from Oct. 7. “The signing of SB 286 shows the Golden State is serious about bringing on desperately needed new renewable power generation and meeting the state’s nation-leading climate goals and energy needs. This bill will expedite the stateside offshore wind permitting process eliminating a staggering 5 years off of the permitting timeline all while protecting California’s coastal environment and storied fishing fleet. The quicker we get offshore wind infrastructure built off the Golden State’s Coast, the faster we’ll get family sustaining jobs propped up and moving.”

SB 286 – the Offshore Wind Expediting Act – will accelerate the offshore wind permitting process through the State Coastal Commission and State Lands Commission. Concurrently, it will ensure environmental safeguards remain in place, California’s storied fishing fleet interests are protected and will advance resources that benefit communities and develop family-sustaining jobs through career training programs.

In addition to the streamlining, for the first time, SB 286 mandates state agencies and key stakeholders to collaborate and develop the long-term game plan to deploy offshore wind infrastructure off the California coast.

SB 286 requires the Coastal Commission to bring the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the State Lands Commission, the Ocean Protection Council, representatives from the commercial fishing industry, representatives from the offshore wind industry, federal agencies, labor, Native American tribes, and other community leaders together over the next two years. This working group will create a statewide standard to ensure offshore wind development is expedited and develop data-driven strategies to avoid and minimize impacts to ocean fisheries and mitigate effects to the Please see NEWS BRIEFS, PAGE 15

Taiga Motors Makes Waves with Orca Performance Electric PWC

How would it feel to have no more trips to the gas station? Off-road electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Taiga Motors Corporation announced the launch of its newest model, Orca Performance, marking a significant milestone in the marine industry. Orca Performance is Taiga’s latest model, designed to offer zero emissions, zero noise, and zero smell, and follows on from the limited-edition Orca Carbon (the world’s very first mass-produced 100% electric PWC).

After more than six years of research and development and cutting-edge engineering, Taiga has presented its revolutionary 100% electric PWC with a starting price of $19,490, making high-performance more accessible to a new wave of watersport enthusiasts.

“Orca Performance stands as a true game-changer,” said Samuel Bruneau, CEO and co-founder of Taiga, in a press release. “This groundbreaking model

Orca Performance is easy to recharge, either overnight on a 100-110V outlet with the included mobile connector, or in around three and a half hours using Level 2 chargers (which are similar to those used for electric cars). DC fast charging is also available by adding the optional CCS1 combo to the vehicle configuration at the time of ordering, which charges the battery to 80% in around 40 minutes.

With a full charge, riders can enjoy two hours of play on the water.

Orca Performance, Taiga says, represents a paradigm shift redefining the personal watercraft from one of the most polluting recreational boats to a fully electric model delivering segment-leading performance, silent operation and zero emissions at reduced lifetime operating costs.

A fully closed loop powertrain system, designed for Taiga snowmobiles, not only ensures that no pollutants are introduced to the water, but also means no special winterization is required. A fully closedloop powertrain system, also known as a closed-loop control system, provides feedback from the system’s output, which regulates and controls its operation. In the context of a powertrain, which typically refers to the components responsible for generating and transmitting power in a vehicle, a fully closed-loop powertrain system uses feedback to optimize performance, efficiency, and emissions. The auxiliary systems have an extremely low parasitic drain, so the vehicle can be left unplugged for up to three years without draining the battery.

Orca Performance silently powers through the water, unheard from the shoreline and up to 30 dB1 quieter than gas watercraft. Advanced motor controls enable the industr y’s first adaptive impeller slowing rotation when the watercraft jumps into the air for greater efficiency, further reducing noise levels.

Although Taiga Motors is a Canadian company, products are available in the U.S. “Taiga operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer model, meaning customers in California can purchase their vehicles directly from Taiga’s website, w ith Taiga Service Providers (TSPs) acting

as their local points of contact,” said Wissal El A laoui, Public Relations Manager of Taiga Motors. “Our local TSP in California is H&H Marine, located at 10685 Roselle St. San Diego, CA, 92121.

Equipped w ith the necessar y tools, p a r t s , a c c e s s or ie s , a nd tra ining, TSPs can handle delivery, perform pre-delivery inspections (PDIs) and provide after-sales service to assist customers through the ownership of their new watercraft. Taiga’s 100% electric vehicles require low maintenance, most of which can be delivered through remote service and Over-theAir (OTA) updates, customers appreciate having a local point of contact for any after-sales need or maintenance.”

The new Orca Performance is a leap forward with an innovative new hull and battery and electric propulsion technology that enhances manufacturing efficiency with cutting-edge automation.

The watercraft hull utilizes advanced high-pressure molded fiber-reinforced composites developed over the past three years and built in Canada. The precision-molded hull has been hydrodynamically optimized, balancing playful carving and efficient cruising across varied conditions. This is coupled with a low center of gravity from the battery below the waterline, delivering leading stability in cornering conditions.

The new Taiga battery generation is a major advancement in part integration (removing more than 700 parts) for streamlined automated manufacturing.

The sealed lithium-ion battery has been optimized from a clean sheet to safely deliver maximum power across its lifetime under high vibrations and saltwater environments, providing energy for up to two hours of riding. Using standard automotive charging systems, Orca Per-

formance can be easily charged with the included mobile connector overnight at any outlet – level 2 chargers in 3.5 hours or on optional DC Fast Charging to 80% in less than 40 minutes.

Orca Performance is powered by Taiga’s sixth generation integrated motor-inverter Tractive Unit, delivering greater efficiency up to 120kW, 170Nm of torque and a maximum speed of 9,000rpm. The Tractive Unit offers peak torque across an ultrawide torque band and millisecond response time for precise and exhilarating acceleration at any speed.

Taiga’s integrated hardware and software technology stack enables unprecedented control in fine-tuning the Tractive Unit, battery and vehicle systems that adjust and shift in response to the watercraft.

Every Taiga vehicle is LTE equipped (along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) to receive OTA updates. The updates can remotely adjust systems in the vehicle to the user interface, release new features and provide insights for preventative maintenance. Functionality is further enhanced by the Taiga mobile application, launching on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, providing easy access to the charging set-up, among other features.

51st Annual Marine Recreation Association Educational Conference Summarized By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS L A J O LL A — The 51st Annual Marine

Re cre at ion A s soc iat ion (MR A) Educational Conference & Trade Show event, which was open to marina owners and operators, took place Oct. 16-18 at Torrey Pines in La Jolla to provide insight on marine industry issues. The most controversial topic discussed was California Assembly Bill 525 (2021) and the creation of offshore windmill farms along the coast.

Mike Conroy, the West Coast director of the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA), discussed the current state of affairs regarding offshore wind energy facilities along the California coast.

Conroy reviewed the potential impacts of AB 525, which tasked the California Energy Commission with developing a strategic plan for offshore wind energy developments installed off the California coast in federal waters. The goal of the initiative, to produce more than 25,000 gigawatts of wind-generated power by 2045, would result in roughly 3,000 square miles of California’s coastal ocean being assigned to wind farm development.

Benefits of the plan were discussed, including having additional clean energy sources that are renewable and sustainable, and reducing land use conflicts. Still, concerns were also shared, regarding environmental impacts, visually intrusive turbines, interference with maritime navigation, the effects on fisheries, disruption of whale migration and costs.

In addition to the discussion of offshore wind farms, Beau Biller, a lobbyist for Platinum Advisors, Jerry Desmond, director of government relations for the Recreational Boaters of California (RBOC), and Mark Smith, founder of Smith Policy Group, covered California and national legislative updates and the legislative process.

The three discussed AB525, AB3, AB 1373, AB 80, and Senate bills 286 and 605. SB 286 was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 7 and will become law on Jan. 1, 2024. The bill will accelerate the offshore wind permitting process through the state’s Coastal Commission

Marina Amenities and State Lands Commission.

Additional speakers included Dr. Jon Haveman, executive director of the National Economic Education Delegation, who presented an economic forecast to help attendees better understand the economic environment in which they are doing business. In addition to inflation and the prospects for recession, Haveman discussed income growth, employment growth, interest rates and various other economic indicators. Seminars continued throughout the day to address the statistics, market trends and transformative potential within the coastal marina industry.

The event celebrated achievements within the industry, addressed controversial topics, offered networking opportunities and presented nearly 30 exhibitors with space to discuss the marine sector with like-minded peers.

Marine Group Boat Works Invests in Innovative Equipment to Modernize San Diego Shipyard

CH U L A V I S TA — Marine Group Boat

Works (MGBW) announced it is launching a multi-million dollar modernization project at its 15-acre shipbuilding and repair facility on San Diego Bay in Chula Vista. The focus of the project will be the addition of a new state-of-the-art mobile boat lift, the only sideways-crawling travel lift on the West Coast and the largest in the U.S.

MGBW has contracted with Cimolai Technology, based in Veneto, Italy, to custom-build a new 820-T Mobile Telescopic Boat Hoist that will combine two essential benefits – mega-capacity and flexibility.

The giant lift will be able to haul a superyacht out of the water and transport it forward, backward and sideways on wheels that can turn 90 degrees. Another key feature of the machine is its variable width, allowing the crane to expand up to 18.5 feet or collapse for vessels with smaller beams. The powerful machine also will include a Tier 4 low-emission power source.

Tier 4 is a classification used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate emissions from non-road diesel engines. The Tier 4 standards aim to significantly reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel engines.

The new versatility provided by the lift will allow MGBW to make more efficient use of its one-million-square-foot facility by optimizing the space between vessels when blocked on shore. The build-out in Chula Vista is expected to take 12 months, with delivery in Fall 2024.

This is the second significant investment in expandable lift equipment MGBW has made in 2023. In April, the firm announced it had purchased a 75-T Marine Travelift to increase capacity at its yacht repair and dry-dock facility in Los Cabos, Mexico. MGBW was among the first shipyard facilities in Mexico to experiment with this innovative new design. The investment has allowed the company to overcome space constraints and meet increased demand for regional repairs. MGBW is bringing this proven concept to San Diego on a much larger scale.

The high-capacity lifts needed to haul out large vessels like superyachts typically take up much valuable real estate within

a shipyard – the flexibilit y of the 820 -T Mobile Telescopic Boat Hoist will help with this problem. When vessels are blocked in the yard, the spacing between them is deter mined by the overall width of the lift, not the boats.

With sta nda rd boat lifts, the width is fixed, locking the operators into a larger footprint even when it is not required for a specific craft. This wasted space results in lost dry-docking capacit y for the shipyard, creating a backlog of boats waiting for an open slot and significant scheduling disruptions – particularly in the busy off-season – that can force work to be turned away.

When the 820-ton lift arrives at MGBW in San Diego, it will be one of the U.S. market’s largest and most innovative machines. It will replace a 660-ton Marine Travelift that MGBW purchased in 2007, which was featured on The History Channel’s “Modern Marvels” series as the single largest lift of its kind at the time.

MGBW’s boatyard modernization project plans are currently in environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQ A). The state law was enacted in 1970 with the primary goal of enhancing and protecting the quality of the environment.

CEQA requires state and local agencies to identify the environmental impacts of proposed projects and take steps to avoid or mitigate those impacts wherever feasible.

In addition to the new boat lift, the construction project will include the largest solar panel installation on the San Diego waterfront, which will provide 500 kilowatts of renewable energy to power yard equipment and supply shore power to docked boats. The project also will include replacing and reconfiguring all docks and dredging to restore deep-water access.

The modernization project supports MGBW’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, including lowering craft emissions and reducing noise on the Chula Vista waterfront.

The facility will remain fully operational during construction, which is expected to take 10 months to complete.

MGBW was awarded a Small Shipyard Grant worth more than $1.1 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MAR AD) earlier this year. The grants aim to help shipyards modernize, increase produc-

The multi-milliondollar investment will support environmental sustainability goals and enhance capacity to serve the superyacht industry.

tivity and expand local job opportunities.

MGBW shares the Port of San Diego’s goal of being a zero-emissions boatyard and continues to lead the industry in sustainable boat repair and construction. In 2022, the company repowered its most significant piece of equipment, the 665-Ton Travelif t, w ith Tier 4 engines, which exceed state and national diesel engine emissions standards. The upgrade made MGBW’s boat lift the most environmentally friendly in the world. MGBW’s entire facility is 100% stormwater contained, with not a drop of used water entering the bay. Additionally, MBGW runs a robust recycling program, and approximately 85% of its fleet of vehicles, forklifts and manlifts are electric-powered.

The new 820-T Lift and modernization efforts will allow MGBW to operate more efficiently w ithin its existing footprint by working on additional boats simultaneously, enabling the company to have an even larger impact on the local economy.

About MGBW: Marine Group Boat Works is a family-owned, full-service maritime vessel

constr uc tion a nd repa ir compa ny founded in 1986, with two waterfront facilities on San Diego Bay and in Los Cabos, Mexico. Its largest shipyard in Chula Vista has more than 2,000 feet of dockage and a 665-ton Travelift (soon to be replaced with an 820-ton lift), rough terrain cranes, a machine shop, metalworking equipment and a propeller shop.

Its sister boatyard in San Jose del Cabo features more than 300,000 square feet of land and water, with a 150-ton and 75-ton Travelift. Since redeveloping their boatyards in 2007, MGBW has grown from 25 local employees to approximately 200 highly skilled team members comprised of ABS-certified welders, shipfitters, pipefitters, mechanics, electricians and painters between the two facilities.

MGBW’s is the only team in the world with a specialized group of cross-trained boatbuilders and re-fitters to service various vessels, from tugboats to patrol crafts to mega-yachts.

MGBW is recognized as the premier superyacht refit facility on the West Coast, with approximately one-third of its business devoted to this sector.

Keep Fish Wet Advocates for Ethical Catch and Release Practices Keep Fish Wet, a nonprofit organization, is spreading awareness and education on ethical fish-handling practices through fundraising, community involvement, and publicizing the word of proper fish handling.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

Properly handling a fish during catch and release is crucial for several reasons, all aimed at ensuring the fish’s health and survival, maintaining sustainable fish populations and preserving the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. Keep Fish Wet, a non-profit organization, is part of an angling and fisheries conservation movement and educational campaign promoting the practice of adequately handling fish to maximize their survival after catch and release. The initiative emphasizes the importance of keeping fish in the water or minimizing their time out of water to enhance their chances of survival and overall well-being.

Keep Fish Wet promotes five main practices that define its mission.

• Minimize air xposure: Reduce the time fish spend out of the water, particularly by minimizing exposure to air. Limiting air exposure helps prevent stress and injury to the fish’s gills and other vital organs.

• Keep fish submerged: Whenever

possible, keep the fish in the water while unhooking, measuring, or photographing. Avoid lifting the fish out of the water unnecessarily.

• Wet your hands: Wet your hands b e fore ha nd l i ng fi sh t o avoid removing their skin’s protective mucus layer. Dry hands can remove this layer, making fish more suscep-

tible to infections and diseases.

• H a n d l e ge n t l y : H a n d l e fi s h

carefully and gently to minimize stress and potential injuries. Avoid squeezing or applying excessive pressure on the fish. Handling a fish properly helps increase its chances of survival after release. Stress and injury during handling can weaken the fish and make it more susceptible to predation and disease. The quicker and more gently a fish is released, the better its chances of surviving and thriving post-release.

• Use appropriate gear: Use appro-

priate gear, including barbless hooks and landing nets, to minimize injury to the fish during catch and release.

• Practice catch and release respon-

sibly: Follow proper catch-and-release techniques and release fish to maximize their chances of survival.

Catch and release is a common practice to help conserve fish populations, especially for vulnerable, threatened or in-decline species. By releasing fish back into the water, anglers contribute to maintaining a healthy population and preventing overexploitation. Fish play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of aquatic ecosystems. Overfishing or mishandling fish can disrupt this balance, affecting other species and the ecosystem as a whole. Proper handling ensures that fish continue to fulfill their ecological roles in the ecosystem.

“Keep Fish Wet” is about ensuring the well-being of individual fish and contributing to the long-term sustainability of fish populations and the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. By adopting these principles and spreading awareness, anglers and fishing enthusiasts can help preserve fish populations and their habitats for future generations.

GetMyBoat Released Its 2023 “Most Popular Boating Cities” Report

GetMyBoat, an online marketplace specializing in putting boat owners in contact with boat enthusiasts, has published its top boating destination rankings, and San Diego has taken third place. “The Most Popular Boating Cities in 2023” report showcases the allure of boating and unveils the intricate tapestry of regional differences that shape the boating landscape. After analyzing more than 100,000 boat rentals in the U.S. over the past year on its platform, GetMyBoat curated data to create its inaugural list of 75 cities.

While Miami was awarded the number one boating city title, six California cities made the top 25, and ten total cities made the list of 75. San Diego came in third, Marina del Rey in fifth, Newport Beach ranked sixth, South Lake Tahoe came in twelfth, Long Beach came in thirteenth, and Sausalito came in twenty-fourth. Los Vegas came in seventy-fifth.

One of the most fascinating insights from the data report is the staggering contrast in boating experi-

ences across the United States. Each of the 25 cities featured on the list, from the beaches of Miami, Florida, to the tranquility of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, offers a distinctive and specific boating adventure. These experiences are influenced by each city’s unique geography, climate, and local culture, creating a rich tapestry of boating diversity.

To develop this report, GetMyBoat analyzed over 100,000 boat rentals in the United States over the past year on the GetMyBoat platform. Data was curated to exclude outlier hourly rates and locations with insignificant sample sizes, while rentals were categorized into the significant categories to be evaluated in this report. Rentals outside of the report categories are labeled as “Other.”

Riders can select operating modes from the handlebars, control jet pump trim actuation and monitor live parameters on the 7-inch HD display. Orca Performance has three default user-selectable ride modes, including Range Mode for efficient cruising, Sport Mode for playful carving and Wild Mode for fastest throttle response and maximum performance.

Adjusting the trim levels at the push of a button shifts riding dynamics from a playful to a more aggressive ride.

Unique to the Orca platform, the watercraft seamlessly switches impeller direction to provide braking thrust and reverse, foregoing the need for an additional nozzle. Reversing the impeller also enables the clearing of seaweed and debris that could be sucked into the intake.

“We take great pride in bringing this new innovation to the market, and in making it more accessible, especially in an industry where electrification presented significant challenges that not everyone was willing to undertake,” said Bruneau.

“We will continue pushing technological boundaries that others shy away (from) to deliver the best possible electric products for accelerated electrification.”

According to the U.S. Superyacht Association, big boats also mean big business for the local economy. One 180-foot vessel generates more than $4 million in expenditures each year, including $1.4 million in maintenance and repairs, $400,000 in fuel, $350,000 in dockage and port fees and $110,000 in food and beverage provisioning, with $250,000 injected into the local economy by guests and crew.

MGBW estimates its local economic impact at $1.2 billion in the last five years, from 2018-2022. In 2022 alone, the company spent more than $4.7 million with Chula Vista-based businesses and an additional $2.3 million with businesses in the greater South Bay region.

Catalina Connection Catalina Island Conservancy Plans ‘Lethal Removal’ of Mule Deer Population to Save Island’s Native Species C ATALINA ISL AND — Catalina Island’s mule deer population is taking a toll on the island’s ecosystem, and officials have proposed a drastic new plan to help save the island’s native animal and plant species. The deer, introduced to the island in the early 1920s for hunting purposes, have since seen their numbers swell to nearly 2,000. California’s Fish and Wildlife staff are reviewing the Catalina Island Conservancy’s permit application, which includes a plan to kill the island’s mule deer population.

The conservancy recently announced the new Catalina Island Restoration Project, an ambitious plan at the core of the conservancy’s mission to foster a resilient and healthy island for the future.

According to the conservancy’s website, the restoration project is a “three-prong” approach to: • Restore the local habitat • Restore native and endemic plants • Species management, including the removal of non-native plants and wildlife.

According to the conservancy, the deer are destroying native plants and habitats by trampling and obliterating them, and without a natural predator, their population has grown exponentially. The deer also contribute to vegetation destruction and soil erosion, threatening the endemic and at-risk species on the island, including the Catalina Island Fox, the Catalina California Quail, the Santa Catalina Island Shrew and other unique animals and plants found only on Catalina.

The “lethal removal” of the deer would begin in late 2024. According to the Los Angeles Times, the plan put forward by the conservancy would rely on “helicopter-mounted sharpshooters” from White Buffalo, Inc. to kill the invasive deer.

The technique has led to backlash. A person posted on the Catalina Islander website that they would cancel his conservancy membership if the deer removal goes forward.

On Oct. 12, an online petition against

the proposal called Stop the Slaughter of Mule Deer on Catalina Island was created by a group called Coalition Against the Slaughter of Catalina Deer. The group had gathered over 10,000 signatures as of Oct. 18.

“There are several areas of concern that we, as citizens of the state of California, urge the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to consider sufficient to deny the current application…” according to the petition. “These include, but are not limited to, questions about scientific integrity, cultural relativity, humane considerations, and our legal rights…to be a greater part of the process.”

“The situation has become untenable for the deer and for the island’s ecology, leaving the island at a tipping point,” said the conservancy in a statement on its website. “After consulting with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, it has been determined that a strategic deer management program is required to implement the overall plan to revive the island’s ecosystem.”

The mule deer on Catalina Island were introduced to the island in the early 20th century, which has led to challenges related to their impact on the island’s ecosystem as the deer population grew and began to affect native vegetation and habitats.

Catalina residents have said that they don’t want the deer to disappear. Still, the conservancy has come to the conclusion that the only good number of deer in Catalina is zero.

It is legal to hunt on Catalina Island as long as all requirements are met, and that includes deer. Hunters must notify the conservancy no later than two days after harvest and return tags no later than five days after harvest.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

White Sturgeon Harvest Reduced for the 2023-2024 Season The California Fish and Game Commission enacted emergency regulations on Oct. 11 to reduce the harvest of white sturgeon in state waters. The new rules will reduce the number of fish that can be kept to one per year, reduce the slot limit to 42-48 inches, cap the number of white sturgeon that can be possessed on a vessel at two per day and add seasonal closures to sturgeon fishing in key spawning areas. The new regulations are expected to go into effect in late October or early November following approval by the Office of Administrative Law. The commission enacted the new regulations following a joint recommendation by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and angling groups. The emergency action was taken in response to long-term declines in adult white sturgeon populations and impacts of a harmful algal bloom (HAB) in the summer of 2022.

“It w a s a d i ffic u lt de c i sion t o recommend restrictions to another fishery in California,” said CDFW Fisheries Branch Chief Jay Rowan. “The angling community representatives really stepped up by offering deep concessions to help reduce sturgeon harvest and showed, yet again, that they are committed to protecting this resource.”

There are two sturgeon species in California, green sturgeon and white sturgeon. Green sturgeon are listed as a threatened species under the Federal Endangered Species Act. White sturgeon are listed in California as a Species of Special Concern.

Sturgeon is one of the oldest fish, with fossil records dating back more than 200 million years. Individual white sturgeon can live about 100 years and not start spawning until approximately 14 to 19 years old. Scientists estimate that white sturgeon in the Central Valley only spawn successfully every six to seven years. White sturgeon abundance has declined significantly from approximate-

ly 200,000 harvestable fish in 1997 to around 33,000, based on the recent five-year average.

Sturgeon fisheries in California have closed multiple times due to overharvest.

“L i ke ot her long-l ive d fish that spawn infrequently, sturgeon are susceptible to population declines due to var ious env ironmenta l stressors and overharvest,” said Rowan.

Dur ing the summer of 2022, a H A B in the Sa n Francisco and San Pablo bays caused the death of tens of thousands of fish, including at least 864 sturgeon. Most sturgeon experts believe there were likely thousands more killed during the HAB, but they sank to the bottom of the bays and were not counted.

Though harvests will be reduced to one white sturgeon for 2023 and 2024, catchand-release fishing for white sturgeon still will be allowed with a valid sturgeon report card after one sturgeon is kept except for closures outlined in California Code of Regulations, title 14, sections 5.80 and 27.95.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and partners have confirmed the presence of New Zealand mudsnails (NZMS) at Warm Springs Fish Hatchery near Lake Sonoma, nearly 240 miles west of Lake Tahoe, which had confirmed the presence of mudsnails only 22 days prior. While the species has been detected in other segments of the watershed, this is the first confirmed detection at Warm Springs Hatchery.

D u r i ng a r e g u l a rl y s c he du le d quarterly hatchery survey this summer, the mudsnails were detected in an intake pipeline and aeration pond. Since then, scientists have surveyed about 75% of Coho-bearing streams in the watershed and have not observed their presence beyond previously known locations.

Wa r m Spr ings Hat cher y operat es production and release programs for Coho salmon (a federal and state-listed endangered species) and steelhead (federally listed threatened species).

The mudsnail surveys have focused on stocking locations for these fish species, conducted mainly in Russian River tributaries in the lower basin.

“The detection levels so far have not been alarming, but we want to do everything we can to minimize the spread,” said CDFW North Central Regional Manager Morgan Kilgour.

Dense populations of the mudsnails can displace and out-compete native species; they may consume up to half of the food resources in a stream and have been linked to reduced populations of aquatic insects, including mayflies, caddisflies, chironomids and other insects

Santa Maria Bay and nearby Magdalena Bay. Many boats need to make three or four overnight runs to get down Baja.

I normally schedule a crew of three experienced watch standers to operate the moving boat “four hours on, eight hours off.” Off-watch crew needs to sleep during the day, so each person will be alert for their night watch.

This sea trial also reveals folks with undiagnosed Thalassophobia, a terror that strikes only when they sail beyond the sight of land. Even veteran coastal cruisers can be surprised by this issue, and you’ll need to make three offshore passages while migrating down Baja.

5. Communications. Most of Pacific Baja’s coastal waters have the worst cell phone coverage. After the border areas of Tijuana, Ensenada and Maneadero, cell towers are few and far between. Then Isla Cedros, parts of Turtle Bay and Asuncion are good, then zero down Mag Bay. Zero again until you reach Los Cabos.

In the Sea of Cortez and mainland,

vital to trout and salmon.

Inv a sive Ne w Zealand mudsnails were first discovere d i n C a l i for nia in 2000 in the Owens River.

The species wa s believed to have been introduced to western rivers through shipments of live spor tfish, but subsequent spread is likely due to recreational activities. Dry Creek fl o w s b y Wa r m Springs Hatchery and ha s prev iously been identified as positive for the mudsnails.

The source of the recent detections is unknown, but it is suspected that the snails came to the hatchery via its source, Lake Sonoma.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates the Russian River C oho Sa lmon Capt ive Brood st ock Program at Warm Springs Fish Hatchery and contracts with CDFW to operate its steelhead program. In addition to the surveys, the state has increased biosecurity measures at the hatchery.

The hatchery will continue to operate its Coho and steelhead programs. CDFW is working with USACE and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOA A), which permits the hatchery, to determine if any changes in when you’re near a tower, many U.S. iphones with AT&T and Verizon programs work well. The primary Mexican cell company, TelCel, sells iphones and also a signal booster that’s popular aboard cruising boats for improving voice and limited data.

But I think the best keep-it-simple solution is Garmin’s InReach, a hand-held satellite gizmo. It lets you text and email to and from any phone, tracks your GPS position worldwide, can send Mom a daily/weekly location report. You can download targeted weather forecasts, and it can emit an SOS to get you help.

How’s it work? You buy the gizmo and subscribe at whichever level meets your voyaging and budget needs. Set the gizmo in your pilothouse window so its stubby antenna has at least a 180° view.

Or carry it ashore in your pocket. It’s chargeable like a cell phone with USB. Full disclosure: My husband and I have an InReach Explorer and we pause our monthly Freedom Unlimited plan whenever we don’t need it.

We wish you success as you southbound down Baja. Buen Viaje!

Coho release protocols are needed given the detections.

“NOA A Fisheries fully suppor ts CDF W and the USACE’s effor ts to minimize the risk of further spread of aquatic invasive species such as NZMS within the Russian River and other watersheds that provide critical habitat for listed salmon and steelhead,” said Robert Coey, north central coast supervisor in NOAA Fisheries’ West Coast region.

Boaters, anglers, and others who visit the Russian River watershed are asked to decontaminate equipment and follow the “clean, drain and dry” directive with all equipment used in the river:

• If you wade, freeze waders and other gear overnight (at least six hours).

• After leaving the water, inspect

waders, boots, float tubes, boat trailers or any gear used in the water.

• Remove any visible snails with a stiff brush and follow with rinsing.

If possible, freeze or completely dry out any wet gear.

• Never transport live fish or other aquatic plants or animals from one water body to another.

san diego fish report BLUEFIN, YELLOWFIN, DORADO, YELLOWTAIL, SKIPJACK AND STRIPED MARLIN CONTINUE TO KEEP OFFSHORE ANGLERS SMILING!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com

We are getting late into the month of October and are experiencing our first northern weather system of the fall season but so far the weather system has been relatively mild. Before the weather system arrived there was good to very good offshore fishing for a mix of bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado, yellowtail, skipjack and striped marlin. I am thinking that the weather system we are experiencing is not powerful enough to send these fish away to look for warmer waters for the winter months but time will tell.

The areas producing the mix of bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado, yellowtail and skipjack range from the Catalina region on down to San Diego and include banks such as the 289 Spot, the 181 Spot, the 138 Spot, the area ranging from 3 to 12 miles northeast over to southeast of Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island, the 43 Fathom Spot, the 182 Spot, the Corner, the 224 Spot and the 302 Spot. The bluefin tuna in these areas have mostly been in the 20 to 80 pound range and most of the yellowfin tuna have been in the 15 to 40 pound range.

Some of the better sportboat and private boat trips to the areas mentioned in the paragraph above have been posting mixed bag catches that can include near limit to limit catches of bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna and dorado. A recent overnight trip aboard Producer out of H&M Landing had 28 anglers catch 140 yellowfin tuna, 9 dorado, 1 skipjack and 1 bluefin tuna. A recent full day trip aboard San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 33 anglers catch 51 bluefin tuna and 7 dorado.

Those w ishing to target larger bluefin to 200-plus pounds with less available in the way of dorado, skipjack and yellowfin tuna activity have had varied success while fishing around the Cortes and Tanner Banks. It will be interesting to see the effect of the current weather system on the bluefin fishing out

at the Cortes and Tanner Banks. It has been rough weather out by the Cortes and Tanner Banks with Small Craft Advisories being posted in recent days and I know of no trips fishing those banks during this stretch of rough weather.

Kelp paddies, porpoise schools, trolling strikes, spots of breaking fish, spots of breezing fish, meter marks and sonar marks have been leading to the dorado, yellowfin, bluefin and yellowtail.

Sardines have been working well for bait along with kite fished flying fish (for big bluefin), Colt Snipers, knife jigs, poppers and surface iron. Trolling strikes are also being reported on bluefin, yellowfin and dorado with cedar plugs, feathers, Nomad Madmac jigs and spreader bar rigs all being effective.

Striped marling fishing has been slow most days but it did pick up a few days ago when 2 marlin were caught in the San Diego region from blind trolling strikes in the region of the 182 Spot.

There have also been occasional marlin sightings in the Catalina area by boats fishing the Avalon Bank, 14 Mile Bank, 267 Spot, 209 Spot and 312 Spot.

The surface fishing around Los Coronado Islands has not received much attention lately due to the good offshore fishing going on in nearby offshore waters. The most recent report comes from private boater Gary Mouritzen of Get Bent who fished in the San Diego Rod and Reel Club’s Potpourri Fishing Tournament and tried the Rockpile, the lighthouse at the south tip of South Island, the lee side of South Island, the Middle Grounds and Pukey Point. Mouritzen reported finding 66 to 68 degree water, sloppy weather conditions and nothing doing on the surface fishing. They caught a bunch of whitefish at North Island and had also caught a 5 pound sand bass at Imperial Beach that won a side jackpot in the tournament before heading over to try the fishing at Los Coronado Islands.

The bottom fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been very good for a mix of reds, rockfish and whitefish.

The best areas for the mixed bag bottom fishing have been to the northwest, north and northeast of North Island in 25 to 60 fathoms.

An important reminder to anglers fishing in United States waters is that the fishing for rockfish in Nearshore waters and the fishing for Nearshore rockfish species no matter where they are caught is currently closed. Please refer to the Department of Fish and Wildlife website for all the details about the closed areas and the closed species at www.wildlife. ca.gov.

Anglers need to know that the current closure regulations are in effect through December 31, 2023 when the usual seasonal rockfish closure will come into effect and be in effect from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024.

The fishing for rockfish has been good in areas that are outside of the current closure zones at places such as the 9 Mile Bank, South Carlsbad, Box Canyon and the 14 Mile Bank.

The rest of the fishing along the San Diego County coast has been pretty good for a mix of calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, whitefish and sheephead and there has also been improved yellowtail fishing at La Jolla.

The improved yellowtail activity has received attention and New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing has been consistently posting half-day trip catches that include 1 to 6 yellowtail per day during the past week. Look for meter marks, sonar marks and spots of breaking fish under working birds to locate yellowtail.

Seaforth Sportfishing has been suggesting including surface iron and a 40 pound test outfit within the tackle that you bring for targeting yellowtail on the half-day trips.

Productive areas for calico bass have been the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Dropoff at Point Loma, the Green Tank, La Jolla, Solana Beach, Leucadia, South Carlsbad, the Barn and San Onofre.

As the calico bass fishing at kelp bed areas has been starting to slow some in

the late part of the season, more and more boats have been fishing for sculpin, sand bass, calico bass and whitefish at hard bottom and structure spots off Imperial Beach that include the Imperial Beach Pipeline.

Captain Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reports that calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, sheephead and whitefish have been biting for them at kelp bed and hard bottom areas off South Carlsbad, Leucadia and Solana Beach. He also mentioned that some of the Oceanside Sea Center boats have been doing well fishing for rockfish in areas outside of the closure zone that are currently open to rockfish fishing.

Halibut fishing along the San Diego County coast has been producing an occasional legal sized halibut. A few of the better areas for halibut have been off Imperial Beach, San Diego Bay and at the sandy bottom next to the structure of the sunken NEL tower or the structure of the Yukon shipwreck off Mission Beach.

A good depth range off Imperial Beach has been in 37 to 50 feet and 50 feet has been a good depth off Mission Beach.

Full story will be found online. Bob Vanian is the voice, writer, and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite.com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at (619) 226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol.com.
