Gov. Gavin Newsom will decide whether or not to sign AB 912 into law. By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO—A bill proposed by Assembly member Al Muratsuchi to update the regulation of a vessel’s ballast water discharge has made it out of the state legislature and is in on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk for signature or veto. Assembly Bill 912 (AB 912) would update the Marine Invasive Species Act to define the word “land,” revise boundaries used to define the Pacific Coast Region and require anyone in charge of a vessel to maintain a record in the ballast water log book as to the safety reasons used to not maintain “a ballast water management practice.” “[AB 912] revises and recasts ballast water management law, including delaying dates by which the owner or operator of a vessel must implement interim and final performance standards (zero detectable living organisms) for the discharge of ballast water,” the most recent legislative analysis of AB 912 stated. “[AB 912 would also require] the State Lands Commission (SLC) to adopt regulations implementing federal performance standards for the discharge of ballast
water; and, authorizing the SLC to take samples of ballast water, sediment, and biofouling from arriving vessels for research purposes.” SLC would require vessels to meet ballast water discharge standards by a certain date. This would allow vessels to ultimately be in compliance with federal regulations. Implementation of interim ballast water discharge standards would be delayed until Jan. 1, 2030; final standards would be implemented by Jan. 1, 2040. Muratsuchi’s staff said the proposed law would update standards to protect state waters from non-native organisms and ensure “the ballast water discharge standards are enforceable given current technology, and that California’s standards are not preempted by federal law.” “The bill will better position California to implement ballast water discharge standards to protect California waters from invasive species introductions, update the definition of Pacific Coast Region, and make technical changes to the Marine Invasive Species Act,” Muratsuchi said. AB 912 did not have any significant or additional state costs to implement, according to the most recent legislative analysis. The Marine Invasive Species Act, according to language of AB 912, implements and administers laws

Proposal to update discharge of ballast water heads to governor
Will a proposal to update regulations of a vessel’s ballast water discharge make it passed the governor’s desk? AB 912 made it out of the State Senate and Assembly and only needs to get past the governor to become law.
“regulating the uptake or discharge of ballast water from vessels that impact marine species in the state’s waterways.” A master, operator, owner or other person in charge of a vessel carrying ballast water, under the Marine Invasive Species Act, is required to “minimize the uptake and release of nonindigenous species, including, among other things, to clean the ballast tanks regularly in mid-ocean waters, or under controlled arrangements in port or in drydock.”
Vessel masters and operators were exempt from conducting ballast water management practice if such a practice was contrary to safety, according to law on the books prior to AB 912. The new law would require all vessel masters and operators to make a record of a ballast water management practice not being maintained. AB 319 made it out of the Assembly with a 75-0 vote on Aug. 30. The State Senate voted 39-0 in favor of AB 319 on Aug. 26.

By Lindsey Welling GERMANY—A large underwater observatory has mysteriously disappeared from the Baltic Sea off the coast of Germany. The $330,000 monitoring station was used to gather scientific data and disappeared on Aug. 21. Divers were dispatched to the site after transmissions from the station came to a sudden halt. GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel and the Helmholtz Center Geesthacht manage the Boknis Eck observatory and said in a released statement that divers found only a shredded transmission cable. GEOMAR also said it appeared the sensors that take
NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD US expands hunting and fishing at national wildlife refuges BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Trump administration said Sept. 10 that it is expanding hunting and fishing in 77 national wildlife refuges in a move that critics contend is deferring management to states and could harm wildlife. The Interior Department’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said hunters and anglers can shoot and cast their rods on 2,200 square miles of federally protected land in 37 states, much of which is considered critical habitat for waterfowl

Large underwater observatory goes missing off Germany’s Baltic coast 2C the data measurements had been forcibly removed. Researchers say the observatory, composed of two racks weighing a combined 1,700 pounds, was too heavy to be swept away by a massive storm, heavy currents, or even marine animals. The observatory was in a restricted area off the northern coast of Germany where boats, including fishing vessels, are not allowed into the area, the BBC reported. According to GEOMAR, German police were alerted to the incident and are now investigating. The Boknis Eck Observatory was located about a mile off shore at the outlet of Eckernförde Bay, which is north of Kiel, Germany. Data collected at the station on

and other birds to rest and refuel during their migration. “This is the largest single effort to expand hunting and fishing access in recent history,’’ Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said last month before the changes were posted in the Federal Register. It’s the latest effort by the Trump administration to open public lands to recreation and industry, including oil and gas drilling, which critics say comes at the expense of the environment and wildlife. President Donald Trump also has scaled back two sprawling national monuments in Utah, a move that opened the lands that were cut to potential drilling and
mining. New plans for the monuments allow more grazing and recreation. Hunting and fishing will be allowed at seven national wildlife refuges for the first time and expanded at 70 others. The agency, which also now permits it at 15 national fish hatcheries, said some 5,000 regulations have been eliminated or simplified to match state rules. Conservationists said the changes went into effect without adequate environmental review. “While the Trump policy retains federal ownership, it basically eviscerates federal management,’’ said Jeff Ruch of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.“The states end

That’s a sea change from federal management for conservation and biodiversity rather than promoting hunting.’’ One of the big concerns is that state and federal officials don’t appear to have a monitoring system to see what effect the changes might have, not only on game species but those that aren’t hunted, Ruch said. Hunting groups generally supported the changes. Chief Executive Officer Adam Putnam of Ducks Unlimited, a group that works to conserve waterfowl habitat, said the changes wouldn’t harm wildlife populations. He said See NEWS BRIEFS page 10

Avalon voters will select three council members as well as mayor in the March 2020 election.
Avalon to hold special election to fill vacant council seat Voters will decide in the March 3 election who will fill the seat left vacant by Richard Hernandez’s resignation. By Lindsey Welling AVALON — Avalon will hold a special election to fill the City Council seat left vacant by Richard Hernandez’s recent resignation. The Avalon City Council voted 3-1 at its Sept. 3 meeting to pass a resolution calling for a special election. That seat will be placed on the March 3, 2020 general election ballot. City officials said they do not anticipate any extra costs from the special election. “I do not anticipate any additional cost because you already have three seats up for that election,” City Attorney Scott Campbell said at the Sept. 3 meeting. According to Campbell, the council had two options: call a special election or appoint someone to the seat. He said the council has 60 days from when the seat was vacated to decide how to fill it, or face possible litigation. Both options were weighed at the Sept. 3 meeting. Council Member Oley Olsen vocalized support for a special election, noting the next closest candidate from the last city council election was about 200 votes back. One Avalon resident raised concerns that if a special election was called, the council would be making decisions with only four members instead of five for the next six-to-seven months. Another Avalon resident asked what had changed in the past six weeks since the council decided to appoint Steve Hoefs to fill the seat vacated by the May death of Pam Albers. Former Council member Hernandez attended the meeting and echoed those thoughts,
speaking from the audience. “You guys kind of laid the foundation already,” Hernandez said at the meeting. “I don’t understand why we’re waving from it.” Things got a little heated when the same Avalon resident again asked the council to answer her question about what had changed in the past six weeks since the council decided to appoint the previous vacant seat. “I can only speak for myself in that I started every single conversation with saying that I wanted the community to be involved in whatever that decision is going to be” Council Member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy responded. She said at the time the council was mulling how to fill Albers’ seat, she could not justify the cost of a special election. City Manager Denise Radde said the county could not provide a cost estimate for a stand-alone election, but she budgeted $50,000. “The first time we made an appointment, the second time I feel we should put it out to the community and let you decide,” MacGugan-Cassidy said. MacGugan-Cassidy made a motion to call for a resolution to hold a special election to fill the vacant seat. The motion passed on a 3-1 vote, with Mayor Anni Marshall casting the no vote. Marshall said after listening to the public speak about concerns over leaving the seat vacant until March, she was supporting that. The seats held by Mayor Marshall and Council Members Oley and Hoefs are up for re-election on March 3. Hernandez has not publicly commented on his resignation, which was announced at the city council meeting on July 16. Hernandez did not cite a specific reason in his resignation letter; he simply said “it is with a strong feeling of regret I find that for personal reasons I must submit this letter of resignation.”

Letters/Online Comments RE:“To Dock or Not To Dock: Sheriff’s Authority Still Unclear” (Aug. 9-22) The Log, as usual, seems to leave out the section(s) (information) that do not support their agenda. After reading your digital edition and doing a little research, I easily found the below information. This is the rest of section 2-2-31. “The powers and duties of the Director set forth in this section 2-2-31 and elsewhere in this division, and each of said duties, unless otherwise expressly provided, may be performed by the Director, or by any other designated County employee, agent or independent contractor directed or authorized by the Director or the Board to exercise any of said powers or perform any of said duties.” And don’t forget this one. Sec. 2-2-134. – Maintenance of facilities. Public piers and other harbor facilities may be maintained by the county for the purpose of loading and unloading passengers, supplies and boating gear and for similar purposes. It is the policy of the county to maintain such facilities in a manner that will
BW permit the greatest public use and avoid continuous occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof. Where necessary to achieve public use and avoid extended occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof, the director is authorized and directed to post signs limiting the time during which a vessel may be docked or supplies or gear may be placed at or on any such pier or facility. When such sign is in place giving notice of such time limit, no person shall dock a vessel at any such facility for a period of time longer than posted or permit any supplies or gear to remain on such facility for a period of time longer than posted. The Sheriff’s Department has managed those docks and has enforced the laws in all three Orange County harbors since they took over the Harbor Patrol duties in 1975. Both of these are duties of the Director of OC Parks, which have been delegated to the Sheriff’s Department for the last 44 years. By the way, the dingy dock hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., the same as the adjacent county beach. Concerned Boater Much ado over a clear lack of

Newport Beach Docks (again): Who is “Concerned Boater”? The alias comments regularly on The Log’s stories; the user neither confirms or denies direct questions of whether he or she is affiliated with the Sheriff’s Department. By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH—Surprise, surprise – The Log was accused of having an agenda. Allegations of reporting with a bias or agenda are common in this business. We were most recently accused of having an agenda in one of our Standing Watch columns. The column was about Lt. Christopher Corn’s actions to reduce the amount of time available for public dock use at Newport Beach Harbor from 72 hours to 20 minutes. A user who identified him/herself as “Concerned Boater” outright stated The Log had an agenda in its coverage of the public docks matter at Newport Beach Harbor. The Log has, indeed, consistently been covering the use of
public docks at Newport Beach Harbor, specifically the change in time for use from 72 hours to 20 minutes. The Log’s reporting, most recently, has been trying to determine whether Corn, as a law enforcement officer, had the sole authority to change the use time, without first consulting with or receiving a directive from county staff or policymakers. “Concerned Boater” posted the first comment on the article online on Aug. 29, and it read: See STANDING WATCH page 9

by J.R. Johnson ST. PETERSBURG, Russia—The Log featured Royal Cork Yacht Club in its Sept. 22-Oct. 6, 2017 issue. Royal Cork, which opened its doors in 1720, claims to be the world’s oldest standing yacht club. It would seem, however, another yacht club could claim to be the world’s first-ever yacht club: Nevsky Flot, or Nevskaya Flotilla. Peter the Great founded Nevsky Flot in 1718, with 141 boats. The club, which was founded to “entertain people” in perpetuity, ceased to exist when Peter the Great died in 1725. Nevsky Flot remained dormant until 1892, when a Navy initiative led to the creation of Nevsky Yacht Club. There were several yacht clubs founded before and after the second coming of Nevsky Flot, which is located in St. Petersburg. Imperial St. Petersburg Yacht Club, for example, opened its doors in 1846, with 19 members and five sailing yachts. The club was only open to noblemen. Gavanskoe Yacht Society was founded in 1902 and Strelninsky Yacht Club was created in 1909. Petrograd Sea Yacht Club came to life in 1914, in the vein of Gavanscoe Yacht Society.
The year 1917 witnessed the birth of Sea Youth Association. St. Petersburg was home to more than 20 yacht clubs during the first two decades of the 20th Century. There was even an attempt, in 1912, to create a unified yachting society and bring together all Russian yacht clubs under one banner. Such efforts, however, dissipated by 1918 and yacht clubs in general were no longer much of a thing by 1924. Russian yacht clubs did make a comeback in the 1970s, in the lead up to the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow. Fast-forward to the 21st Century and you’ll find yacht clubs in St. Petersburg yet again. Central Yacht Club, which was founded in 1846, moved into a new building in 1980. Also present in St. Petersburg are Navy Yacht Club (1954) and Kirovets Yacht Club (traces its history to Strelninsky Yacht Club). But Nevsky Flot will always be St. Petersburg’s – and Russia’s – first yacht club. And since it closed its doors in 1725, Royal Cork YC can maintain it is the world’s oldest standing yacht club.

While I do not necessarily agree with allowing a single bureaucrat to decide where I can or cannot be/how long I can be there, the facts provided do make it clear that the sheriff has no such authority in this situation. Even if the sheriff has the authority to enforce the limitation, it does not include the authority to create it. Brian Aherne I think what The Log did in a great way is to really ask the larger question of whether boating access is a unilateral decision to be made by one person or one that values the needs of all constituents. It’s clear this decision was the former. If that’s perceived to be an “agenda,” I applaud The Log and any other public servant who recognizes it that way. Sailboat Scotty My question is does the sheriff’s department have a letter from the director authorizing the sheriff to create and enforce regulations concerning the Orange County harbors and docks? The sheriff can not assume or presume authority. It must be specifically designated by the director. Bruce Brewer

RE:“Diving boat fire near Santa Cruz Island leads to tragic loss of life” (Aug. 23-Sept. 5) I managed to get ahold of a deck plan for Conception. There are the stairs forward, and a hatch aft in the bunkroom. It looks like both required exits from the bunkroom went through the galley area. If the fire started in the galley area, and it was fully engulfed by the time people woke up, their only exit would be into the flames. It seems to me that the requirement that there be two exits should be modified that each exit empties into separate spaces or onto the deck. Having both exits empty into the area that is most likely to have a fire (galley) is flawed at best. Capt. Mark F. Sandorf

A CREW MEMBER SHOULD STAY AWAKE IN THE GALLEY ALL NIGHT… Ace Carter If there was an explosion on board, it does not sound like it started in the galley unless the appliances are gas fired, i.e. propane. The galley in most vessels like Conception are electric, and to power these appliances there must be a diesel generator to handle the load. So if was an explosion in the middle of the night it would lead me to think that a generator was running and had a mechanical failure that lead to a high enough temperature to ignite the fuel supply, maybe locked pump or bearing failure. Whatever the cause, it seems that if there are people below decks that can be trapped, all potential fire hazards have to be eliminated. No running gensets, electrical systems turned off at the source, breaker panel. And maybe an escape hatch that does not lead through the vessel. Everything should be turned off when everyone is asleep. The layout on this boat is the same as most large charter boats in Southern Cal. Something needs to be changed. Larry Genolio Although the Santa Cruz/Conception boat fire event likely progressed more rapidly than could have been mitigated due to a host of facts, this tragedy serves as a clarion call to governmental leaders for enhancements to the fire defensive posture by local/ state government in California and State Fire Training/State Fire Marshal to develop a modern training curriculum for marine firefighting. This could be used as a platform for agencies tasked with legitimate jurisdictional authority for marine firefighting duties to begin to deploy adequate and capable resources needed for vessel fires so as to properly protect human life.

Dory Fishing Fleet and Market in business for more than a century
NOW HAULING VESSELS to 200 TONS
NEWPORT BEACH—Not many businesses can say they have been operating since the 1800s, but the Dory Fishing Fleet and Market can. Pictured here is the Newport Pier and Dory Fleet Market in 1930. The Dory Fishing Fleet and Market is a beachside fishing cooperative that was founded in 1891 at the base of what was then McFadden Wharf, now known as the Newport Pier.
The Dory Fleet, a registered historical landmark, is considered the last beachside cooperative of its kind in the United States. According to the company website, Dory Fleet Market began when an enterprising fisherman tired of selling his fish to the wholesalers began marketing to the public on the beach.

From page 6
“The Log, as usual, seems to leave out the section(s) (information) that do not support their agenda.” Concerned Boater went on to list two Orange County Code sections to defend Corn’s changing of the public dock usage times from 72 hours to 20 minutes. Watchdog Boater, on the online comments, asked whether he was actually Corn himself. Concerned Boater seemed to indicate he was not Corn. “That’s funny!!! I do know Lt Corn and have been following this from the beginning. I have spoken to him on many occasions about this and agree with most of their (his) decisions,” Concerned Boater stated. “Unfortunately for him, he cannot make false or exaggerated allegations like some of the posters here. So I can only speak for myself and I do know a lot about what is going on because I do my homework and call out those people.” After reading this comment this writer did a little research. The backend of The Log’s website lists the email and IP addresses of each person who comments on our online articles. The email address associated with Concerned Boater’s most recent comments is ConcernedBoater@aol.com. There are multiple IP addresses associated with that email address. One of those IP addresses is 12.24.53.132. There is a comment from Concerned Boater posted on an article penned by The Log’s former staff writer, Devon Warren-Kachelein. The comment was posted on June 3 at 2:41 p.m. on an article headlined, “Orange County’s Docks: A Tale of Two Maritime Parking Scenes.” The email address associated with this comment by Concerned Boater is cdcorn1@aol.com; the IP address attached to the email is 12.24.53.132 – the same location as the comment referenced in the previous paragraph. We’ve included screen shots with this column. There are eight comments, as of Aug. 28, from Concerned Boater and the 12.24.53.132 address. The address is connected to a building in Santa Ana and reportedly owned by the State of California. The Log has since reached out to Corn – four times to be exact. We presented this same information to him and asked him whether the email address cdcorn1@aol.com is his or affiliated with someone he knows personally or professionally. Corn’s public email address is cfcorn@ocsd.org - slightly different from the “cdcorn” email address affiliated with the Concerned Boater uses on The Log’s website. Corn – nor the other county officials we reached out – has responded back to The Log to either confirm or deny whether the lieutenant and Concerned Boater are the same person. On each occasion The Log directly asked Corn to confirm or deny whether cdcorn1@aol. com is an email address affiliated with him. Perhaps either he or anyone else at the county is reading this article? If so, could you reach out and let us know whether Concerned Boater has an affiliation with Corn?
Feel free, readers of The Log, to reach out to Corn and other public officials, yourself. The larger question still exists whether a law enforcement agency actually created a regulation without specific direction from OC Parks or the county’s Board of Supervisors. This issue might appear too miniscule to doggedly pursue, as we’ve previously stated. Altering the usage of a public dock in Newport Beach doesn’t affect a large number of people. Watergate was nothing more than a poorly executed burglary by petty thieves before it morphed into a national scandal resulting in the only presidential resignation this country has
ever seen. And remember why Richard Nixon had fallen from grace: it wasn’t the actual crime but the cover-up and lies afterwards. If Concerned Boater truly is Lt. Chris Corn and he denied it publicly then can we really trust him to do his job on behalf of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department? Reach out to Corn at cfcorn@ocsd.org with comments, concerns or questions. Also reach out to members of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Lisa Bartlett 714-834-3550

simplifying regulations by adopting state rules would draw more people outdoors. “It’s going to encourage new hunters and anglers to enter the sport and fall in love with the outdoors and become lifelong conservationists,’’ he said. Among the areas opening to hunting and fishing for the first time are the 4 1/2 square miles at the Leadville National Fish Hatchery in central Colorado. Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge in southern Idaho faces two significant changes: opening a season for hunting elk with bows and arrows and extending boating season by a month. Idaho Department of Fish and Game officials, like several other state wildlife agencies, said the federal changes fell short of what they wanted. The U.S. agency said in the newly released rule that it looked forward to working with states on future changes for the start of the 2020 fall hunting season. President Theodore Roosevelt founded the National Wildlife Refuge system in 1903, signing an executive order to establish the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida to protect several types of birds from ornamental plume hunters. There are now more than 550 national wildlife refuges.

cial Dungeness crab season early. The Center for Biological Diversity says preliminary data released by the National Marine Fisheries Service shows 18 whale entanglements were reported in the first eight months of this year, down from 42 reports during that same period in 2018. The majority of entangled whales were spotted off California. A settlement between the conservation group and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ended California’s Dungeness crab season on April 15. The season normally ends June 30. The accidental entanglements can gouge whales’ flesh and mouth, weaken them and lead to drowning.
New Tahoe Boating app has interactive mapping, guides, tips RENO, Nevada (AP) — The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency has created a new app to help boaters and paddlers navigate Lake Tahoe’s expansive waters. The free Tahoe Boating app available for download at tahoeboating.org provides information about no-wake zone boundaries, area attractions and responsible recreation. TRPA says the interactive mapping feature gives boaters real-time location and direction of travel on the lake. It provides detailed information and photos of points of interest, fuel stations and bathrooms as well as information about boating safety, aquatic invasive species, and emergency contacts. The realtime mapping shows boaters how close they are to no-wake zones, where they›re required to stay 600 feet (180 meters)

LOCAL Criminal probe underway in fiery California boat disaster LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into the fiery dive boat disaster that killed 34 people off the coast of California, two officials said Sept. 9. The FBI, Coast Guard and U.S. attorney in Los Angeles are overseeing the investigation, according to the two people who were not authorized to speak publicly and commented on condition of anonymity. On Sept. 6, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said the investigation had not yet taken a criminal turn, though charges were possible. That turn of events appeared to happen Sept. 8 when federal agents raided the office of the boat’s owner, Truth Aquatics Inc. in Santa Barbara, and its two remaining vessels. Investigators have been gathering other evidence, including interviewing the captain and four surviving crew members, since the Sept. 2 tragedy off the Channel Islands. Thirty-three passengers and one crew member were trapped below deck when the fire broke out after 3 a.m. on Conception. Initial examinations indicate the people died of smoke inhalation before being burned, Brown said. Five crew members were able to jump overboard and swim to safety.

Safety Board report released Sept. 12 confirmed that all six crew members were asleep when flames started to engulf the vessel. The report provides a timeline of events and actions taken by the boat’s crew, but it noted that investigators are still attempting to determine the source of the fire. One crew member sleeping in a wheelhouse berth was awakened by a noise, according to the report. The crew member got up to see a fire rising from the compartment below and alerted others. Crew members attempted to enter the compartment and reach passengers, but were not able to use an access ladder that was on fire. They then tried to access the area through a forward window, but were overwhelmed by smoke and jumped overboard, according to the report. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. NTSB member Jennifer Homendy has said investigators are looking at several factors, including how batteries and electronics were stored and charged. The boat’s design will also come under scrutiny, particularly whether a bunkroom escape hatch was adequate. If charges are brought, prosecutors are likely to apply an obscure federal law known as the Seaman’s Manslaughter Statute, which predates the Civil War and was enacted to punish negligent captains, engineers and pilots for deadly steamboat accidents that killed thousands. The crime carries a potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison and sets a low bar for prosecutors, who only need to prove simple negligence or misconduct on the part of the captain or crew. The burned remains of the boat were brought to the surface by a salvage team on Sept. 12.
Ray Wilson joins the Seacoast Yacht Sales Newport Beach office NEWPORT BEACH — Newport Beach’s Seacoast Yacht Sales recently announced a new addition to their team, Ray Wilson. Wilson started in yacht sales after retiring from a marketing career in 2000. In a released statement the company said the longtime owner of both motor and sail boats started selling boats in the San Pedro/ Long Beach area working for a local brokerage for five years before embarking on a six year cruising adventure. After returning home, he settled in the San Diego area and opened and headed up a successful new office in San Diego for Heritage Yacht Sales which facilitated Heritage becoming the Catalina and Hunter dealership for the area. For the last three years Wilson has owned and operated Catalina Coast Yacht Sales but is now looking forward to joining forces with Seacoast, the released statement said. Seacoast has five offices and 19 sales associates spanning from Santa Barbara to San Diego. The released statement said Wilson feels that one of his strengths as a broker is that he still vividly remembers the uncertainty, hopes and fears as well as the learning curve that confronts a new buyer when they start to consider buying their first boat and he feels that his particular journey allows him to more effectively relate and help them through the process.

be in play under the new reorganization: all boating-related programmatic decisions will be approved by DBW’s deputy director and DPR’s directorial leadership. The approvals would have to be made before other divisions take action on the same programmatic decisions. DBW staff stated the division would also rely upon the quarterly California Boating and Waterway Commission meetings “as a point of regular consistent external stakeholder communication.” The first iteration of DBW was established in 1957, when the Department of Natural Resources operated the Division of Small Craft Harbors and Small Craft Harbors Commission. Natural Resources was reorganized in 1961 and the Division of Small Craft Harbors was, accordingly, moved to the Department of Parks and Recreation. State officials created Department
of Harbors and Watercraft in 1966 to succeed the Division of Small Craft Harbors, with the Small Craft Harbors Commission being renamed the Harbor and Watercraft Commission. Department of Harbors and Watercraft became the Department of Navigation and Ocean Development in 1969. California’s Department of Boating and Waterways came into effect in 1979, and remained as an independent agency until then-Gov. Jerry Brown, in a cost-cutting move, merged it into State Parks as a division. State Parks as a whole began a transformation process in 2014, per a report by published by the Department of Natural Resources. A Transformation Action Plan was created and established four goals for State Parks and its internal divisions: enhance and protect natural/cultural resources; develop “excellent” management systems; maintain “high-quality” operations and public service; and, create “meaningful connections and relevancy” to people.

House approves bill to protect coasts from offshore drilling
IN MEMORIAM Paul Caronna, well-known Point Loma blue marlin angler, dies Caronna spent nearly his whole life fishing, once catching an 850-pound Pacific blue marlin off the shores of Cabo San Lucas.
Two bills proposing to prohibit offshore drilling in federal waters made it out of the House of Representatives on Sept. 11. Will both proposals eventually make it to the president’s desk for signature or veto?
issue in Washington, D.C. (and elsewhere). Proponents of offshore drilling argue the exploration of new oil and gas opportunities not only provides for greater energy independence but also is necessary for national security purposes. Bans on offshore drilling opportunities in federal waters, proponents continue, would force the United States to become more reliant on foreign oil. Opponents of new offshore drilling opportunities say spills resulting from offshore oil and gas explorations are harmful to maritime life and threaten jobs. Policymakers in California adamantly opposed plans for new offshore drilling activities, stating such activities would be harmful to the state’s coastline. California banned offshore drilling activities in state waters after a 1969 oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast. Trump, in 2017, issued an executive order to pursue new offshore drilling opportunities over a five-year period. The order was later deemed by a federal judge to be unlawful, as it exceeded Trump’s authority as president. Representatives reportedly approved H.R. 1941 by a 238-189 vote; H.R. 205 cleared the House by a 248-180 vote. If senators approve both bills then they would move to the White House for signature or veto.

POINT LOMA — Paul Caronna, a Point Loma yacht broker known by many for his love of blue marlin fishing, has died. Caronna’s friend of nearly 40 years, Mary Ann Prall, said he passed away peacefully Aug. 27 from chronic respiratory failure. He was 78 years old. Corona spent more than 20 years on his yachts, fishing in Cabo and the islands of San Benedito, Sicorro and Clarion, Prall said. “Those who knew him will tell you he was one of the best blue marlin fishermen in the world,” Prall said. Caronna came from a big Italian family and grew up in Southern California. Caronna spent his high school days working for Chrysler and advanced to building race engines. In about 1990, he got into the yacht brokerage business, where he spent about 25 years as a yacht broker with Scott B. Jones. Prall said he Paul Caronna was a well-known angler and also started a monthly broker’s forum yacht broker in San Diego. which still meets in San Diego today. In a story Caronna wrote about reeling in an 850-pound Pacific Blue Marlin with Prall in 1983 off the shores of Cabo, he traced his love for fishing back to 5 years old. “…at that young age, only two things got my attention: fishing and cars,” Caronna penned.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Two proposals aiming to challenge the Trump administration’s offshore drilling plans made it out of the House of Representatives on Sept. 11. Both bills aim to “permanently protect” the shorelines of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic and Pacific oceans from new offshore drilling activities. The Coastal and Marine Economies Protection Act (H.R. 1941) and Protecting and Securing Florida’s Coastline Act (H.R. 205) both made it out of the House and will move on to the U.S. Senate. Both proposals were approved in the lower chamber a couple months after representatives used an appropriations vote to block federal funding for new offshore drilling activities through the 2020 fiscal year. H.R. 1941 proposes to permanently block offshore oil and gas drilling in the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Straits of Florida. H.R. 205 would specifically ban offshore oil and gas drilling off of Florida’s Gulf Coast. A moratorium currently blocking offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf will be in effect until 2022. Pres. Donald J. Trump proposed to seek new oil and gas opportunities in federal waters, but several states, agencies and organizations lined up to oppose plans. The governors of California, Oregon and Washington, for example, all expressed concern or opposition over the Trump administration’s plans. Also in opposition to Trump’s oil exploration plans were the California Coastal Commission, California Fish and Game Commission and California State Lands Commission. The pursuit of new offshore drilling opportunities has been a divisive

when he was 13 years old, he said his mom took him down to the Redondo Beach pier to fish. He spent the rest of his life fishing and in 1983 caught an 850pound blue marlin. “After looking how big this fish was and how just the two of us with no crew managed to board this fish made me think a little about life as a fisherman,” Caronna wrote. Prall said Caronna loved his two sons, Paul Jr. and Frankie, his Rolls-Royces, the Bellagio and going to dinner at his favorite restaurant, Fiddler’s Green. “Paul lived a magical and fabulous life, fueled by his love of the sea,” Prall said.

Oceanside beefs up work plan for harbor
By Lindsey Welling OCEANSIDE—It’s the small details at Oceanside Harbor – a fresh coat of paint on the Harbor Village Lighthouse and regularly pressure washed sidewalks – that keep the nearly six-decade old recreational harbor looking its best. The Oceanside Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee is a key player in identifying ways to improve the harbor, described by committee chair Liz Rhea as a “sleepy little gem.” The committee is now taking steps to have a more proactive role in that process. The harbor appearance is one of four components the Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee is focusing on in a recently revamped work plan for the harbor. “I have said, the harbor may be old, but it can be kept clean and look good,” Oceanside Harbor Manager Ted Schiafone said in an email. Schiafone has been at the helm of the harbor since late 2017. He said when he came on board the Fiscal Year 2016-18 Work Plan had already been established and had not been modified for more than 10 years. Schiafone recently worked with the Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee to create a more robust work plan for fiscal year 2019-21. The Oceanside City Council approved it at their Aug. 21 meeting. “Specific goals were very general and had not been modified for over 10 years,” Schiafone said. “It told me the work plan was routine and not a working document to make the necessary improvements at Oceanside Harbor.” The committee only advises and does not set policy. However, Schiafone said he believes the committee needs to bridge communication with all of the harbor stakeholders and then recommend solutions and initiatives the staff can implement.

L.A. County approves new lease for Orange County seeks permit amendment for Newport Beach docks Santa Monica Windjammers YC
By Lindsey Welling SANTA MONICA—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a lease allowing the Santa Monica Windjammers Yacht Club to remain at their current location until at least 2022. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, at its Sept. 3 meeting, approved an amended and restated lease extending the lease term to March 31, 2022, and providing two fiveyear options to potentially extend the term to March 31, 2032. According to the terms, the two five-year options are contingent on county’s determination that continued occupancy of the premises by the lessee will not unreasonably interfere with any other county-approved use of the leased premises, for example, the contemplated enlargement of Burton Chace Park. According to a board letter from County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors Director Gary
Jones, the relative short duration of the lease extension and five-year options are less than ideal for the club and even less appealing to any other potential tenant. He went on to say, nevertheless, the short durations are required by the county in order to best plan the future development of the premises and surrounding area. The terms amend the 2008 lease so the county will no longer be required to pursue a replacement facility for SMYC upon expiration or termination of the lease. It also clarifies the respective responsibilities of the county and lessee regarding maintenance and repairs of the premises. All improvements on the premises and all alterations shall be owned by the county, expect the boat hoist. The yacht club will be fully and solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of the hoist. The lease also states the lessee shall not make any improvement, modification, installation, or other alteration of, on, or to the premises, or any utility or other system serving the premises, without the prior written consent of county. According to the lease agreement, the annual minimum rent will be $25,500 and the minimum monthly rent will be $2,125. The rental income received by the county from the lease is deposited into a special trust fund to be used for the annual operation, repair, maintenance and replacement of the Anchorage 47 docks and premises. The Small Craft Harbor Commission unanimously endorsed the proposed lease at its Sept. 12, 2018 meeting. The yacht club has been operating out of a portion of Parcel 47 in Marina del Rey since 1985. The property includes the clubhouse, a portion of its parking lot and a 32 mast-up dry boat storage facility. SMYC also operates a youth sailing program that is open to the public.

NEWPORT BEACH—Orange County has formally filed an amendment application for public access and recreational boating amenities at a set of docks in Newport Beach Harbor. The application is the latest in the developments The Log has been following at the public docks at the Orange County Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol headquarters in Corona del Mar. County staff, in a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) amendment application filed with the California Coastal Commission on Aug. 5, is specifically requesting placement of “Keep Out” and “Authorized Personnel Only” on four slips, to be reserved for lifeguard boats. Five other slips at the docks would continue to be available to the public as guest slips.

MANUFACTURER’S REPRESENTATIVE & DISTRIBUTOR FOR:
Local residents, boaters and stakeholders attended a community workshop at The Ocean Institute in mid-August. The workshop revealed plans for the proposed revitalization of Dana Point Harbor.
Dana Point Harbor’s developers hosted open house events, workshop The development team behind planned revitalization discussed future plans with harbor users, local residents and others. By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT—The development team partnering with Orange County to revitalize Dana Point Harbor held a workshop and two open house events during the past month, hoping to connect with local boaters, residents and stakeholders about the soon-to-be redeveloped waterfront. Plans to revitalize Dana Point Harbor have been on the table since 1997 but much hasn’t been done in the 22 years since initial talks began. An estimated crowd of 200 people attended a community workshop held in mid-August at Dana Point’s The Ocean Institute. There were more than a dozen stations in the conference room where the workshop was held, each one showing a different element of the revitalization. Some stations presented conceptual designs for the harbor and waterfront; others were set up to receive feedback from attendees. There was also a short video presented, outlining the revitalization vision of Dana Point Harbor Partners (the development team selected by Orange County’s Board of Supervisors to execute the long-awaited waterfront/harbor redevelopment). The mood at the community workshop was quite positive. Several people were hopeful about the revitalization and were optimistic the revitalization would finally happen after decades of waiting. This reporter overheard several people in the parking lot, all of who attended the mid-August workshop, expressing excitement over what could be if Dana Point Harbor Partners executes its plans.
Two community open house events were held two weeks later at the Dana Point Harbor management office. The same design boards and vision presentations were reportedly on display at the two open house events. Feedback from the workshop and both open house events will be presented at the next Dana Point Planning Commission meeting, which is on Sept. 23. Information about what was presented at the three community engagement events and the findings of the Dana Point Planning Commission will be presented in one of The Log’s October issues. Dana Point Harbor Partners was created after Orange County’s Board of Supervisors voted to pursue a public-private partnership venture to revitalize the Dana Point Harbor area. The private enterprise is a union of three companies: Burnham Ward Properties, Bellweather Financial Group and R.D. Olson Development. Burnham Ward Properties is overseeing development of the harbor’s commercial core revitalization, while Bellweather Financial is responsible for boat slips, boating venues, dry boat storage, day boat parking and launch ramp areas. R.D. Olson will be spearheading hotel redevelopment and harbor hospitality components. Orange County and Dana Point Harbor Partners signed a 66-year deal worth $330 million in November 2018. The partnership was seen as a major flash point, as chatter about a possible revitalization of Dana Point Harbor has been ongoing since 1997. The harbor revitalization could be completed by 2030, according to previous reporting in The Log. The Log reached out to Burnham Ward Properties for insight on this story but has yet to hear back from its representative.

More than three decades later, white sea bass enhancement program still releasing fish How is the success of the Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program measured?
NEWPORT BEACH— It’s a warm Wednesday morning in September and James Updike is headed out to the Newport Beach Harbor white sea bass grow out pens. There are currently no fish to take care of, but come October or November that will change. Updike is cleaning up the pens for the next batch of juvenile white sea bass that will be raised in the harbor. The white sea bass grow-out pens in Newport Beach Harbor have been part of the California Department of Wildlife and Fish Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program (OREHP) for about 30 years, according to Updike who is one of the pen managers. Updike said in a year they can raise anywhere from a couple thousand to nine thousand white sea bass that, once old enough, are released into the bay. OREHP is one of the longest-running marine fish stock enhancement pilot programs in the United States. It was created by the California legislature in 1983 to research the feasibility of raising hatchery fish to successfully enhance wild fish populations important to California for their sport and commercial fishing value. Around that time, in 1978, fewer than 300 white sea bass were caught by recreational anglers, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. If you have a fishing license, you have contributed to the program. A special fee for a marine enhancement stamp on annual saltwater-fishing licenses serves as one of the main funding tools. Outside of the fee, most of the costs are covered by donations from local angling groups and volunteers. Since the start of the program, more than two million juvenile white sea bass have been released into Southern California waters. Now, after a major study evaluating the program and a public comment period, there is no sign of the program ceasing. Just how successful it has been depends on who you ask and how you measure its success. It has the support of many local anglers who fish in Southern California waters, angling groups and educators. “We’ve proven through recaptures and stuff it has worked, to what extent we’ve contributed is really an unknown factor,” said John Whitaker, the co-director of the white sea bass grow-out program in King Harbor. On the quantitative side of success, the latest data on the program came out in 2017. A study was assembled to

James Updike, one of the pen managers for OREHP’s white sea bass grow-out program in Newport Beach Harbor, is getting ready for the next round of juvenile fish, which will come once waters cool down.
evaluate the program and concluded it has made a less than a one percent contribution to enhancing the California white sea bass population due to high levels of mortality suffered by hatchery-reared white sea bass following release into the wild. “The Department of Fish and Wildlife went out and have tried to do studies on the fish to determine how can we measure how successful this program has been?” Updike said. The analysis went on to state that if mortality rates of released hatchery fish were reduced to equal those of wild white sea bass, then current stocking rates could result in a hatchery contribution of 18 percent. “There’s been a lot of good research that has come out of this program,” OREHP Coordinator Valerie Taylor said. California Sea Grant Coastal Specialist Theresa Sinicrope Talley was one of the scientists selected to evaluate the program in 2017. She said OREHP has significantly contributed to the world’s knowledge of white sea bass biology and culture, in particular the life history, ecology, physiology, basic genetics, diet in culture, common diseases and health conditions, tagging and tracking methods, and influences of enhancement on wild stocks. “When the OREHP started, little was known about the techniques needed to successfully spawn, rear, and release saltwater fishes,” Talley told The Log in an email. The program at its peak had 15 grow-out pens in operation along the Southern California coast. Taylor said there are now eight in operation, with several others currently not in operation due to the need for repairs and/or volunteers. “We are currently still raising white sea bass and releasing them but there is the potential of maybe moving on to a different species, California halibut has been talked about,” Taylor said. She said Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute is researching hatchery-raised halibut using private funding venues.
The complete discontinuation of the program is not something that is being considered, Taylor said. In 2018, the public was invited to participate in a survey about the future of OREHP. Of the 178 respondents, 34 percent wanted to continue OREHP with white sea bass and the addition of a second enhancement species, while 21 percent wanted to discontinue OREHP and redirect the funds to other management efforts that may help marine fisheries and ocean health, such as stock assessments. “Every person at every one of those meetings who stood up were fisherman or educators and everyone said I don’t have any data but I’m out fishing and this is what we see,” Updike said. Daniel Greenberg, a local angler and Balboa Angling Club member, said he has noticed changes since the program started releasing fish. “If you catch a 35-pound sea bass along the coast that’s considered small now,” Greenberg said. “The average ones are about 50 pounds.” Of 123 public comments and post-town hall comments, 78 percent expressed distrust of the science underlying the OREHP Evaluation, while 17 percent trusted the science. “If they can improve the collection data and all that, we’d have a better idea I think,” Whitaker said. Other factors have played a role in the growing white sea bass population. In 1990, California voters passed Proposition 132, which banned the use in state waters of the commercial gill nets which had been taking a toll on white sea bass populations. Some, like Ocean Institute Vice President of Education Wendy Marshall, have asked the question: what was the program’s purpose? “Was the purpose of the program strictly focused on depleted population and repopulation?” Marshall said. Marshall is a former Director of Education at what is now Ocean Quest in Newport Beach, a hands-on science education center. During her time
Halibut California Halibut was one of the original species involved in the initial research for OREHP. Taylor said white sea bass and halibut were selected because of their importance to recreational anglers and at the time the program was being developed, both were in decline. She said there was not enough funds to proceed with both. According to Taylor, the halibut population was starting to go up, so they focused on white sea bass. A 2011 stock assessment by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife determined that California halibut numbers have been low but steady in the Southern California Bight, hovering near 15 percent of its historic biomass since the 1970s. The Log wants to hear from you, what are your thoughts on switching to or adding halibut to OREHP? Send your comments to Lindsey@thelog. com.
there, she took hundreds of kids to the white sea bass grow-out pens in Newport Beach Harbor. “Taking kids out there to see a realworld case study,” Marshall said. She believes from a qualitative stand point, the program has been a success, teaching and inspiring kids about ocean problems. “There is more to measure than fish heads,” Marshall said. She believes the program has also been successful from a community impact and research standpoint. She said one possible unintended implication from the program could be applied to the aquaculture sector. “Can you rear this fish and do it ethically, and the answer is yes,” Marshall said. Marshall said how to ethically and sustainably raise fish is just one of many lessons to be learned from the pens. Just where the program goes from here is unclear. What is clear, is the support and optimism for its future. The Ocean Institute in Dana Point is among those to see a future for the program and currently has a permit pending to build and operate a growout pen. “Ultimately I would like to use it as an incubator for new studies,” Marshall said.

NOAA seeking public comment for California sea lion removal petition WASHINGTON, D.C.—Federal officials are seeking public comment on an application for the legal take of California sea lions in the Columbia River. The application also includes a request to lethally take Stellar sea lions. Oregon’s Department Fish and Wildlife joined the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Idaho Department of Fish and Game and other agencies in filing a request to be allowed to kill California and Stellar sea lions in the Columbia River, as an attempt to preserve the spawning habitat of threatened or endangered salmon in the area. “This action is intended to reduce or eliminate sea lion predation on the fishery stocks that are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) public notice stated. The NOAA application calls for a lethal taking of sea lions in the Columbia River because the pinnipeds are harming the recovery of salmonid fishery stocks. “Sea lion predation [in the Columbia
River] … is having a significant negative impact on the recovery on the above-mentioned fishery stocks,” the NOAA notice for public comment stated. “The application [additionally] states that removal of sea lions is also intended to protect species of lamprey or sturgeon that may not be listed as endangered or threatened but are listed as a species of concern.” Efforts to recover salmon and steelhead populations in the Columbia River have been underway for decades, according to NOAA staff. Public comments on whether officials in Oregon and Washington should be allowed to conduct lethal takings of sea lions in the Columbia River basin will be accepted through Oct. 29. Comments can be mailed physically to National Marine Fisheries Service, 1201 NE Lloyd Blvd., Suite 1100, Portland, Oregon 97232, Attention: Protected Resources Division, NOAA-NMFS-2019-0073.

Solo Sheephead SANTA BARBARA—Stardust’s half-day fishing jaunt out of Santa Barbara Harbor had 15 anglers reeling in 66 total fish – and one of those catches was this sheephead. It was the sole sheephead caught during the trip, which mostly navigated shallow waters looking for bass and other surface fish. The ship’s captain reported a few legals were caught. A legal white sea bass was hooked but lost just before it entered gaff range. “We would’ve stayed longer but the mackerel got completely out of hand so we spent our last hour looking for bottom fish,” Stardust’s captain stated. The 15 anglers aboard Stardust’s Sept. 10 half-day expedition came back to shore with 33 rockfish, 27 whitefish, three sand bass, two Calicos (40 caught but released) and one sheephead.

A new fishing gear design could help advance sustainable fishing and minimize harmful bycatch. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE—A new advancement in sustainable fishing practices could help avoid deadly harm to various bycatch. The Pacific Fishery Management Council approved the advancement, called deep-set buoy gear, as an authorized tool to catch swordfish. Deep-set buoy gears would be used as a replacement to large-mesh drift gillnets, which are still being used in California to catch swordfish. The use of gillnets, which could be up to onemile long in length, often result marine mammals and other species being caught in the process, however, causing them to suffer serious harm or death. Environmental groups such as Oceana and Pew Charitable Trusts have been advocating for deep-set buoy gears to be deployed into the ocean as a sustainable fishing practice. The council reportedly spent eight years researching and testing deep-set buoy gears. A successful run of the fishing gear could help dolphins, turtles, whales and other marine wildlife from being caught and harmed or killed.
Bob Vanian’s
“This innovative fishing approach uses a hook-and-buoy system that enables fishermen to drop their hooks as deep as 1,200 feet, where swordfish typically feed during the day,” Pew Charitable Trusts staff wrote in a blog post ahead of the Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings, which was held on Sept. 13 and 14 in Boise, Idaho. “When a bite-indicator buoy is triggered, fishermen can respond within minutes. If the catch is a swordfish or other marketable species, they can land it; if it is another animal, they can release it alive. By contrast, drift gillnets are deployed at night near the surface – where many species congregate – resulting in dramatically higher bycatch of those species.” Scientists have performed more than 8,000 hours of on-water tests of deep-set buoy gears, according to Pew staff. The testing showed a “dramatically lower bycatch of dolphins, sea turtles and whale,” Pew staff stated. “In addition, swordfish caught with buoy gear – because they are brought to market quickly – often sell for a higher price than those landed in drift gillnets. Sen. Dianne Feinstein wrote a letter to the Pacific Fisheries Management Council in support of the deep-set buoy gear. “Deep-set buoy gear is a proven method of harvesting West Coast

swordfish while minimizing bycatch of iconic Pacific Ocean marine wildlife such as dolphins, whales and turtles, as well as recreationally important species like striped marlin,” Feinstein wrote to the council. “Authorization of this gear would facilitate continued progress toward a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly fishery.
“Importantly, final authorization of deep-set buoy gear would better facilitate multiple policy objectives that Congress established for U.S. fisheries management under the MagnusonStevens Act, including requirements to achieve optimum yield in each fishery and minimize the bycatch of non-target species,” Feinstein continued.

San Diego Report
Bluefin and yellowfin continue late summer runs SAN DIEGO—We were in the final week of summer fishing and fall bites are around the corner. Late summer runs of bluefin and yellowfin, however, continue to go strong and seem to be setting things up nicely, especially with regard to there being a lot of fish holding in local offshore waters as we head into the fall. The fall months can provide some of the best offshore fishing of the year as the pelagic fish can sometimes group up in warm water zones and go on feeding sprees as they prepare to migrate to warmer waters during the cold water late fall and winter months. Anglers who would like to chase after jumbo sized bluefin tuna have been heading out to fish some of the spots outside of the back side of San Clemente Island where there have been good numbers of 150- to 300-plus pound bluefin tuna biting. Some of the recent better days of fishing have been very good with some private boaters reporting catching as many as five or six of the whopper-sized bluefin in a day of fishing. Productive areas have been 3 to 8 miles to the southeast of Pyramid Head, the area a short way outside of Desperation Reef and while fishing around and about the 81 Fathom Spot, the 86 Fathom Spot and the 57 Fathom Spot. Drifted kite flown flying fish and drifted helium filled balloon fished flying fish have been working the best for the large and the jumbo sized bluefin. Live, fresh dead and frozen flying fish have all been effective. There have also been some showings of 40- to 120-pound bluefin in areas such as the 9 Mile Bank, 8 to 15 miles off La Jolla, the 289 Spot, the 181 Spot and the 182 Spot but the bluefin in these areas tend of be up and down quickly and more often than not are difficult to get to bite. The best bet for the bluefin in these areas has been casting poppers to the spots of breaking fish before they sound. There has been good fishing for a mix of 20- to 90-pound bluefin and 8to 30-pound yellowfin for boats fishing some of the offshore banks in the waters ranging from below and outside of the Coronado Islands on down to the offshore banks outside of Ensenada. One of the current good bite areas is in the region above and inside of the 390 Bank while fishing about 38 to 40 miles, 205 to 210 degrees from Point Loma. The other current good bite area is while fishing to the northwest of the 385 Spot down at 45 to 48 miles 170 to 175 degrees from Point Loma. In addition to bluefin and yellowfin, there have been some yellowtail, Dorado and improving numbers of skipjack biting in the same areas as talked about in the paragraph above. Stops on the bluefin and yellowfin
border. Calico bass continue to provide most of the surface fishing action with kelp bed areas up and down much of the San Diego County coast producing action. Some of the more productive areas for calicos have been the Point Loma Kelp Beds, the kelp at the upper end of La Jolla, the kelp bed areas between Solana Beach and South Carlsbad, the Barn Kelp, Yellowtail Kelp and the kelp off Box Canyon. Hard bottom and structure spots have also been producing some bass and sculpin with productive places being the Imperial Beach Pipeline, hard bottom spots between the Imperial Beach Pipeline and the Mexico border, the hard bottom to the north and northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Green Tank, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside and Box Canyon. Rockfish continue to be a significant part of the coastal fishing picture with recent reports of good rockfish catches coming from hard bottom areas around the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Green Tank at Point Loma, the upper end of La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Del Mar and Box Canyon. The summer fishing season is getting ready to roll over into fall and the good fun fishing we are enjoying might just get even better if the fish group up and go on feeding frenzies like they sometimes do before migrating to warmer waters for the winter months. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water! Intrepid Sportfishing Facebook photo
By Bob Vanian
Bluefin and yellowfin bites are still hot, even with the summer of 2019 officially coming to an end on Sept. 21, Bob Vanian reports.
schools have been originating from stopping on meter marks, sonar marks, spots of breaking fish, spots of breezing fish, kelp paddies, skipjack trolling strikes and the occasional yellowfin or bluefin trolling strike. The best stops turn into long drifts where the fish stay with the boat and anglers pick away at the fish on live sardines. The Balboa Angling Club held its Master’s Billfish Tournament on Sept. 13 and 14, with 41 boats participating. There were striped marlin and swordfish biting and it was an epic event with regard to swordfish fishing! The unofficial totals I have for the two days of fishing, from what I counted in listening to tournament control, were 12 swordfish hookups, resulting in six boated swordfish. On the striped marlin front my unofficial tally was 14 marlin hookups, with seven of the marlin hookups caught and released. What was incredible was that Kea Kai boated four swordfish during the tournament; three of those swordfish were boated by angler Charlie Albright; one came in 137 pounds and another weighed 219 pounds. Sam Long was the angler who caught the fourth swordfish aboard the Kea Kai. I am thinking one would have to go back to the days of the legendary Ted Naftzger fishing aboard Hustler to find the last time someone caught a two-fish limit of swordfish in California waters! Los Coronado Islands have not seen
much fishing pressure lately due to the good tuna fishing in local offshore waters but there was some recent news from Los Coronado Islands via a report from a private boater. He reported he and another caught their limits of 12to 16-pound yellowtail while fishing along the lee side of South Island. A second recent report from Los Coronado Islands was from another private boater who reported about some nice sized calico bass biting while fishing around some of the boiler rocks at North Island. The bottom fishing is usually good around Los Coronado Islands and good areas for the bottom fishing have been at the South Kelp Ridge while fishing in 25 to 40 fathoms of water and at the hard bottom areas to the north, the northwest and the northeast of North Island while fishing in 20 to 45 fathoms of water. The fishing along the San Diego County coast continues to be good for a mix of sand bass, calico bass, small bonito, reds, rockfish, whitefish and sculpin and there has also been a chance at catching a bonus lingcod, halibut or yellowtail. There has been a bit of recent improvement in the yellowtail activity with the upper end of La Jolla producing an occasional yellowtail and with a few spots of breezing yellowtail being found during the early morning hours in the Imperial Beach area for boats fishing a short way above the Mexico
