Jim;I discourage putting any blood trail over the side as this will atract sharks that will make your live bait stops a nightmare! Tim |

Tim, you can also use the trash can method and plumb-in saltwater recirculation,I've seen it on some larger boats. The fill is at the bottom and the overflow is at the top and it is piped over the side,so what you can do is, as soon as the fish comes on board you club it or spike the brain and just before you drop it in nose first cut the gills and it bleeds out. When the tuna has bled out, ice it down ASAP to prevent the Histamine build up which will give it a metallic taste or worse, Scombroid poisoning. I think your right though about filleting on the fly on the smaller boats, it's also great chumming material if your trolling or soaking some baits in that area.

If you fillet the tuna on the fly or on the trip back in you can carry less ice.Take some zip-locs too.I take a large plastic trashcan with me that holds a few tuna.As soon as you bring the tuna abord,put them nose-down in the trashcan and cut the gills with a good pair of kitchen scissors.This bleeds them and there is no blood splattering everywhere!Fillet them as soon as you can and put in zip-loc's and ice them. |

MIB are taking our fish. they are giving it to the aliens from urethra and screwing it up for us for get the sierra club they know about it and support the aliens. It all started with the cow mutilations and now it is our fish. I have seen them and they are kind and just want to know a little abvout our fish and don't know about the fish and game. The poor guys can't understand what were are going through. I told them that I would try to explain thier delema on this site to get some of the heat off, but they were quite deliberate to to do it themselves. I am trying to stop an intergalktic war so they can get their samples and leave. they told me that it would take about 1.5 of our years to sort it out and know mor about our planet. they also appoligize about the cattle and how it made us afraid to go outside. Mad cow is just a side affect to the quiz (?) that was given when asked about the ancestors of their kind. They promise not to mess with the humans on this planet (due to something that I could not explain. "Do not worry and enjoy fishing" is what they wanted to convey. "Do not worry and enjoy fishing" is all they would say when asked questions about what the hell they are talkin about. "Do not worry and enjoy fishing" . They told me to tell the DFG "Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing""Do not worry and enjoy fishing" This went on till I cut them off.
If you have any questions for them, they will be back on (what I understand) the 11th of June. Post it as they monitor this site and all others around the world? I think this is what they said. |

There's an excellent publication and study done by UC DAVIS about proper handling of Tuna, and more specifically Albacore. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people come in from a day long tuna trip with 10 Albacore and no ice, or they took a 10# bag along with them when they should be taking 80 to 100lbs. I remember in 02/03 at the end of the year when the big fish come in close and most of us overshoot. I saw a skiff down at the Tidelands park sidetie dock with 3 beautiful 60+ lb albies on deck with no ice and skin looking like jerky because the fish were baking in the sun all day(this is a so called "experienced" fisherman). Then there's the story of the tuna that people see on the side of the road on the way back to Fresno or Bakersfield, thrown out because of ignorance of proper handling of the catch. I may be preaching to the choir, but read this UC DAVIS study. And here's a few tips: Bleed your fish,club or spike your fish,ice your fish!!
It's going to be the difference between Sushi and cat food, actually my cat wouldn't even eat it. So pass it along...

John is correct! Dont even think about running offshore until at least middle of next week. This front that is pushing in is going to blow big time. Outside water is moving in the right direction. NW winds stop blowing and we may get the push we need for a run as early as next weekend.

Gary,
Here's a site that deals with fish venting,http://www.flseagrant.org/program_areas/fisheries/venting/index.htm
Another method is "crating" which another regular poster to this board turned me onto a year or so ago, which is probably better to do in most cases than venting.
attach 50' of line to a milkcrate, ( I have about 1# of lead on each corner of mine) place the crate over the fish and sink him to depth and keep it there a minute or two, and he will commonly re-acclimate to depth provided that he wasn't pulled to rapidly from deep water.
Farm supply and other ag stores carry 14 gauge needles for about 25cents.
We're picking up more people for the early July mexico trip, i'll post more info as i get it. |

Be sure to read the whole article and learn about the Surprise migration!
This is from a NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Web Site
( http://listserver.afsc.noaa.gov/read/messages?id=530 ):
Southwest: � Archival Tagging Project Reveals First Known Details on Behavior of Juvenile N. Pacific Albacore & Offers $500 Reward for Recovered Tags
A long-term Archival Tagging Project was undertaken in 2001 by NOAA Fisheries Southwest Science Center in cooperation with the American Fisherman�s Research Foundation to study the migratory patterns of juvenile (3 to 5 years old) North Pacific albacore. The project is a five-year program that entails tagging approximately 100 fish in each of the years 2001-2005 for a total of 500 tags deployed by the end of 2005.
The archival tags are sophisticated, small electronic data-logging devices that record depth, water temperature, internal temperature of the fish, and ambient light levels for a period of up to four years. The tags are surgically implanted in the abdominal cavity of the fish with the stalk protruding near the dorsal fin. A reward of $500 is offered for return of a tagged fish that can be identified by the presence of a green spaghetti tag near the dorsal fin.
It is known from previous tagging studies that juveniles make long-range migrations in the north Pacific between Japan and the west coast of North America prior to becoming sexually mature. However the timing, extent, and
routes of these migrations are poorly understood. The vertical distribution and extent to which oceanographic conditions influence juvenile albacore horizontal distributions and behavior is also poorly known.
Since the start of the project, 197 tags have been deployed, mostly off the southern and central California coast. To date, 4 archival tags have been recovered, three of which were recovered during the first week of July, 2004 by sportfishing vessels operating out of San Diego. The longest time at liberty was 367 days and the greatest net movement between the release and recovery locations was 206 nm. Analysis of the light levels for one fish at liberty for nearly a year indicates that the fish moved extensively throughout the waters off southern California and Baja California, moving north into waters off Point Conception in the late summer and south into the area offshore of Bahia Magdalena in the winter. Depth and temperature records recorded by the tags show a pattern of
repetitive diving by the fish between the surface and depths greater than 150 m (492 feet) throughout the day, with nights spent in the upper 40 m (130 feet). Individual dives routinely exceeded 30 minutes into waters as
cold as 10� Celsius (50� Fahrenheit).
These are the first detailed records of north Pacific albacore behavior from the eastern Pacific. The repetitive diving below the thermocline into waters as deep as 350 meters (1,150 feet) in temperatures reaching 7� C (45�F) was unexpected for these small, warm-bodied fish. The fish from which data were collected did not undertake trans-Pacific migrations; however, north-south movements off the coasts of California and Baja California were extensive. As more tags are returned, the data are expected to provide new insights into the North Pacific albacore stock structure and the habitat use patterns of these juvenile fish which are essential to developing accurate population assessments. For more updated information from our Southwest Science Center go to http://swfsc.nmfs.noaa.gov/albacore_tag/ or contact Dr. Suzie Kohin (858) 546-7104. Also, Wayne Heikkila, Executive Director, Western Fishboat Owners Association / American Fishermens Research Foundation (707)

the "thing sticking out of the fishes mouth is the stomach. you are correct in the punching method you mentioned.. unless you just want to see the fish swim away. water has a hard time getting out of their gut and besides they might get ulsers |

While fishing off the Gulf Coast I saw "Roland Martin" pop a small (10lb) Red Snappers bladder with a his pocket knife where it was protruding from the fishes mouth and said, "that's how it's done". I doubt very seriously if the fish survived, but I believe the correct way is to insert clean syringe just behind the pectoral fin between the scales and just enough to penetrate the bladder, allowing it to deflate on its own. I was wondering what the mortality rate was if the bladder is deflated from where it is protruding from the mouth of the fish. I have also heard that the membrane protruding from the mouth is not the swim bladder at all but it's the fishes stomach. I'm all for catch and release but I want to give the fish the best chance of survival. Can someone shed some light on the subject. |

Howdy all
Just as further protection to the Rockfish, if you are in the habit of deflating the gas bladder when the fish come up with a syringe, good for you. BUT, a buddy of mine who did graduate work on rockfish, said "in-house" studies showed if the syringe/knife wasn't sterile, the fish had a higher death rate due to infection from fungi and bacterial. HE said if the syringe/knife was bleached or rubbed with alcohol the infection rate was much much lower and fish could recover easier. So, basically, just dip the blade in a 20% bleach solution or wipe with those first aid alcohol pads before you stick'em.
Yes, we're not fish doctors, but I want the fishing to stay open and this may be a way to help out the fishery. |

Eric,
As soon as this lame contractor gets my house done I will be putting a trip together. Boat bilge broke looks from the hull last trip out, so have a little two part epoxy to put together. Once that is done im ready to run. Would be nice to get some coverage once that water pushes in another 20 miles or so. Anyone else? |

That hot plume of water outside the 1908 is some seriously blue water as well. Wind stops and we get a push that water will be off the donut in no time! Also connected to the outside water ... holding? My guess is of course it is! |

There is a brand new RV park in MB right next to the High School on Hwy. 41. Across the street from the old Flippos's roller rink. It's not much for "charm" as it's all gravel and hook-up posts, but I've only seen 1 RV in it so far. I'll try and get the phone number tomorrow and post it. It looks to be about 50 or so spaces side-by-side.

SST/Chlorophyll
Checked out the big picture (NESDIS), Terafin (MORRO) and the cholorophyll (MORRO) and it really looks good at 122/34, connected and 88nm and closing !! When this wind stops we should see a jump in temp of at least a couple of dergees. |

Stace,
Cant make the trip. If it ends up happening say hi to Uncle Dayle! He will be on the trip if it happens. Guy is 85 years young and was a commercial fisherman for 30 years. Fished solo from the tip of Mexico to Washington for Tuna and salmon. Has a million stories to tell and I have enjoyed each and every one! Guy is amazing wish I could fish with him on this trip but have other obligations that weekend. |

Wow that San Quintin sounds like a great trip!!
I was planning on spending the 4th of July in Morro Bay and was going to bring my travel trailer to camp. Montana De Oro, Morro Bay State Park, Atascadero are booked. What private camp grounds that accept trailers are there around Morro? Worst case I camp out at the boat launch, I'm sure Jay won't mind.

Hey guys,
I just got involved with a trip to San Quintin Mexico a couple of days ago, the problem is that we don't have enough people to make it work. I haven't been there, nor have I gone on a trip with the guy that's organizing it, But I had a couple of beers with the guy today and told him I'd promote it for him, I'll be paying the same cost as anyone else that goes, $495. I just want to see that he makes his minimum and that the trip will happen. I have already contacted Hather and his people that deals with FR.net and will be paying the fee for advertisement which should appear soon at the top of the page.
"Drinkin & Fishin with Stacey in San Quintin"
Modify this as you wish:
The Cost is $495 per person which inludes:
Round trip transportation from Paso Robles (beverages/snacks on the way south)
3 nights motel dbl occ
2 Days panga fishing (3 people per panga)
Banquet..... Door Prizes.. T-shirt

I'm sure a number of you guys got this email from dfg, for those that didn't here it is:
2005 Sport Fishing Regulations Supplement Now Available Online
Ready for salmon season? Got your 2005 Ocean Fishing Regulations booklet in hand? Not so fast! If you haven't read the Regulations Supplement booklet, now available on the Departments Marine Region Web site at www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/oceanfish2005supp.pdf , you may not be as ready as you think!
Every year in April, the Pacific Fisheries Management Council finalizes the recreational and commercial salmon seasons for the remainder of the year. And every year, the Sport Fishing Regulations Supplement provides both freshwater and ocean anglers with final regulations for the recreational salmon season for the remainder of 2005, along with any freshwater and ocean regulations that may have changed since the first of the year. Hard copies of the supplement will be available at all DFG offices and wherever fishing licenses are sold by mid-to-late June.
Features of the 2005 Sport Fishing Regulations Supplement include:
- Ocean salmon season regulations for the remainder of the year
- Information about abalone permit report cards: this year, perforations were inadvertently omitted when the cards were printed. It will take a bit more effort for abalone fishermen to punch the required holes in their abalone permit report cards.
- A review of April in-season changes to recreational groundfish regulations, including an updated groundfish management area map and updated groundfish regulation summary tables
- Salmon and steelhead ID illustration
- Canary rockfish vs. vermilion rockfish ID illustration
- Information about coded-wire salmon tag recovery
- New gear, size, and bag limit restrictions for the Klamath River salmon and steelhead fishery
- Updated maps of the Klamath River Special Regulation Waters showing specific areas affected by regulation
For more information about ocean salmon fishing go to www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/oceansalmon.html
For more information about groundfish regulations, go to www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/bfregs2005.html |

Here is a link that shows a good comparision between the king and silver salmon for those of us who have a hard time remembering which is which. I hear there are some silvers being caught. Be wise and check.

Steve,
You must have made a typo because I checked the email link on my profile and it is correct. As for Terry, I will shut up... I was a bit shocked, however, that someone so concerned and so knowledgeable about fish would post a picture like that.
My apologies, Terry.

Dustin, Thanks for the tips, sometimes I go even though I know the time isn't optimal. A nice walk, I heard that using boiled sandcrabs works good too. supposed to turn them red, I'm going to try it sometime I'll post if it works. |

Mike,
Fish the incoming tide about an hour or two before High Tide. Motor Oil grubs or small sand crabs in front of or on the sides of rocks, anwhere there could be depressions. I use a sliding egg sinker with a 2ft leader. Red beads above your grub or sandcrab works well simulating row of the sandcrab. Those large slab females still should be in tight around hightide depositing their live young.
Great fun when the weather does not allow us to get offshore. Goodluck |

We fished salmon out of Morro Bay for two hours and caught 2 small but keeper kings and one silver in 120' of water about 40 down on Apexes. Weather was sloppy.

I salmon fished today for six small fish hooked by 8:30. Some of the fish were silvers. We stayed in front of the rock in 120 ft of water and got the fish 35 ft down on green Apexes. I hear there are some bigger fish in deeper water of about 360 ft. Despite a bad weather report the inside was fine, little wind, no whitecaps and a medium swell.

Hey Carl,
Harrell has all the links to coastwatch and can guide you through the process. I believe that Terrafin has done a great job with the chloro and once we get some on the water reports it will be all that we need.
I still plan on posting some of the shots during the season from a buddy down south that works with these programs extensivly. Here is a sample from last year ... little more defined as far as his mapping program. 
Let me know when your heading this way Carl ... have a little White Sea Bass search getting planned. |

Dustin or Harrell,
I have'nt used coastwatch since they changed their format. I didn't even know they had chlorphl shots. I can pull up a single SST shot but I can't pulll up a 5 day composite, or convert C to F. Can you let me know if these features are still availble? If so how do I navigate through the site? |

Only reason I was bringing up the colors by mg/cu is for those that used coastwatch and Seawif last year. Seems to me that the way the colors are depicted on terrafin can be a little misleading unless you pay attention to the mg/cu counts. Harrell correct me if I have this backwards the LIGHT BLUE water on Terrafin would be about the same as GREEN on coastwatch. Just want to make sure we are chasing blue water this year and not in that Split Pea Soup we all were forced to fish last year. |

Jeff's (Terrafin) color scale is somewhat different than coast watch, such as; terrafin yellow is 16 mg/cu meter where coast watch yellow is about 4 mg/cu meter and red is 100 and 50 respectively. Jeff's scale is on the image so pretty easy to use. |

I'm thinking about fishing for salmon next week, starting next Tuesday. Any reports of salmon in the area? I fished two weeks ago in the wind and caught three in two days. |

Water Clarity looks to still be "ok", at least better than last year at any given time. The temp break around the CSM bouy extending south looks to have broken up with no defined break as of yesterdays SST. I agree with Harrell that the fish will probably show around the 1908 area first and hopefully as soon as the end of the month.
Harrell,
What do you think of Jeffs color palet as per
milligrams per cubic meter on terrafin? Just wondering how close to coastwatch when comparing last years colors to terrafin this year. Sure looks like the majority of the water ouside right now is in the .40 area and if memory serves me correctly that was about the same water clarity as our first fish last season. |

Harrell, the view on the link is "the big picture" and you can't zoom in to see where the break is. I don't know if we're seeing the same thing, but if you use "wunderground" weather link for Avila and click on "marine" in the "features" section near the top, you can get a close-up of the temp change by clicking on the region. Don't know if that helps anyone, but it's just an observation. Marine forecast is available there too.

MIKE: Sorry to hear about the slow perch fishing, but sounds like your making up for it with salmon. Just got back in town from Deigo and a sisters wedding. House still not done so may have to move back over to Cayucos.
Let me know if you want to go hunt some Halibut soon, have a feeling they are getting ready to turn on in the usual spots.

Here is link to the NOAA SST contour composite charts. They show the big picture and my guess is that the LFT are not quite here yet. Maybe by the end of June and around the 1908 first. This wind has rolled the water over and the clean blue water is now out 50-60 miles.

Are the seals a problem when fishing tuna out 40-50 miles? Do the seals go out that far?
Can you hear a .30/ .30 out that far?
Just kidding Mr. Sneed. Heh Heh
Bayside in Santa Cruz reported that a San Diego boat landed 2 bluefin and 6 longfins Monday at 50-60 miles out of San diego. Is that any kind of an indicator for us?
Getting itchy,

Where did you buy that fish buddy? just kidding,
had some the first of the year but the fuzzy critters took them , oh well why we are on that sub they also eat lings , JR and I fished off Cambria FRI had a good fish on got him off the bottom 60 ft from the top he gained 200# took the swim bait and all, re rigged and caught a 18incher tossed it ,it never made it to the bottom, fur ball came up with it and swallowed it head first,

Paul, You really need to lay off of Terry Lilly. The guy has caught more Ling Cod out of a kayak then you will ever see. In doing so he has collected years of data which he has freely shared with CCFCC. You obiously would not know this as you have never been at any meeting regarding rock fish regulations.Your post reek of some serious sour grapes to me. Regarding your quips about being anonymous. I tried to e-mail this to your posted e-mail address but it is no good. Steve, Patriot Sportfishing |

The Store you may be refering to is the Tackle Warehouse 3536 Higuera St. I went in there today on a whim just to look around. They seem to concentrate on Bass Fishing, but they had a supply of salty stuff too. I got a their card, the ph# 784 0901
and they have a web site( haven't been there yet myself) www.tacklewarehouse.com, hope this helps. |
