Riff Raff,
Do us all a favor and forget posting about politics. We are trying to forget about all that garbage. There are plenty of websites to get off on that crap.

Tim,
I sure as hell am not on Georgie's side. He's nothing but a damn liar. And, yes it is his fault that gas is $3.50. Duhhh! The guy supports big oil.
BTW Capps did not vote to attack Iraq and waste $350,000,000,000.00 (and counting)of taxpayers money on a pack of lies. I'd say she's a hell of a lot better than bush based on that alone. |

Chris Foster, In the regulation book for this year, salmon season closes Sept. 25th.. We fished today trolling the coke plant for 8 sand dabs, all released. Then ran back in to beat the weather. Maybe next weekend. |

Finally got to restless not to try so went out looking for albacore on Sunday. Followed the water breaks out 30 miles and got some nice breaks from 56 to 60 degree water. Put on 60 miles checking for nothing. Somewhat clean water out past 30 miles but dirty inside. Did see some dolphins and whales but no birds or bait. Billy Boy did have some nice bait that lasted the whole trip. Anything uphill was sloppy as the wind was 15-20. At least we got a good charge on the batteries. Maybe next time. |

Yeah, you're right Mike.....it's Georgie's fault and Andrew, Shirley, and Lois know what's best for all of us and taking this that direction with that response, it's most obvious as to what side of the fence you reside. |

Chris Foster--
I dunno! Woulda checked had we actually fished for them. Playin' Hooky whatsay? Know when does salmon closes?
Tuna fever needed a cure and Saturday sure made that happen. We made it out about 20 miles (6 past the old weather buoy coords) before it got just to snotty to fish. Washing machine conditions. 57 highest SST. Just couldnt get out there far enough. Ended up with limits of quality RF including 3 real nice vermillions off Pecho.
Sunday ended up with one ling 26" and two sand dabs (released) hali trollin. Nothing would bite anything even when FF loaded with marks. That's OK was hoping mainly for a whitey sighting but no luck there either.
Still waiting for a decent tuna weather window....Cloud out |

Tim,
If you're implying that allowing offshore oil drilling will bring gas prices down I think that you are dreaming. There aren't enough reserves out there to make a dent in demand. That's just oil company propaganda. BTW, as I recall, gas prices under Clinton were under $2. Now with Georgie boy it's well over $3 and going up. Hmmmm, "Mission Accomplished"?
In the article they said that they want to "pump agricultural wastewater contaminated with selenium from Central Valley fields to the coast, where it would be dumped two miles offshore into Estero Bay". Do you think that will be good for the fishing in the central coast? I don't.
Frankly, if we don't protect the environment we won't have any fish to catch (like the canary in the coal mine). Personally, I think that this right-wing knee jerk attitude about the environment is bad for fishing and gives fishermen a bad name.

Phillip. only one spill that has been publicized that I know of and that was about 30 years ago. Of course they drag that file footage out every time this comes up. No one ever takes them to task. By the way those rigs are fish farms, I used to fish them in So. Cal.

These people have their heads firmly planted so far up their asses that it's amazing.
We need to go in the opposite direction. I would lobby to see several offshore structures with responsible oil production. They, on the other hand, seem to be quite comfortable with near $10 per gallon fuel costs. |

Hi Caster,
Sorry about the sar dine comment. Just made me chuckle. I was chased right to the beach by a huge white shark while surfing in Solana Beach in 1969. He was trying to cut me off from land until it got too shallow and he ran aground and went berserk. The dorsal was three feet tall on that bugger! I have been dreaming about it since then. Only saw one other one while surfing off Santa Rosa Creek in Cambria about twenty years ago. I have seen a few tigers in Hawaii. I am glad to have all my appendages. I enjoy being in a boat these days.

No, My wife and I used to take our 15 ft canou out of Shell Beach and paddle out to the edge of the kelp beds, she would read a book while I fished, She had just commented that "We never see any big sharks out here" when I noticed a BIG shark cruising right under us, I kept quiet about it but it was too big not to notice. Well when she saw it you could probably hear the shriek all the way to Avila. She grabbed the paddle and was going to go berserk on that fish if it got any closer, but it circled a few times and buggerd off. That was about twenty years ago. |

I fished for about 4hours off Avila pier yesterday.... and caught everything except for whitey. I did count 17 seals at one point scattered all around the pier cruising through bait balls. Only one hit on a whole 10inch makerel... but it spit the hook after I set it. Great white, or sea lion. We'll never know! Channel 30 from the valley was there though. I'm tryin again this weekend |

Hey I hear Mr Whitey has shown up off Avila again. Here in Bakersfield it is all over the news. What's the story? Anyone seen him.
I have been saying for years that this seal population increase is going to make California Mr Whitey's favorite place to eat!!!! |

Fished PSL in the mini-Avocation today. Got a mix of sards and dines (actually chovies and dines) from deke and headed up to the pea patch. Slow day, but we did manage to put a 25" fish in the boat around 11 a.m. We caught it on a chovie in 40' of water. May have had one other halibut hit...but very slow overall. Only 1 short ling to the boat. John's forecast nailed it...light SE wind this morning, but built up to a strong breeze from the NW by noon. Ripping at 1 pm with the sheep out in force by the time we got off the water at 1:30. Doesn't look like good tuna weather.
best fishes,

Well think I'll fish inshore (salmon/hali/rock)Saturday and maybe Sunday, wait for weather to mello for tuna run. 30 kts on way back from donut sounds like -10 peg on the fun meter.

Here is John's (PGE) forecast ;
SEA/SWELL:
Hurricane John (115 knots or about 130 mph) is about 50 miles off the
Cabo San Lucas coast and is well to the east of the exposure window
for Diablo Canyon. This Hurricane is forecast to move west-northwest
into cooler waters and weaken. Tropical storm Kristy on the other hand
is in the window, but at 60 knots it too bears little threat to our area.
Swell trains from these tropical cyclones are only expected to average about
one foot (with a 10-12 second period) from (170°) along the Diablo Canyon
coastline on Tuesday through Thursday.
On the other side of the Dateline is Typhoon Ioke, the strongest Central
Pacific hurricane in more than decade. Classified as a Category 5 "super
typhoon" knocked out Wake Island's weather sensors on Thursday as it lashed
the isle with 155 mph winds with gusts up to 190 mph. This tropical cyclone
is moving northwest toward Japan. As this storm reaches the coast of Japan
on Wednesday, it is forecast to produced significant wave heights to nearly
50 feet with maximum wave heights approaching 90 feet. Ioke is the first
Category 5 typhoon to develop in the central Pacific since record keeping
began in the early 1960s, and it is the most powerful storm to pass through
the region since typhoon Emilia and Gilma, both in July 1994. Swell from
this storm is not expected to affect the Diablo Canyon coastline.
Increasing northwesterly winds along our coastline will continue to generate
a 3 to 5 foot northwesterly (300°) sea/swell (with a 5-9 second period)
through Tuesday. Gale force winds off the Northern California coastline
will generate a 5 to 7 foot northwesterly (300°) sea/swell (with a 5-12
second period) along our coastline on Wednesday through next Friday.
Combined with this northwesterly sea/swell will be a 1 foot southern
hemisphere swell (with a 16-19 second period) on Tuesday through Wednesday.
Overlapping this swell will be another 1 to 2 foot southern hemisphere
swell (with a 20-22+ second period) on Thursday, increasing to 2 to 3 feet
(with an 18-20 second period) next Friday and Saturday.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:
Coastal low clouds and fog will develop during the night and morning hours.
Otherwise, mostly clear, cool and breezy weather will develop along our
coastline during afternoon hours through Monday. Inland temperatures will
warm to the mid 90s to the low 100s this Labor Day Weekend as high pressure
in the upper atmosphere builds across the state.
The remnants from Hurricane John will give increasing mid to high-level
clouds and a chance for sprinkles on Tuesday through Thursday.

Weather is not looking good. Saturday 10 to 20 then 15 to 25 in the afternoon with gusts to 35 knot's. I can go whenever the weather comes down. I'll try and get some guy's from the All coast board to help with the hunt. As most of you know coverage is key and the more boats we can get the better are chances. It will happen. Gas up and be ready!! I am. Stuart |

George;
Check your email and let me know if you got what I sent.
Steve;
This is the time of the year when the big albacore start to show but they usually are hard to get on the troll. Stop on meter marks and soak sardines. We have caught a lot of them at the PSL buoy this way and the water does not have to be very clean.
Still can't tell what the weather might be. The marine layer is back in out there so no Chlorophyll shot today. |

Hey Stuart,
Psl does have bait. Mix of sards & dines. If planning on PSL launch its best to check the tide table. (Can't get out of there on low, semi-low tide due to sand) A few guys launch the day before and take a mooring for the night. Then get a ride out to their boat(s) by Deek, PSL HP, water taxi or sleep on your boat.

Their is good break at the old weather buoy but I cant see the water color. Its a short run if the weather picks up. Kind of a long shot but this season is slipping away and there's been little coverage due to weather. I'm still willing to check it out. Does PSL have bait? |

Donut: I'm in Sat if the weather stays reasonable
Will Bateman--thats great, glad to hear it! I read the whole thing (MLPA, MLMA and NFMP), looked at the picture of what was happening, and every alarm bell in my head went off. The problem is that MLPA is NOT what it appears to be on the surface, confirmed beyond any stretch of reasonable doubt by recent F&G Commision "hearings"--I was there at Sacto and Monterey. The video is posted on the web also anyone can see for themselves.
The letters below are GREAT, thanks to all for making your voice heard. This is going to be a protracted battle so don't give up--send those letters every chance, support CCFCC! Cloud out |

Graylight,
Count me in...although, I am not clear what Harrell meant when he referenced the SST and the "true picture" last night...is there a break or not? In any event, just need details...
I have not launched at PSL, is it better to run down from MB?..Any word on the bait situation? |

Harrell,
What about that break N of the old PSL buoy? 5 years ago that would have held fish. It maybe clean too?

SST/Chlorophyll/Weather
There are two places you do not want to be: Cabo this weekend and Wake Island today. At Wake they are talking about 50 ft waves over a 10 ft island. Hurricane John, a cat four, will be at or close to Cabo this weekend.
The SST we saw yesterday morning which showed the break at the donut was a false break due to the marine layer boundry. Last night's shot shows the true picture. We also had a good chlorophyll shot that shows some clean water around the donut area but also some not so clean water.
The weather forecasts/models are changing every six hours. Haven't seen any that look like 10 or less out there. More like 15-20 which is out of my comfort zone. |

The donut is at 34:44 and 121:40 and like Stewart said 56 nm to that break at the donut.
Don't think there is any bait at Morro bay yet. Deke had bait last I heard.
Not real sure of the weather. John (PG&E) said a little windy fri/sat but his forecast is for the inside. |

Steve & Cory;
I fish a lot with the VIRGS fleet I also have my own boat, but theres them days when you dont want to spend 2 hours cleaning up , let alone the fuel, so that why I fish with them , I have NEVER had a bad experience on any of the fleet there , the skippers are the tops and the deck hands are there for you , never disrespectful, after all they make there living on the public.
I dont think you can a better group of people to fish with.
I have never fished with the group out of port , but you know there is always a BAD APPLE in every barrel.
Anyway thanks virgs for all the great trips and I
look foward to many more with you.

That's cool Cory, I didn't think you were...but other folks were. Hopefully they'll do something about it.
I really dislike charter fishing just for that reason. I've only been on about 10 trips in my life, but on about half of those trips either the captain or a crew member was a jerk. They either yelled at the passengers or their own crew. Silly behavior in my opinion, especially when directed at a paying customer. definitely makes one want to get their own boat
Anyhow, I'll be fishing friday. Hope for a nice weather day and a trip down to Purisma, but may end up fishing halis inside if the wind doesn't lay down.
best fishes,
steve |

Harrell,
Thanks for mentioning that...I did run for tuna on first day up there. Pretty much was the reason I towed the boat north. The local report had the tuna possibly holding 40 miles off shore. A week earlier they were getting them at about 17 miles off shore I was told. In any event, I ran out over 50 and never found temp break...water seem to actually get colder. Did talk to a commercial guy who told me he found 62 degree water at 65 nm. Also, he put 44 LFT that same day in his boat from 25# to 50#. Weather on 8/21 was sloppy, wind came up, but fishable on outside. |

Don't dish on the entire Patriot fleet just because of one deckhand. Sal is a solid captain, and hopefully if he got the complaints himself he would do something about it. I think you guys should call down there and let them know.
Dustin and Joe on the Pacific Horizon are awesome. Very nice guys and willing to share info. I do marine biology field trips with them and they are great with kids and very professional.
best fishes,

Yeah Cory,... You're talking about the tall skinny kid I bet. I can't think of his name either. But he was a real A-H when our group went out too. Very disprspectful ! I've been fishin' well over 30 yrs... longer than this kids' been alive. And he's tellin' me how to hook a bait ??? Where to fish ??? Running into people (without even a I'm sorry) Excuse me... Whose the paying customer here ? That's why we'd much rather fish with any of the Virges' boats. John, Sharon, Michele, and Sam when he's around. And these class act captins don't put up with any crewmans' bullS&%$ |

Cool Mike B...I know they have a great skipper! but then they have a stupid punk ass deckhand. I didnt get his name, but I wish I wouldve. He disrespected ME and other customers on the pathfinder a few weeks ago. I love Patriot fishing, but in all my years of charterin' it, THIS GUY NEEDS TO GO. THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT. SINCE I DONT TALK %$#! behind someone back heres my # 805-305-9440 CORY FISH ON!! |

George;
Right now the computer models indicate saturday as the best day for a tuna run. Not flat calm but doable. I was wondering why you didn't go for albacore out of Fort Bragg. Weather ? |

I'd certainly would consider a tuna run, any other takers? What is the outlook on weather?
Other: Returned home this weekend after towing up to Ft. Bragg spending 3 days fishing last week. Caught limits on salmon (18 & 24lb.)two of the 3 days I fished. However, lost several hefty fish at net and several others just spit the hook..Overall fishing was not red hot, although, I must say it was off and on steady. Several other sporties had limits too. All in all it was worth the tow north. |

Bob. Kathy and I fished all the way down and out to the 213 and 295 but the funny thing is we scored all our fish at aprox 40 miles from Pt. Loma. If you are going, do feel free to e-mail me so I can provide you all the info and numbers. Btw: Wind has come up lately so the fish are kinda scarce/down. ?? |

Anyone thinking about a tuna run this weekend? Terrafin has been a blank since the 17th. Any clues out there as to the LFTs? This should be the time.

Mike,
This is likely what you're looking for. It's a link to the DFG Cal. Recreational Fisheries Survey.
