There was a post a while back asking when Virgs was going to do an exploratory albacore trip. I think it would be a cool idea for members of this web site to go out on a trip together when the wind lets up. Sort of a start of the season bash without each of us spending tons of $ on fuel in our own boats. A fun get together (which I will always endorse) and sort of a clinic on LFT fishing. Anyone in? Can Virgs do this?

I left a comment about what a superior job he performs for our community and a suggestion that john Lindsey continues to send the Diablo Canyon weather forecast out to all of us in the message field. Hopefully this will keep his weather forecast coming.

Wes;
John is a great guy and he loves albacore. If we get some this year for sure we have to get some to him as thanks for his forecasts.
Blackie jr.;
Coastside fishing club has already filed a law suit in regards to special interest funding/participation in the regulatory process. Mel (CCFCC) has also provide funds to them to support this legal effort. The case is scheduled for Oct and I'll let Mel give you the details.
SST/Cholorophyll
Doesn't look like the wind has turned the water very dirty..yet and the temps have not dropped too much.
If you look at the buoys from Oregon south you see Conception at 30 kts and the Oregon buoy at 3 kts . Oregon not only has fish but the weather too ! |

Here is part of the MLPA section from the DFG website which describes the relationship between the two groups.
Mel, is there any law which prohibits private "special interest" groups from directly funding efforts to restrict our fishing rights. This conduct is egregious.
Marine Life Protection Act
Central Coast Study Region
Department Preferred Alternative
California Department of Fish and Game
June 22, 2006
MLPA Initiative Process
In order to meet the above requirements, the Department and Resources Agency
entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Resources Legacy Fund
Foundation (RLFF) to develop a process that would ensure the timely implementation of
the MLPA. The MLPA Initiative was launched to conduct this process and set out to
achieve four key objectives to by December 2006:
• the development of a draft master plan framework (adopted by the Commission
in August, 2005);
• the development of alternative proposals for an MPA network in a central coast
study region (transmitted to the Department in April 2006);
• recommendations on funding sources for MPA implementation and management
(transmitted to the Resources Secretary in December 2005); and
• recommendations to increase the coordination between state and federal
agencies with authority to manage ocean resources (to be completed).
These products were intended to provide a strong foundation for completing the
planning and implementation of a statewide network of MPAs by 2011. The MLPA
Initiative included the following groups and organizations involved in the central coast
planning process:
Marine Life Protection Act
Central Coast Study Region
Department Preferred Alternative
California Department of Fish and Game Page 3 of 8
June 22, 2006
• MLPA Initiative staff (contracted)
• Department Staff
• Four volunteer bodies:
o MLPA Blue Ribbon Task Force (BRTF; an oversight body)
o Science Advisory Team (SAT; an expansion of the former Master Plan
Team with additional expertise), including a SAT subteam for the
central coast region
o MLPA Statewide Interests Group for providing advice on the initiative
process,
o Regional stakeholder group for the central coast region
• Peer review group
• Commission
Using the Commission-adopted master plan framework as a guide, the above groups
conducted a comprehensive effort to identify a range of alternative proposals of MPA
network components for the Central Coast to submit to the Department.
Pursuant to the MOU between the Department, Resources Agency and RLFF, the
Department had the following roles in preparing a preferred alternative:
• “The Department will receive from the Blue Ribbon Task Force the … proposal
for alternative networks of MPAs in an area along the central coast…”
• “…(T)he Department will independently review and make any amendments or
modifications to the draft documents that it determines appropriate…”
• “…(T)he Department will submit to the Commission for its review and
consideration the revised drafts as the Department's draft … proposal for
alternative networks of MPAs in an area along the central coast…”
These roles were consistent with the intent of the MLPA and the roles specified in the
MLPA for the Department and Commission. Specifically, the MLPA requires the
following with regards to a master plan including a preferred alternative proposal for
MPAs:
• “…The commission shall adopt a master plan that guides the adoption and
implementation of the Marine Life Protection Program…” [2855(a)]
• “The department … shall develop a preferred siting alternative that incorporates
information and views provided by people who live in the area and other
interested parties…” [2857(a), FGC]
• “…(T)he department shall submit to the commission a draft of the master plan…”
[2859(a), FGC] |

This is from the web site of the resources legacy fund who appears to be driving the DFG fish closure machine. Could the DFG have found a more leftist tree hugging group to fund the drive to close our fishing. The web address is www.resourceslegacyfund.org take a look for yourself to see who pulling the strings.
Take a look at the board and their backgrounds and ties to the radical environmental groups. Makes me sick.
Here is their mission statement....
The Resources Legacy Fund enables philanthropists and foundations to maximize their conservation outcomes through a wide range of donor services. We provide philanthropic interests with flexibility, effectiveness, and privacy so they can move more easily, quickly, and strategically to protect resources that hold significant value.
RLF is a 501(c)(3) public charity; all donations are tax deductible. We can help ensure that contributions go directly to specific projects, or, if you wish, we can design strategic objectives and research and implement a project for you. This approach provides opportunities for your investment to be leveraged with other sources of funding, thereby providing for a larger impact, and many times more lasting results.
RLF offers many advantages to donors, including:
Timing and Leverage
Much like a community foundation, RLF can serve as a donor-advised fund, enabling charitable contributions to be timed to gain maximum tax advantages. Funds contributed in this fashion can then be conveyed over time to the desired organizations for specific projects and activities. This approach also allows real estate transactions to be timed to gain the most leverage and the best price. RLF works with public agencies to maximize the effectiveness of projects and attract other dollars for worthwhile conservation endeavors. Because we can offer low-interest bridge financing for projects, we can further leverage contributions.
Grants Management
RLF can assume the responsibility of screening grant requests or identifying the best organizations to accomplish desired conservation objectives. We also provide flexibility to make a single large donation, which can in turn be allocated to help several groups or be directed at multiple projects.
Anonymity
With RLF, donors can retain anonymity, whether for personal or strategic reasons. For example, it's often more strategic for a large donation to a local or regional conservation organization to be anonymous so it doesn't signal that interest in a particular parcel is high — something that can drive up prices. We serve to mask contributions when desired or strategic.
Planned Giving
As a qualifying public charity, RLF can be used to set up Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT), or other planned giving vehicles. These devices are particularly attractive when highly appreciated assets are involved. They can be transferred tax-free into a CRT, with a generous lifetime income stream yielded on their full value, and an income tax deduction based on the value of the principal, ultimately going to an appropriate charity or conservation project. In addition, the fund can be used to pool investments by others who share common conservation interests. |

Fished PSL on the 4th for salmon early and the weather was great until noon. Had one big salmon pull immediately that did not stick. No other hits for two hours trolling around the red light. Came inside and caught some great rock fish for dinner. I caught a lot of canarys, which were released.

Just keep fishing where you always did , until they can put up fences, besides they dont have the manpower to enforce any of it now, just plead ignorance like so many others do.
The perch are biting also, fished yesterday caught a limit , but only kept five , no monsters , one even had babys , yea they all lived.

Friends: Rock fishing is a big part of my fishing-life. I am angered beyond belief at the proposal by our Fish & Game. The proposal is absurd, harmful and outrageous! The three main fishing areas that I frequent are Pt. Buchon, the area south of Cambria ... and the area just below and just above the Piedras Blancas lighthouse.
All of these areas will be closed to fishing if the proposal by the IDIOTS at Fish & Game are accepted. We have got to stop this destruction of our fishing rights.
You have been told that Ryan Brodderick is a "friend of the fisherman". After seeing their proposal which he supports and champions ... we know HE IS NO FRIEND OF ANY FISHERMEN ...
The CCFCC is open to your comments on how we can stop this horrible destruction of our rights.

Here is the DFG's proposal for MPS's in our area. Pt. Buchon, the Light House and part of the area off Cambria would be no fishing zones.

Same here on the old report from 6/19.
John's report has been invaluable and I for one, miss that link on this updated web page. It would sure be nice to have those reports where they could help us plan rather than observe what we already have seen. |

Here is John's report/forecast posted today.
================== DCPP Weather Forecast for Monday 07/03/06 ===============
SEA/SWELL:
Fresh to strong northwesterly winds will generate a 4 to 6 foot
northwesterly (300°) sea/swell (with a 5-8 second period) along
our coastline through Tuesday morning, increasing to 5 to 7 feet
on Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning.
Increasing northwesterly winds will produce a 6 to 8 foot
northwesterly (300°) sea/swell (with a 5-9 second period) late
Wednesday night and will continue at this height and period
through Friday, decreasing to 5 to 7 feet on Saturday, Sunday
and Monday.
Still not much activity in the southern hemisphere; so at least
another few days without much in the way of swell from that area.
A 1 to 3 foot southerly (190°) swell (with a 14-16 second
period) is expected to arrive along our coastline next Monday.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:
Fresh to strong northwesterly winds will continue through Wednesday,
increasing as an upper-level trough moves inland on Thursday.
The marine layer will burn off to the beaches this afternoon with
clearing developing late this afternoon through this evening. Highs
today won't change too much from Sunday, generally in upper 50s to
the low 60s at the coast, 70s to mid 80s in the coastal valleys and
the high 90s in the inland areas.
The marine layer is forecast to move into the coastal valleys again
tonight and tomorrow morning, with clearing by the afternoon hours.
The real question is whether the marine layer will move over our area
during the evening and night hours to partially obscure visibilities
for the 4th of July fireworks displays over Morro Bay and Pismo Beach.
The latest thinking is that the overcast will be stubborn enough to
at least partially obscure visibilities. Regardless, the marine
clouds should be extensive on Wednesday morning and that should lead
to some cooler temperature across the inland areas.
High pressure builds over our area next weekend and the northwesterly
winds looks to weaken a bit. That will produce warmer temperatures not
just in the interior, but near the coast as well. By early the
following week however, northwesterly winds should strengthen as the
high pressure ridge weakens which will lead to a cooling trend.

This day in weather history
1966 - The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of a sweltering heat
wave. The temperature at Philadelphia reached 104 degrees.
Afternoon highs of 102 degrees at Hartford CT, 105 degrees
at Allentown PA, and 107 degrees at LaGuardia Airport in
New York City established all-time records for those two
locations. (David Ludlum)
1987 - Lightning struck and killed three men playing golf on a

Fisherman's Beach is the last beach on the left as you approach the Portside Marine's boat launch....so left of the boat launch would be the answer. Kayak over to the Mello Boy for some live bait if you don't want to make bait. The beaches just inside the breakwater are kayak accesible and should hold the 'Buts too. |

Been away from the computer since friday: We fished PSL saturday for two 10# kings and one shaker. Also had two other huge take downs that did not stick. Fish were inside the red light in 100' of water and there was very little bait. I think it has all migrated into the bay, which is amazing. Sunday we had no hits at all for two hours of fishing and it was very lumpy, but still fishable. I will try again on the 4th.
All fish came on a pearl/green Apex behind a chrome dodger at 70' on the wire. |

Stacey;
Relentless and no end in site ! The computer models show at least another week of winds. To make it even worse they havn't blown away the marine layer long enough to get any good SST/cholorophyll shots. When we have srong winds like this for long periods it keeps the albacore out 100+ miles. I think july is a lost cause and now I am hoping for august! |

Is there going to be any break in the wind soon. Been looking at the sky cover forecast and can't see any prediction for a good terrafin.
Supposed to be a comet transiting the sky tonight around 945 or so if anyone is interested. |

Christine, PSL today had a close together swell, it was fishable till about 10:30. Then a move to the inside was a wise move.
Good Luck, Sheryl |

Fished salmon out of MB this morning from 7:00-9:00am.It was not as foggy and nasty as yesterday (when we turned around just outside the harbor).Visibility was pretty good today until 8:45 when the swell came up BIG and the fog landed at the same time.We did have one double hookup fishing 80-100ft down the wire, just north of the rock in 135ft.We got the king that was hooked on the hoochie/flasher and lost the fish hooked on the green Apex right at the boat while we tried to clear the first fish from the net.Both fish were about 10-12lbs.I metered lots of bait and salmon in close to the rock and absolutely nothing outside in the 180ft area farther north that we fished last weekend.I'll be back out early tomorrow with the expectation that the wind and swell will make for another short trolling day....jeff |

I would highly advise printing a copy of that website and keeping it aboard your vessel. It does say "potential methods," which will be left up to the discretion of the wardens to interpret.
Any wardens out there care to respond?

Interesting - I could swear that I just saw the question about sling shots (actually a wrist rocket)and seals in the WON - F&G section. The warden's reply indicated that you cannot use them. |

Department of Fish and Game
NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 06:070 June 23 06
Contacts: Bill Romanelli, DFG Office of Communications, (916) 554-3440;
916-212-1446-cell
Steve Martarano, DFG Office of Communications, (916) 654-5866
DFG PROPOSES 26 MARINE PROTECTION AREAS FOR CENTRAL COAST
The action is an important landmark in establishing better protection
of California's ocean habitats and fisheries
MAMMOTH LAKES - California took another significant step in protecting
its ocean resources Thursday when the Department of Fish and Game (DFG)
unveiled plans for new marine protected areas (MPAs). The department
provided the state's Fish and Game Commission with a series of proposals,
including a "preferred option," for creating a network of MPAs along
California's central coast.
"This action marks an important milestone in the state's effort to
improve the design and management of marine protected areas along the
state's entire coast," said DFG Director Ryan Broddrick. "It brings
California a step closer to meeting the goals of the Marine Life Protection
Act (MLPA) passed by the Legislature in 1999."
The options provided by the department are the culmination of nearly
two years of work by several stakeholder groups, a special Blue Ribbon
Task Force, a scientific advisory team and DFG, as well as substantial
public input and scientific peer review.
In addition to presenting to the commission the options developed by
the task force and stakeholders, known as packages 1, 2R and 3R, the
department has also forwarded its preferred option, known as "package P."
That package includes 26 marine protected areas covering more than 200
square miles, or about 18 percent of state waters in the central coast
region from Point Conception to Pigeon Point. While providing
significant new resource protection along the central coast, only half of those
areas and less than 9 percent of state waters in the region are
designated as "no-take" reserves. DFG held more than 30 meetings with
stakeholders, government officials and interested citizens to discuss its
recommendations as it developed package P.
"The task force and stakeholders did a Herculean job giving the
department some well-crafted proposals for consideration," Broddrick said.
"While reviewing them to ensure we could create enforceable boundaries,
reduce potential disruption to fishing activities, improve recreational
opportunities and meet the scientific goals of MLPA, we needed to make
some adjustments. The result of our input is package P."
The commission will review the department's proposal and alternatives
over the next few months and may adopt a final option later this summer.
The implementing regulations for the central coast MPAs will be
scheduled for commission adoption after the environmental review process is
complete.
The next step in the MLPA process will be a series of public meetings,
starting on Aug.2 in Sacramento, wherein the commission will discuss
and take public comment on the department's preferred option and the
alternatives. The commission is the official decision-making authority for
implementation of the MLPA. The commission will adopt the final master
plan and proposals for regional marine protected areas along with
supporting CEQA documentation and regulations.
In addition to the meeting on Aug. 2, the commission has scheduled a
second, special meeting for Aug. 15 in Monterey. Additional meetings may
be held in accordance with the commission's regular meeting schedule.
"I look forward to the next round of public participation as we look
to developing a comprehensive package with wide constituent approval,"
Michael Flores, President of the Fish and Game Commission, said. "We
have every intention of continuing an open and transparent process."
For more information on Fish and Game Commission meeting dates and
locations, log on to the commission's web site at http://www.fgc.ca.gov/.
About the Marine Life Protection Act
The Marine Life Protection Act directs the state to design and manage a
network of marine protected areas through a comprehensive program and
management plan. Its primary goals are to protect marine life and
habitats, marine ecosystems and marine natural heritage, as well as improve
recreational educational and study opportunities provided by marine
ecosystems. Marine protected areas include state marine reserves, state
marine parks and state marine conservation areas. For more information

Wasn't Me,
You're lucky 'IT' stayed in the water. Errow out of Cambria had one come over the transom of his boat. Stayed in his boat until he got to shore & had to unload everything out of the boat to turn it over and litterly pour the critter out. The seal had teeth marks along his side. Was likely a white scarred that lil' seal outa his wits. |

WASNT ME
We had a habor seal last year off Cambria in one of our spots that was out there EVERY time we were , he would just hang around and wait till you got a ling then he would watch until you released it , he would get the shorts before they hit the bottom , Blackie jr fought him for 15 min one day over a ling we just kept following and when he came up tp eat it we chased him back down, he finally let go and we got the legal ling back with only a rip in the gill plate.
We know its the same seal because he has one blind eye and a missing piece off a rear flipper.

Went up to the white rock before the winds and caught some nice reds and coppers. Not many legal lings but caught one of the biggest ocean whitefish we've ever seen, about 8 lbs. Has anyone else had a harbor seal steal fish on their line? I had it take a blue while it was still pretty deep and then it grabbed a ling and I fought it for about 5 min. trying to get my lure back. Thought both times I had a giant ling hitchhiker until the line swam to the surface. |

Good news and bad news!
The good news is the chlorophyll shots show lots of clean water as close as 20 miles. There is a really good looking 61-62 degree plume just out side the elbow that probably has tuna in it.
The bad news is there is no end in sight for this wind!! The computer models show it through next saturday. Just have to watch and wait. |

Fished Fishermans' Beach Thursday afternoon, from the shore, caught 15 halibut in 2 hours. Maybe I really don't need the boat after all. All the fish were short, the longest was 20". Only the second time in my life of catching halibut from shore. Also met Will Bateman, a good day all around. |

Here is John's weather report/forecast posted this afternoon.
Increasing northwesterly winds will generate a 4 to 6 foot
northwesterly (300°) sea/swell (with a 5-8 second period) along our
coastline this afternoon, increasing to 5 to 7 feet by this evening.
This northwesterly (300°) sea/swell will continue at a 5 to 7 foot
level (with a 5-8 second period) through next Friday.
Combined with this northwesterly sea/swell will be a 1 to 2 foot
southern hemisphere (220°) swell (with a 15-17 second period) this
afternoon through Sunday.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:
Northwesterly winds once again are expected to increase further
as they shift northward from Pt conception where they are currently
at gale force levels. Changes will be in response to a building surface
high off the west coast. This condition will produce a classic July
type of weather pattern (morning coastal low clouds and fog, burning
off by the late morning hours and increasing afternoon northwesterly
winds) through the Independence Day Holiday weekend and beyond.
Inland areas will see mostly clear and hot weather with above normal
temperatures. Paso Robles is forecast to reach 103 degrees today,
cooling to the 100 mark for the rest of the week.
An approaching upper-level low pressure trough will once again deepen
the marine layer beginning next Wednesday, with stronger onshore winds
and coastal cooling.
Note: Today is the last day of the 2006 rain season. We recorded
23.48" of precipitation this season which is above normal.

The ocean held off till 11:00, long enough to catch a couple of salmon 1 keeper, 1 small. Thanks Hardisty for the use of your lucky lure, he had a limit by 8:30. With any luck we will get in at least the same amount of fish time tommorrow before the weather shuts us down.
The fish were in 110 ft. of water 1 mile south of the red light, 90 ft. down on the wire.
Bye for now, sheryl |

SST/Chlorophyll;
Our albacore water is really shaping up good. We have clean 60 degree water as close as 60 miles and maybe even a little closer. AT Point Sur it is almost on the beach at 10 miles. When this wind lays down again, but probably not for a week or so, it may be time to go looking ! |

Here is John's weather report/forecast that he sent out wednesday. He should have another one sometime today. I will post it when I get it for the weekenders. Not looking very good for this weekend but a lot of times the inside water is ok in the morning.
================== DCPP Weather Forecast for Wednesday 06/28/06 =================
SEA/SWELL:
Today's 2 to 4 foot northwesterly (285°) sea/swell (with a 5-11 second
period) will continue along our coastline through Thursday morning.
A 3 to 4 foot northwesterly (300°) sea/swell (with a 5-9 second
period) will develop along our coastline on Thursday afternoon, building
to 4 to 5 feet on Friday. This northwesterly sea/swell will further
increase to 4 to 6 feet (with a 7-9 second period) on Saturday through
Monday. This northwesterly (300°) sea/swell will further build to
5 to 7 feet (with a 5-9 second) on Tuesday through Wednesday.
Combined with this northwesterly sea/swell will be a 1 to 2 foot
southern hemisphere (225°) swell (with an 18-20 second period) on
Thursday night, increasing to 2 to 3 feet (with a 15-17 second period)
on Friday through Sunday.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:
Most of the subtropical moisture from Mexico has moved north of our
area this morning.
A major change in the weather pattern will develop on Thursday as an
upper-level trough moves inland and a surface high redevelops off the
California coast. This condition will produce increasing northwesterly
winds. A pattern of night and morning coastal low clouds and fog,
burning off by the late morning hours, fresh to strong afternoon
northwesterly winds and below normal temperatures is expected to
continue along our coastline through the Independence Day Holiday
weekend and beyond.
Inland areas will see mostly clear weather and above normal temperatures
with Paso Robles reaching the high 90's through next week.

Looks like that water moved 15-20 miles inside of where it was. Good sign. |

Barry F.,
The latest Diablo weather report I can get is from 6/19/06 which is a week and a half ago. Are you getting a more recent one? Maybe there's something wrong with my computer. |

Jim,
Like Eric said, watch the "sloppy short-period chop". Even if the swell isn't up we get some nasty wind waves sometimes. My mom said they were bad this afternoon on her way in. |

Jim G:
Winds today out on Estero Bay were light-to-moderate NW, it varied all day from 5 to 15 knots. Not bad, but it's forecast to increase more and more in the next few days though. The swells are fairly small, probably 2-4 feet. Check the weather reports at National Weather Service, or the Diablo Canyon report which is always very accurate. You can always tune into the weather forecasts on your VHF radio too. Especially important to listen for is the Cape San Martin weather buoy. It's up off the lower Big Sur coast, and is an excellent indicator of what kind of wind is on the way here.
I'd say that if you're going tomorrow, go early and plan on a short day with 15-25 knots of NW in the early afternoon, if not sooner, and probably some sloppy short-period chop. The've got a small craft advisory posted now. Today cleared up, but very heavy fog has been a factor for the last few days too. Good luck.

Speaking of bait.... I fished off the pier in Avila tonight for an hour or two looking for some shark, but only found the biggest bait ball in the history of the world. Sardines and mackerel held tight there for at least 2 hours. Shouldn't be a problem for the bait boats to clean up in the next few days.
how much longer do we have for salmon? |

Rather than ranting, I went fishing today.
Fished out of Morro and made a quick run to Pt. Buchon at about 0645. First 4 drops yielded 4 Lings all measuring 23.98" of course! Just didn't feel right using the Ling Stretcher-outer on 'em. We started in about 100' of water. We caught maybe 6 more all just inside 24", no legals. We boated 14 nice Reds between the 3 of us before 10 a.m. and then headed in an attempt to act like we were all going to work! Wind was at 10-15 kts early then built up to nearly 20 for a bit then layed down by the time we headed back in. Swell was not bad and very manageable.
San Diego Tuna report: I just got home yesterday from a 2 day on the TopGun 80 out of H&M. The bite was on mid week last week until that southern storm wreaked havoc on the fishery. The trip that came in on TopGun right before our departure spent 2 days and had ONE Blue Fin and we were bummin'! Turned out no tuna for our 2 day but we did stick about 80 Yellowtail off the patties and scores of Bonies on the troll most of which were released. Fun trip even without the Tuna. That boat, which is owned and operated by Bob Taft is one hell of a nice vessel and it road through the snot fantastically. I'm back on in 30 days for another attempt.
Moorefish, et al. Regarding Megabaits.... word has it that they are being sued for copyright infringement and they are soon to go belly up due to the cost of the fight. Megabaits will be no more. I left a few at the local Wally-Mart for those in need. I think what I have in my inventory now shall last till the end of time. |
