PressTelegram.com Lobster season is probably the most important season of them all to California fishermen as shown by the number of Report Card Sales.

Courier Islander - Gillian Flaccus / The Associated Press HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - News that a sport-fisherman reeled in — and kept — a potentially record-setting mako shark off the Southern California coast earlier this week is making waves with conservationists, who berated the catch because shark populations are vulnerable to overfishing worldwide. The female shark caught Monday off Huntington Beach weighed in at just over 1,323 pounds. It was 11 feet long and measured 8 feet around its sizeable midsection, said Kent Williams, a California-certified fish weight master and owner of New Fishall Bait, where the shark was taken for frozen storage. Jason Johnston, of Mesquite, Texas, caught the massive fish after a 2 1/2-hour battle, the Orange County Register reported. Continue Reading......

Escape to Catalina

By Doug Hansen, Special to the U-T

This mid-September trip to Catalina doesn’t even compare with the last one I did, 25 years ago. What’s different this time? Everything. My wife and I have been traveling a great deal, and I’m familiar with 75 countries, but I have to tell you that our four-day stay in Catalina rivals any trip we have done.

During my last visit to Catalina, I made the mistake that many do — of just walking around Avalon, shopping and eating, spending the night and then leaving.

Digging up bay’s dirty secrets

Posted on August 14, 2013 by coastpostadmin3 in California Coastal Notes of Interest, Coastal Dweller Reference, Fishing, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Misc., San Diego, Surfing | Comments are closed

By Deborah Sullivan Brennan The San Diego Bay is scheduled for a deep cleaning next month, when shipyards south of the Coronado Bridge will dredge contaminated sediment to ensure healthier waters.

Toxins from industrial operations, shipyards and urban runoff have built up over decades, settling in the sediment. They are absorbed by small animals, fish and eventually people, especially frequent fishermen.

The dredging effort would remove 158,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the area in front of BAE and NASSCO shipyards near the Coronado Bridge.
