Anglers’ Legacy to Be Featured
T
he San Diego Sportfishing Council
is featuring Anglers’ Legacy at Day
at the Docks. In partnership with
West Marine and the Port of San Diego,
the San Diego Sportfishing Council will
encourage visitors to “Take the Pledge,” a
promise to introduce at least one newcomer to boating and fishing in the com-
ing year. Fishing legend and lecturer Pete
Haynes and former Padre pitcher and
sportscaster Randy Jones will be on-site to
lead the effort to collect Anglers’ Legacy
Pledges. Those who sign up to become
Ambassadors will receive a trophy fish
poster to record details about their prize
catch, an Anglers’ Legacy decal and a
canvas boat bag from West Marine.
“As the spring fishing and boating season kicks off, we are pleased that the San
Diego Sportfishing Council will feature
Anglers’ Legacy at their annual celebration,” said RBFF president and CEO
Frank Peterson. “Our partnerships have
generated major momentum for the pro-
Anglers' Legacy, a program aimed at increasing
first-time fishing and
boating experiences, has
signed on more than
100,000 Ambassadors
nationwide since its
inception in May 2006
gram over the past year. As we introduce
newcomers to the sport, we contribute to
the preservation of our aquatic resources
and conservation efforts through the sale
of fishing licenses, fishing tackle and
boating supplies.”
“With the support of West Marine, I
am confident we’ll be able to add a significant number of Pledges to this valuable
RBFF program,” said organizer Catherine
Miller. “In addition to facilitating this
Pledge drive, we hope to raise general
awareness that as stewards of the sport
we have a responsibility to the future of
sportfishing to introduce newcomers to
angling.”
Anglers' Legacy, a program aimed at
increasing first-time fishing and boating
experiences, has signed on more than
100,000 Ambassadors nationwide since
its inception in May 2006. According to a
2008 survey of Ambassadors, most purchase approximately $140 in fishing tackle and equipment, $153 in boating supplies and accessories, and more than
three fishing licenses which support critical fish and wildlife management efforts
through the Sport Fish Restoration
Program.

Green Port
A
Green Port Program was developed by the Port of San
Diego to support the goals of the Green Port Policy
(http://www.portofsandiego.org/docman/doc_download/1391-green-port-policy.html) that was approved by the
Board of Port Commissioners in 2008. The ultimate goal of
the program is to achieve long-term environmental, societal
and economic benefits through resource conservation, waste
reduction and pollution prevention.
The Green Port Program unifies the Port’s environmental
sustainability goals in six key areas. Overseen by the Green
Port Program Steering Committee, the Port sets measurable
goals and evaluates progress in each area on an annual basis.
The Green Port Program both continues the Port’s existing
environmental efforts and expands these efforts through new
programs and initiatives.
Green Fishing Alternative
We are pleased to welcome a new exhibitor, Bioline Fishing
to the Port of San Diego’s Day At The Docks. Its latest product, Bioline Biofilament, is a low visibility clear biodegradable
fishing line made from 100% biodegradable polymer and is
TM
specifically designed to conserve the environment. Bioline
retains 100% of its tensile strength for 10-12 months on your
reel and is engineered to biodegrade within approximately 5
years. The reels in use for the Day At The Docks Kid’s Fishing
Adventure have been topped off with the Bioline fishing line.
Bioline Biofilament is available for purchase at H&M Landing.
For more information visit www.biolinefishing.com.
12 | Day at the Docks
US Coast Guard’s Special Purpose Craft — Law
Enforcement (SPC-LE) will be on display. SPC-LEs are
intended to operate from Coast Guard Boat Forces
units and Marine Safety and Security Teams (MSSTs)
with the following missions:
Defense Operations, Port Safety and Security,
Recreational Boating Safety, Marine Environmental
Protection, Enforcement of Laws and Treaties, Marine
Safety and Security and Search and Rescue.
The
Marine Life
Protection Act
In 1999, California Governor Gray
Davis signed into law the Marine Life
Protection Act (MLPA). The stated purpose of the MLPA is to improve the array
of marine protected areas (MPAs) existing in California waters through the
adoption of a Marine Life Protection
Program and a comprehensive master
plan.
That plan which has already been
implemented on the central coast, is
currently being developed for Southern
California and will create “marine life
reserves” with a “no-take component”.
This month several preliminary draft
proposals were presented. Although this
is the first round, the proposals will only
be revised two more times (and reduced
to three in number) by the stakeholders
before a preferred alternative is chosen
by the Blue Ribbon Task Force. Those
final maps are due by September, just six
months from now.
The “Round 1” draft marine protected
See MLPA page 16
Several of the
proposals are draconian
in scope and one, Draft
External Proposal C
would effectively close
off vast areas of ocean
in ways that would
destroy recreational
saltwater angling as we
know it.

area (MPA) arrays created by the three work groups of the MLPA
South Coast Regional Stakeholder Group (SCRSG) and draft
MPA proposals submitted by external individuals and groups
are now posted to the MLPA website
(http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mlpa/scrsg-dprops.asp)
Over the next few weeks, the draft MPA arrays and draft external proposals will be analyzed not only by the MLPA Master
Plan Science Advisory Team, but also by the California
Department of Fish and Game staff, California State Parks staff,
and MLPA Initiative staff and contractors, and will reviewed by
the MLPA Blue Ribbon Task Force and the public for initial
feedback.
Several of the proposals are draconian in scope and one,
Draft External Proposal C would effectively close off vast areas
of ocean in ways that would destroy recreational saltwater
angling as we know it. In San Diego County alone, Prop C
would permanently outlaw fishing:
• Along the entire La Jolla coastline
• Along two thirds of Point Loma
• Along the entire Imperial Beach shoreline including the pier
• Along a nine square mile area off Cardiff.
All recreational anglers are stewards of the environment and
advocates for sustainable fisheries and conservation. However,
we agree with a large number of Californians who believe that
excessive closures could have a significant negative impact on
local economies and our freedom to fish.
Sportfishing is our love and our passion, so don’t let your
favorite fishing spot be locked up forever. Get involved.
Participate in the process. Let your state legislators know your
concern. Go to www.keepamericafishing.org and find out more!
Fishing Trips Available from San Diego
T
he San Diego sportfishing fleet
operating out of San Diego Bay
offers the widest range of trips
found anywhere in the world. And the
season is year around! During the year,
of course, the fishing grounds and targeted species will vary according to the
season. Below is a sampling of the types
of trips that are offered and the accommodations you can expect aboard the
boats.
All the boats in the San Diego fleet
meet strict safety requirements. The
crews are licensed and experienced professionals who understand boat safety
and know the fishing grounds locally
and all along the Baja Coast. Boat personnel are always available and willing
to assist the novice angler as well as the
seasoned pro. Now, an explanation of
the trips –
• Open Party Trips are regularly scheduled trips for which individual tickets
are available for purchase. Advance
reservations are recommended.
Departure times may vary by destination and time of year.
• Private Charters can be arranged for
any size group. Choose from any trip
listed here or customize an itinerary
from a bay cruise to a multi day trip of
island hopping.
1/2 Day Fishing Fares*
Adults: $42
Children, seniors, military: $32
Tackle rental: $10.00.
3/4 Day Fishing
Available all year. This intermediate
length trip of nine to ten hours departs
from Point Loma Sportfishing and from
H&M Landing at 6:00 AM. Targeted fish-
ing grounds include the Coronado
Islands, which lie 14 miles south of San
Diego in Mexican waters, the Baja Coast
and offshore banks. When fishing in
Mexican waters, a Mexican fishing
license is included in the fare.Spring,
summer and fall trips target Yellowtail,
White Sea Bass, Calico Bass, Barracuda
and Bonito. Winter trips target Sand
Bass, Rock Cod and over 50 species of
bottom fish.
See FISHING TRIPS page 16
Half Day Fishing
These popular five to six hour trips
fish the coastline from Imperial Beach to
the Point Loma Kelp Beds according to
the "best bite". From Spring through
fall there are two daytime departures
daily from both Point Loma Sportfishing
and H&M Landing at 6:30 AM and again
at 1:00 PM. In the summer months an
additional departure is offered at 6:30
PM for a "twilight run". In the winter
months the boats run one trip during
the week leaving at 9 AM, returning at 3
PM and resume the two trips per day at
6:30 AM and 1:00 PM on weekends.
Summer & Fall Fishing seasons target
yellowtail, bass, barracuda, bonito and
flurries of tuna. Winter & Spring Fishing
Seasons target yellowtail, sandbass,
rockfish, sheephead, sculpin, white
seabass & barracuda.

FISHING TRIPS continued from page 15
3/4 Day Fishing Fares*
Adults: $95
Children, seniors, military: $85
Tackle rental: $15.00
Full Day Bottom Fishing
During the winter months these one
day overnight trips fish the Coronado
Islands, 60 Mile Bank or 43 Fathom spot
for more than 50 species of rock cod and
bottom fish caught locally, including red
rock cod, ling cod, cow cod and sculpin.
Trips depart at 11 PM and return late
the next afternoon or early evening. You
can count on bringing home a sack full
from almost any day's fishing. Trips are
available from H&M Landing.
Full Day Bottom Fishing Fares*
$135
Tackle rental: $21.00.
Full Day Coronado Islands
Available in Spring and Fall. These
one-day overnight trips run from 18 to
21 hours in length. Departing all three
landings between 10 and 11 p.m., they
return between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m..
Fishing begins at daybreak around the
rugged shores of the Coronado Islands
and continues until the early afternoon.
Usually preferred by the more experienced angler, these trips provide more
time at the fishing grounds and action
in waters less heavily fished than the
local coastline. In the spring and summer you can expect to catch a variety of
game fish including Yellowtail, White Sea
Bass, Calico Bass Barracuda and Bonito.
A Mexican fishing license is included in
the fare.
Boats operating on these runs are
equipped with bunks for sleeping while
enroute to the fishing grounds and have
full service galleys. Trips are available
from these member Landings: Point
Loma Sportfishing, H&M Landing, and
Fisherman's Landing.
Full Day Coronado Islands Fares*
Adults: $125-$175
Children: $80-$150
Tackle rental: $17.00-$20.00.
Full Day Outer Banks Trips
Summer and fall are the seasons for
these one day, 21 to 23 hour, overnight
trips. Targeting the migrating schools
of albacore, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna,
big eye tuna and dorado the season can
begin as early as June and run as long as
16 | Day at the Docks
November. These are the "headline"
game fish that make San Diego's summer.The one day trips depart between
10 and 11 PM and return between 7 to
10 PM the following night, depending
on the location and distance of the prior
day's fishing. The fishing grounds can
be anywhere from 30 to 100 miles offshore and can change on a daily basis. A
wide open tuna bite at the outer banks
provides for some very exciting fishing!If
the fishing grounds remain at 100 or
more miles, day & a half and two day
trips are often scheduled during the
summer season, offering the possibility
of staying longer in the fishing grounds
to take advantage of the bite. As on the
Full Day Coronado Island trips, boats
operating on these runs are equipped
with bunks for sleeping while enroute to
the fishing grounds and have full service
galleys. When fishing in Mexican waters,
a Mexican fishing permit is required and
is included in "Open Party" fares. When
fishing in US waters, a California fishing
license is required.
At the height of the season, when
demand is very high, several boats in
the fleet will offer what is referred to as
"limited load". For a higher ticket price,
the boat will reduce the number of
anglers that it carries in order to provide
an even more comfortable fishing environment for anglers.
Trips are available from these member
Landings: Point Loma Sportfishing,
H&M Landing, and Fisherman's
Landing.
Full Day Outer Banks Fares*
Adults: $175-$250
Children: $150-$250
Surface Tackle Rental: $17.00-$30;
Trolling Tackle Rental: $25.00-$35.00
Multi-day Outer Banks
Available Summer and Fall. Trips of
two to five days fish the outer banks and
the offshore islands of the northern Baja
Peninsula for Tuna, Yellowtail and
Dorado. Because you spend more time
in the fishing grounds and less time
travelling to and from, multi-day trips
are an exceptional bargain. Enjoy comfortable accommodations aboard boats
specifically designed for long range
cruising. See individual sportfishing
companies for current schedules and
pricing.
Trips are available from these member
Landings: Point Loma Sportfishing ,
H&M Landing, Fisherman's Landing,
and Lee Palm's Sportfishers.
Mexican Long Range Fishing
Multi-day trips of 2 to 21 days are
scheduled throughout the year, depending on the season. Shorter trips of 2 to 6
days are offered in the spring and summer months, while longer trip of 8 to 21
days are offered through the fall and
winter.Trips of 2 to 6 days will usually
fish 100 to 300 miles south of San Diego
in the coastal waters of Baja California
and the offshore islands of San Martin,
Guadalupe, San Benitos and Cedros.
Target species include albacore, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, big eye tuna,
skipjack, yellowtail and calico bass.The
longer trips of 8 to 12 days usually fish
300 to 1000 miles south of San Diego at
such places as Uncle Sam Bank, Alijos
Rocks, the 23 Fathom Bank and Thetis
Bank, where the targeted species
include yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, big
eye tuna, yellowtail, wahoo and dorado.
The longer trips of 13 to 21 days will
fish along the Baja coast and ultimately
fish islands south of Cabo where yellowfin tuna from 200 to over 300 pounds
and wahoo up to 100 pounds are caught
on a regular basis.
Long range fishing provides a special
brand of excitement. Fishing is usually
tuned for more and bigger fish. During
the trip fish are stored below deck in
refrigerated fish holds to keep the catch
in frozen pristine condition. Vessels
operating extended "long range trips"
are fully self-sufficient, provide comfortable accommodations, excellent food
service and carry the latest in electronics and fish finding equipment.
Multi-day trips will range in cost
between $175 to $450 per day and are
inclusive of all meals. Policies vary with
regard to the inclusion of the cost of
Mexican fishing permits in the fare from
boat to boat. All of the long range operations offer special tackle rental packages suited to the length of trip and the
species that will be targeted.More
detailed information can be found at
individual company websites.

sport in recent years and anglers are
finding that they can provide a unique
angling experience in both near shore
and offshore waters. OEX Dive & Kayak
Center will again be featuring ocean
going Kayaks, and providing seminars
throughout the day on this type of fishing. The M/V Islander, specifically outfitted to serve as a “Mothership” for

has trips scheduled this spring and fall.
In the water demos will be available
at Day At The Docks on a limited basis.
Children must be accompanied by an
adult. Inquire about availability at the
OEX Dive & Kayak booth at the top of
the dock at Fisherman’s Landing. A

Drawing to
Benefit the
Burn Institute
An annual Day At The Docks tradition is the THREE BIG opportunity
drawings to raise money for The Burn
Institute. Every year Day At The
Docks exhibitors generously donate
great prizes to make the raffles a success. This year is no exception.
Great prizes include fishing rods,
reels, fishing trips, jackets, tackle
boxes & lures, restaurant certificates,
passes to area attractions, bay cruises
and much more.
The Burn Institute is a non-profit
health agency dedicated to reducing
burn injuries and deaths in San
Diego, Imperial, San Bernadino &
Riverside counties. Founded in 1972,
one of the Institute's first accomplishments was to establish the
UCSD Regional Burn Center. Today
the Burn Institute continues to reach
thousands of children & adults each
year with lifesaving fire and burn prevention education; fund vital burn
research and treatment; and conduct
burn survivor support programs that
help children and adults cope with
the devastating psychological and
physical effects of their injuries.
The Burn Institute provides many
valuable services and is deserving of
our support. We hope you’ll join the
San Diego Sportfishing Council in
supporting their efforts by participating in one or all three of the drawings
held throughout the day.
