WSB RELEASE Saturday 3-12
 

It's that time again...our babies have outgrown their tanks in Redondo and they need to be set free to head down to La Jolla to be caught by Deamon.
These are some big fish, averaging at least 12" long...these are some of the biggest WSB I've ever released.
We'll need a bunch of vollunters. Since the fish are so big we can only net 4 fish at a time to transfer to the mobile tank...and it's going to take most of the day to net and transfer all 3000 fish to the harbor.
I'm not sure of the start time yet...so I'll post it as soon as I get it. My advise would be to spread out your arrival times to last during the day so that we don't have a bunch of volunteers in the morning and then run out of help later in the day.
The growout tanks are at the SEA LAB facilities in King Harbor across the street from the power-plant off of Harbor Drive and Yacht Club Way...just tell the parking attendant you are there for the WSB release and he'll let you park in the lot free.
I'll be at the OEX Demo Day in Sunset Beach working for Hobie so I can't make it...I would appreciate it if someone would take some photos for our CCA newsletter.

Yeah I'll be there!

For all that we take from the ocean, sometimes we have to give back once in awhile.

Will do whatever I can to help.

"Hey man, a bit confused. Are you loading them in a truck and driving them to LJ for an easy transfer or is the facility right next to the harbor."

Sorry Jim/Deamon we won't be delivering the fish directly to your house :D :D

The fish are netted at the Redondo Beach/King Harbor grow-out pools (we have about 1500 fish in each pool) then transfered to a tank on a truck and once the tank is full of fish (about 500 or so) the truck travels about 200 yards to the docks near-by which are adjacent to an access road.
We connect that white pipe that you see in the photos to the tank, start a pump, and get some water rushing down with the fish as they are released into King Harbor.

What it's like
 

If you haven't volunteered releasing seabass before this is what it's like. Hope to see some other BWE members this saturday to help out.

Guys, if you plan on attending please remember that the work area is extremely tight, having people(especially kids) hanging around makes it difficult to work. It's cool that parents like to bring their little ones but when you're trying to setup nets/crowders around the pen people that are there to watch to do more harm than good.

Jim!

With grateful sincerity...THANK YOU and others for your efforts on this program. What used to be a "once in a lifetime catch" may soon become...dare I say...regular catches for all! :notworthy:

Thanks Deamon
 

Thanks Jim / Deamon...it works for me...I'll put em in and you take em out:cheers1:

Team Sewer will be there as soon!!

Early bird gets the best parking spot.

Start time...10am Saturday
 

We'll be starting at 10am on Saturday.

This was taken from an e-mail I received today from Hubbs...
"Based on tank volume and our best estimate of size, it looks like it will take 6 loads (3 for each of your tanks) to get all the fish out. We only have 1 tank available that has large enough drain fitting to accommodate these large fish. We will be renting a trailer to tow the tank up there."
"Sat. March 12 around 10 AM Hubbs will arrive, depending on traffic. We will need some volunteers to help. Netting fish will happen a little later since we have to fill Hubbs tank with water. Due to size of fish will take 5 or more hours. So those who might want to come later is good. Same story, we net fish, bring to tank, when full drive down to F dock and release them. Hubbs is bringing a electric pump to help fill their tank, some nets, big green net, clickers, hose, etc."

I know Tony and Jorge are kinda down on having kids in the work area...but please bring them and have them watch the process or help net the fish if they're old enough.
Kids of all ages love to see the fish released into the harbor. We need to include the little ones as that's our fishing future...!
All are welcome...!
Thanks for your help...:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

my boys and i will be there!

Luckily our pens in Channel Island still welcomes them...

I'm getting tony to take them out back, he'll put them in their place

Momo fish is runnin' his mouth alot lately isn't he...?

I just noticed something though...your kids look nothing like you... might want to have a talk with the mailman Steve and your gardener Chuy...

You know what momo...at least you have helped out with the program once or twice to your credit...

I thought Tony was legally prohibited from being alone with kids.

Maybe wiggleworm or luv2tug can spend some time with him



My son has a soccer game right in the middle of that time in Brea. Looks like we are out.

Learning from the best !!!

Once or twice? You gotta be the only Asian guy I know not good at math... Been helping for a few years.. I just don't brag about it 😊😊😊

Still love you the way I love Taco Bell burritos... Enjoy it at the moment but always end up taking a big dump later..

Strong words momo...

Who's bragging...? Just promoting, is there a problem with that?

WSB RELEASE Saturday 3-12
 

You gotta be able to take what you dish... Thought that was rule number 14 for team sewer..

But promote away.. We don't want to encourage the next generate or anglers/conservationist by showing or exposing them to these programs you know cause they may get in the way..

Actually I'll just have them watch the videos..

Like I said.. Still love you Tony!

This is obviously a big joke to you isn't it momo...

It's not my job nor anybody else's job to teach your kids to be anglers or conservationists...that's up to you. Don't let us stop you from volunteering, bring you kids too, have them get in the way...we don't speak for the program. Since we've done it a time or two we seen what can happen when young kids try to help...yeah they get in the way. Does that make me an asshole for pointing that out? I guess it does...
