YOUR ACCESS AND FISHING IS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 03-05-2009, 10:36 AM

All of the large, preservationist proposals show La Jolla as a state marine reserve totally closed to fishing. The fishing-friendly plans retain the existing MPAs virtually as-is, without expansion. You'll find the same situation up and down the coast.

This story is far from over. If you don't want to lose your key fishing areas, please plan on attending upcoming public workshops and meetings. More info on the proposals and meeting schedule in this post:

Holy crap!

If the Enviros proposal went through, that ends ocean fishing for good. Might as well not wet a line.
It's like they are eliminating all the best places to fish.
Rocky Point gone, La Jolla gone, a good percentage of Catalina & San Clemente Islands gone, etc. All the places I've had great memories and experiences.
This sucks.

It's getting worse guys..........check out the photos on this page, kiss South Casa goodbye as well if the enviro-seal whackos have their way like they did with the Children's Pool.

If this goes through I will be offering spots on my boat to fish the Nados. Only problem is I can only fit about 2 kayaks on it. This is lame! They need to just make stricter take rules.

I agree, and I am all for stricter limits and banning certain commerical harvesting techniquess instead of no fish zones. That strategy has been proven to work in other fisheries (such as FL). But I think at least some of the people on the "other side" actually want 100% closures to all fishing - period. They're just against fishing and prefer we all eat tofu. I don't think stricter limits would satisfy them. That being said, I'd personally like to get more involved and don't want to discourage anyone else from getting involved by going to meetings, voice their opinion, etc.

This will keep you up on the latest on the process. You can also view online arcives of the last meetings which will give you a feel of what they are like.

Then be ready to give the time to come to the Stakeholders meeting in late June or early July and October to show your support for our fishing areas by attending these meetings.

I agree 100% but my point is that they (FOS) are after more of our fishing/diving spots. They have already convinced the city council to amend the charter for the Children's Pool. Now that there are a couple of seals hauling out at S.Casa they will want to claim that beach too.

Perhaps state gov'mt. has already predetermined closures and these meetings are just a formality to satisfy us true americans? Don't know,don't wanna know... closures or not I'm still fish'n !

Get out early come back late... I just started catching YT from the yak last summer only 4 total. I'm all for tighter regs but this is way to tight. I thought my license was pricey this year I Can't wait to here how much it is going to cost me to fish after the closer.
