Anglers who have a local knowledge" of the seasons and locations of good fishing areas usually are the more successful ones, but most realize that pinpointing the. exact location,season, and timefor ratching a certain species of fishis impossible. This' is due to seasonal variation in the geogranphical distributiin and quantity of stocks of fish available, which. 'inturn, is a result A changes in the total marine en- vironment (temperature. salinity, food, etc.), and the biologica4 success of each specie4 inthe competition for survival. Even so. certain species usually are taken in generally well defined fishing areas:;some may be taken only during a certain seasonal period while others may be present throughout the year. The purpose of this Guide is to provide a'general source of infor.mation on those areas that are more frequently fished and the species of fish that are commonly taken. The geographical scope of this Guide covers the Marine and estuarine 4 waters along the coasts of California. Oregon. Washington. Alaska. Hawaii. American Samoa. and Guam. These have been arranged in five sections according to similarities in their fisheries (Figure 1): Section ISouthern California Section IINorthern California Section.IIIOregon and Washington SectionIVAlaska Section V-- Pacific Islands 4,ich .of the five sections contaliTh a series of coastline fishing charts that outline offshore. bay. and shoreline fishing grotinds and give locations of marine sport fishing facilities (all are subject to change from year to yearsui.h as snort fishing boats (party.or charter). boat launchuig sites. fishing piers,skiff rentals. and jetty fishingsites. These facilities are de Mated by numbers on the chart which correspond to a table on the oppo. Also accompanying ,each chart is a general description of the chart area, and notes thaupplement the chart information concerning some of the common game fishesnd,thetr availability ti? the angler. U is important to realize tha marine game fishing is the only segment of the U.S. fisheries that has grown rapidly during the past 15 years. In 1960 the first national marine angling survey was made. It reported an estimated 1.4 million marine anglers along the west coast from the Mexican border to Alaska catching over 79 million fish. By 1965 the number of marine anglers had grown. to almost 2 million (1.977,100) and thecatch to over 87 million fish. The 1970 survey showed over 2million (2.205,000) west coast marine anglers who caught over 61 million fish. Thus, during the past decade. the number of west coast anglers has increased 640/0; howevbr, the number of fish caught, as reflected in the 1970 survey has not kept pace with the increased angling pressure. This increase in angling pressure is to be found throughout the central and eastern Pacific, with a 34°/o increase in southern California. which has 400,0 of all marineangling along the west coast. A 470/o increase was found from central Californianorthward into Alaska. an area which accounts for 60°/o of all west coast fishing. Effectivelong-rangeplanningformarine game -fish sconservation programs wind associated researchactivities must be based on a thorough knowledgeofthescopeand magnitudeoftherecreationalfishery resources: seasonal distribution offish; the operating sport fishery and its fishinglocations;thelocation.type.and number of fishingfacilities -available; and inforrnation on the values thatanglers attach to the various facets of the sport. The task' of obtainingsuch knowledge is a formidable one. We hope that thisGuide,in bringing together many fragments o information into a single source book, will prove useful toagencies involved in this task. and at the same time provide the publicwith a convenient means of utilizing the existing recreationalfishing facilities and learning more about the available opportunitiesfor marine game fishing. 'FYN'S OF FISHING Pacific marine game fishing is centered near. the coastal population centers. An abundance of desirable game fish is usually available alotigIall coasts in the ocean, bays, and brackish-water areas, depending on the place and season of the year. Over 300 speCies are commonly taken by marine anglers who fish the west coast and Pacific Islands; in addition, they incidentally catch many other species. The sport angler has five types of "fishing---pier fishing. rock or jetty fishing.-surf or- bank fishing, private boat fishing, and sport boat (party or charter boat) fishing. The type of. marine environment fished usually dic- tates what species are most likely to be caught. The marine angler must take this into consideration by use of suitable equipment and careful, . .selection of bait or lure to achieve the greatest chance for success. A diversity of fishing gear is used by the Pacific angler, with con- ventional hook and lihe being the most common method of fishing in all areas. In addition. "A"-frame beach seines are used for smelt;poke-poles for fishing blenny eels, cabezon, and octopus in rocky areas; and traps for fish, crab, and shrimp. Nets for sandy-shore and reef species are commonly used in the tropical Pacific. Bare hands are used for grunion in southern California. Other catching methods for marine life are hunting and spearing of fish by divers, "picking" abalones along the shore at low tide, and gathering of rock scallops, abalones, lobsters, crabs. and sea urchins by rs. 2 divers. There is also fishing for rock and Dungeness crabs with hogp nets, and digging clams along the shore and' in bays: Fishing for shellfish and other invertebrateS, however,isnot considered in any detailinthis Anglers' Guide, whrch focuses mainly on true fishes. 41, CHOOSING A FISHING AREA If you are unfamiliar with an area, there Elie a few basic criteria that should be usedinselectinga placetotry your luck. Knowledge of hydrographic conditions(tidalflow, bottom types, and depths)is most important whether you are fishing in the open ocean, nershore, surf zone, .tidal inlets, bays, or in the intertidal portion of a river.

The arduous task of beach seining all year around was shared by many members of the California State Fisheries Laboratory staff; we are particularly grateful to Mr. Parke H. Young and Mr. John L. Baxter for their willing and continued help throughout the years. Mr. Frederick B. Hagerman was project leader for the first year of the investigation, until his recall into the Air Force, and he gave the project an excellent start. Many others gave help and advice, notably Mr. John E. Fitch, Mr. Phil M. Roedel, Mr. David C. Joseph, and Dr. F. N. Clark of this laboratory. Dr. Carl L. Hubbs of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla gave valuable advice, and we are indebted to the late Mr. Conrad Limbaugh of the same institution for accounts of his observations on surf fishes, and for SCUBA diving instructions.

  • Section 3.4 Biological Resources 3.4- Biological Resources
    SECTION 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4- BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section discusses the existing sensitive biological resources of the San Francisco Bay Estuary (the Estuary) that could be affected by project-related construction and locally increased levels of boating use, identifies potential impacts to those resources, and recommends mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts. The Initial Study for this project identified potentially significant impacts on shorebirds and rafting waterbirds, marine mammals (harbor seals), and wetlands habitats and species. The potential for spread of invasive species also was identified as a possible impact. 3.4.1 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES SETTING HABITATS WITHIN AND AROUND SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY The vegetation and wildlife of bayland environments varies among geographic subregions in the bay (Figure 3.4-1), and also with the predominant land uses: urban (commercial, residential, industrial/port), urban/wildland interface, rural, and agricultural. For the purposes of discussion of biological resources, the Estuary is divided into Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, Central San Francisco Bay, and South San Francisco Bay (See Figure 3.4-2). The general landscape structure of the Estuary’s vegetation and habitats within the geographic scope of the WT is described below. URBAN SHORELINES Urban shorelines in the San Francisco Estuary are generally formed by artificial fill and structures armored with revetments, seawalls, rip-rap, pilings, and other structures. Waterways and embayments adjacent to urban shores are often dredged. With some important exceptions, tidal wetland vegetation and habitats adjacent to urban shores are often formed on steep slopes, and are relatively recently formed (historic infilled sediment) in narrow strips.

    1 San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Site Description for Dunphy Park / Cass Gidley Marina Location, Ownership, and Management: Dunphy Park is a shoreline park owned and managed by the City of Sausalito. The small beach within the park has long served as a popular launch for paddling on Richardson Bay, to Angel Island, and beyond. The historic Cass Gidley Marina is located along the northern side of the park. Dunphy Park is currently undergoing major renovations anticipated to be completed in 2020. Similarly, the Cass Gidley Marina is being redeveloped into the Sausalito Community Boating Center, which will provide access for paddlers and programs for small sailing craft. Contact Name: Mike Langford, Parks and Recreation Director Contact Phone: (415) 289-4126 Contact E-mail: [email protected] Dunphy Park Beach (2019) Dunphy Park Beach (2005) Cass Gidley Marina Facility Description: The non-motorized small boat (NMSB) community has long used the beach at Dunphy Park for launching and landing. Historically, users would park in the unpaved parking area and use adjacent lawn areas to laydown equipment before launching from the small beach. Dunphy Park is currently being redesigned (Fall 2019), which will include improved water access facilities. As part of the Dunphy Park redesign, an ADA ramp and path of travel for beach access will be installed. Steps down to the shoreline will also be provided adjacent to the ramp. Additionally, new ADA restrooms will replace existing portables and parking will be reconfigured to expand capacity and allow better flow. A boat washdown and drinking fountain will also be installed.

Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.
