Salmon net pens — the guests of honor have arrived

May 11th, 2012

Sixty-thousand fish, all a part of the fall brood and each about four inches long, were dumped from the truck, through a wide rubber hose and into a specially made holding pen that was about 54 feet long by 30 feet wide and 14 feet deep. When the operation was complete, the pen was pulled to a mooring between the inner and outer break of the harbor.
The delicate operation was quite a spectacle. A crowd gathered at the end of Johnson Pier to watch as the fish splashed into the pen and shimmered in the sun.
The work is a joint venture by the Coastside Fishing Club and the California Department of Fish and Game, and it is funded through private club donations and proceeds from the salmon stamp necessary to fish for Salmon in California waters.
Mark Gorelnik is a member of the fishing club’s board of directors. He said the project is intended to introduce the fish to saltwater while bypassing the hazards of the inland delta. Salmon populations had diminished greatly in recent years. Gorelnik credits the hatchery trucking program, in part, with bringing back salmon in large numbers. This year fishermen expect a banner year.

Kayak Salmon at Santa Cruz 4/24 by gabekap

April 26th, 2012

Hows this for a report!

Paddled out of the Santa Cruz harbor Monday morning. Started trolling when we got to the buoy. Headed another 3 miles out to 180 feet of water and hooked up with a 30 inch salmon. Perfect conditions, no wind, glassy water, partly sunny. Tried to find where all the motor boats were headed, but they were too far out. Still, more than happy to have hooked up with salmon. Did 12 miles in total, but my buddy has a sail on his kayak and he towed me home when the breeze picked. Nice buddy!
