Talked to the DFG today - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Regor · 01-05-2012, 02:14 PM

I talked to the DFG today. They have one rep that they are pointing everyone to for all answers.

Here's some info for those who wish to use it.

The map below is for those who don't want to have to look up coordinates while OTW fishing, or for those who don't have a GPS.

This is only a screen shot of the shores and point, and not the Pier area and north.

The new State marine reserve (red) extends further (~350 yrds) offshore than the old state marine conservation area (blue) but they both originate off the same point above La Jolla cove.

Couple of notes:

~ The buoys are not DFG property. They are either City or County. DFG upper Mgmt is in talks with the City/County about moving them. Will it happen? Who knows.
~ Out of the 28 MLPAs, only 6 currently have buoys and the rest have just used (?) coordinates or landmarks or heresay
~ The coordinate closest to land (the cove) has not moved due to the latest MLPA action. The "Buoy" itself has moved closer (East) to the shores on it's own
~ Enforcement - as long as an effort is made to "try" and observe the new reserve via old buoys and/or landmarks, it's hard to enforce without buoy movement.

The city owns the buoys. As of a year or more ago, a consultant was responsible for their maintenance, which included keeping them anchored at the correct coordinates.

It's anyone's guess what will happen to them now. One thing's for sure - the state isn't going to take responsibility. If the city pulls the funding, the buoys will go.

The point of land that the begining of the area defined as the zone sure looks like Childrends pool to me, but I could be incorrect. Regor mentioned La Jolla cove, whiich is a different point. Which is correct?
Thanks
Chris

I think that Childrens Pool is next to that mark that says "seal rock". Just my guess

You are right - Children's pool is the best landmark to use for the furthest coordinate to the south.

The mention of the cove is where the buoy has been moving toward all by itself.
