MLPA: Close-up closure maps at WON - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 01-25-2011, 05:02 PM

Detail maps of the pending South Coast MLPA closures are now available at the Western Outdoor News website. http://www.wonews.com/Blog.aspx?id=910&AuthorID=59046&t=MLPA%20MAP%20UPDATES:%20WON's%20exclusive%20maps %20%20detail%20SoCal%20borders

The maps are zoomed in closely along the MPA boundaries to make it easy to determine their locations by landmarks.

You'll also find the fishing regulations in plain English.

This is still a work in progress. If you find an error or need clarification, please let me know. This is meant to be an easy to read 'cheat sheet' for anglers.

Getting a "server error in application". Does this mean that too many of us are trying to view the page?

What a JOKE, the best spots in LJ are closed. I can't even fish in my front yard! Boat or kayak makes no difference. Somehow these liberals need to be stopped.

mtnbykr2 · 01-25-2011, 05:52 PM

yeah,
when you click on the maps it disappears, I will have to check it out when I get home...but it aint over till its over keep the faith...

deepdvr · 01-25-2011, 05:58 PM

Guess I'll have to call a 40lb. YT 'finbait' after I land him north of the pier. I'll tell DFG I was planning on re-baiting him for a shot at the taxman.

Works for me, although IT was working on the site earlier today and could be back at it.

Yeah, all these regulations, what impact can kayaks anglers do to ecology specially to those migratory fish and how many you can catch or fit in you kayak; freedom is only a word & a fishing license is only $48.35

I can't even tell what part of la jolla is open, it just looks like the area around the pier is open while everything else is red.

^It is bad, no denying. If we hadn't fought tooth and nail, we would have lost all of La Jolla. That didn't happen.

Here's the deal. When and if this goes into effect, the north-south reserve line will be pushed out to the point. From there, you can fish south to the end of Windnsea and north and west as far as you want. Going north is a thing of the past unless all you're after is bait or you don't mind paddling up to the Glider Port.

Look at the La Jolla overview map. I'm taking about that big open space between the two MPA clusters (that last word is SO appropriate).

I don't mean to undersell the impact, which is huge. BUT - it is just plain wrong to say all of La Jolla is going, going, gone. We retain access to the most popular sections. I can't tell you how much effort that took, into the 1,000s of man hours from the hardcore at of BWE, Baytubers, KSF, etc.

That isn't good enough to me, so I support the Ocean Access Protection Fund - a legal war chest for anglers. You should too.

Don't forget Keep America Fishing either, another worthy place to send money to battle this thing.

Human nature being fickle as it is, I wonder how many of those who *vowed* not to renew their fishing licenses for 90 or more days will actually do it? Excuse being, "There is still a sizeable fishing area left in LJ off wind and sea". (not that the action would have any impact anyway).

FISHIONADO · 01-02-2012, 08:57 AM

Some of you people were completely silent and absent during the MLPA fight. Who gives a rats ass what you think now? Thanks for all the help, go complain about it somewhere else. I salute my fishing brothers and sisters who took the time to participate in the fight.

james92026 · 01-02-2012, 10:46 AM

Not diminishing the efforts of those activists who did participate in some fashion whose efforts may have made some worthwhile difference. I was only tongue-in-cheek observing those who think that not purchasing a license for a while would make an impact, only persons hurt by that would be themselves. Self deprivation seldom affects anyone other than the initiator.

FISHIONADO · 01-02-2012, 11:00 AM

Hey James, my comments were directed at folks who have been on this forum for years but were silent during the MPLA process. I still wish them a very Happy New Year, but let's be real.

james92026 · 01-02-2012, 11:23 AM

Oh,I know and that is exactly my point, the self bravado declarations that some made but as you said, did not participate. I have no excuses as I am a "Johnny come lately" but applaud the efforts of those who did.
