Keep those Cuyamaca carp!

Bow-fishers encouraged to help control the invasive species

Carp
Carp

From up on the hill, the folks at Lake Cuyamaca would like all anglers that catch any carp to not return them to the water. The carp are not natural to the lake and can get overpopulated. Carp are known to eat the eggs and fry of the endemic species and can take over a fishery, given time. Those that enjoy bow-fishing for carp are invited up to the lake to try their skill and at the same time help reduce the numbers of the invasive fish.

Just off the coast in U.S. waters: Though the counts might not reflect it, there are schools of bluefin tuna within ten miles of Point Loma right now. Many fish have been spotted by recreational boaters and even one report of a whale-watch closing in on what they thought were feeding dolphin only to find tuna leaping out of the water. Some of these fish are up to and over 60 pounds! The bluefin tuna can be a picky biter and then turn on in force under the right conditions. Sometimes they get hungry at sunset when many of the local sportboats are already in and can also be a little boat-shy. With the upcoming moon-phase and water temp at 66 degrees, I expect to see the bluefin catch increase for the local fleet.

Sad news from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. On Friday, May 29, 47-year-old fisherman Randy Llanes died of injuries sustained when a swordfish speared him. Llanes spotted a swordfish that morning swimming in the harbor and got into the water with a speargun to take the fish. After he shot the 40-pound fish it got entangled in a mooring and in its frantic attempt to escape speared Mr Llanes in the chest. Medical personnel performed CPR and transported him to a local hospital where Llanes was pronounced dead. Captain Llanes was well-known and loved in the Hawaiian fishing community. Prayers to the family.

Here are the June 3 dock totals
