725, August 17, S.B. Harbor
Posted by brian, Thu Aug-17-00 05:58 PM
I met Daniel and his dad at Marina 1 for some night fishing tonight for seabass. I guess the seabass have been coming up under the lights at night at Marina 1. I got there at 8 and by 10:30 had 8 small sandbass and a rockfish. The sandie bite was pretty wide for about 15 minutes there. Well, at around 10:30 harbor patrol pulls up with dfg and they check us for licenses and check my bag for illegal fish. Daniel and his dad didn't have their licenses on them but he let em off with a warning after a bunch of ass kissing. Then Harbor Patrol took all our names and checked ID and said we were "trespassing". Apparently there's some sign at the gate that says you have to know somebody who's ON a boat in the harbor to be there, unless you own a boat there. So, he let us off with a warning too. It's all kind of ridiculous because you can fish the same exact spot in a float tube with no BS. What a pain in the arss.

Where is marina #1? Is that the main dock in front of Brophie Brothers?

Marina 1 is just to the right of the Chandelry, towards the sandbar side of the harbor.
Part of why they don't want fishing on the docks, I know because I know Harbor Patrolmen, and have been stopped for fishing off the docks, is theft. It is too easy for someone who doesn't belong on the marina, to scope out boats under the guise of "fishing"
In my experience, if you are mellow, they will let you fish, or off with a warning, though it is different at night, where it would be much easier to grab something off a boat.

From what I gathered a commercial fisherman radioed us in to the harbor patrol. I only saw one guy on one boat (which was a commercial boat) who had a dog that kept barking at us. So, I avoided that area as much as possible. Later in the evening, we went back there and the dog wasn't barking so I dropped a piling right in front of the boat and pulled a sandbass. When I tossed it back, it did make a pretty loud splash, so I'm wondering if the guy thought we were funking around with his boat or throwing stuff in the water or something.
