The Alabama Rig — is this taking it too far?
Bass fishing not the same Since the advent of the plastic sit-on-top kayak and the internet, anglers have posted shots of their catches, forget- ting that the background might hold secrets. Plus, there’s the explosion of information on rigging, technique, and gear. When a new product hits the market (see the Ala- bama Rig) it catches on and might be in use nationwide within weeks. The national Kayak Bass Fishing’s California partner,
California Kayak Bass Fishing, is hosting an open tourna- ment at Lower Otay Reservoir this Saturday at 6:00 a.m. These are CPR (catch, photograph, release) events,
wherein bass are boated, photographed on an approved measuring board, and then released.

San Diego streams and lakes hold caffeine mystery According to a study written by Carey Nagoda, a water
LUCIFER KEEPS THEM IN THE SLIPS
Dock Totals 2/12 – 2/18: 437 anglers aboard 26 boats out of San Diego landings this past week caught 2 yellowtail, 6 calico bass, 21 sand bass, 1,571 rockfish, 139 sanddab, 10 halfmoon, 1 finescale triggerfish, 95 whitefish, 5 bonito, 11 lingcod, 1 halibut, 199 sculpin. 8 sheephead, 1 spider crab and 5 spiny lobster.
The strongest so far in a series of Pacific storms, aptly named Lucifer, slammed into southern California Friday, shutting down the sportfishing fleet and keeping local anglers on not so dry land. High winds built seas up to 45’ feet on the offshore banks, surf over 12’ locally and up to 20’ along the Baja peninsula, keeping boats in the slips and on the trailers for over a thousand miles of coastline. Prior to
resource control engineer with the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, creeks and reservoirs at 14 of 16 local recreational sites tested positive for caffeine. Caffeine is not a naturally occurring substance in plants found in Southern California, she said. “In the southeastern states, there’s a plant that pro- duces caffeine, but it can’t survive in our soils.” Richard Scott Turner — whose first book
in the Jerry Schad Afoot and Afield in San Diego series is being released in March — says, “My guess is that a lot of hikers and trail users who aren’t educated on leave-no-trace are peeing into streams or too close to them.” While the water board’s scientists were
testing for caffeine to identify sewage spills, they noticed something peculiar — and some- thing that made using caffeine to locate spilled sewage useless.
