E15 Fuel Decision Delayed
The decision to expand E10 ethanol gasoline to E15 gasoline has once again been delayed in Washington. This is the second delay since the petition by the EPA was brought forth about one year ago. With a yes decision in Washington we could see a rise of up to 5% ethanol in our fuel nationwide. The current legal level of ethanol is set below 10%, and would rise to almost a 15% mixture. The committee will meet again in the fall, after further testing of the gasoline, to reach their decision.

While this has the potential to be an excellent opportunity for corn farmers worldwide, it does not necessarily bode well for the boating industry and other industries that rely on fuel. Currently, most of the testing of E15 ethanol fuels is on automobiles, as it will have potentially the largest impact on the automotive industry. Other industries relying on gas powered engines have protested against this rise in ethanol until significant research has proven that the E15 gasoline is compatible with both on road and non-road engines. As one writer from Boating Industry Magazine wrote, “Focusing on automobiles leaves out millions of other gas-powered engines. If you own a lawn mower, chain saw, all-terrain vehicle, generator, or boat, I would be very concerned over the costs to repair or replace those items after using higher levels of ethanol gas."

As many boating enthusiasts know, E10 ethanol gasoline has become a major problem for boaters nationwide. Ethanol attracts water into fuel systems which has lead to many issues in engines that are have not been meticulously cared for. At Y Marina alone, nearly 50% of services completed are on engines with fuel related issues. The potential rise to an E15 gasoline could be extremely detrimental to the industry that has already experienced a massive decline.

As fall approaches we will have our eyes on Washington. We know that the introduction of E15 fuel is not all bad news. The switch to an E15 gasoline may very well be a stepping stone for future fuels and a positive change in the oil industry worldwide. But for now, we must focus our attention to the immediate effect on all industries that a move to E15 will create.

John Griffith's July Fishing Tips
July is perhaps the best month of the year to own an ocean-able boat if you live on the Oregon coast. It's debatable, certainly. Some could successfully argue the best month is August. It depends on the weather, year to year.

It's mainly the point of being ready to go in July. Some of the tuna fishermen will have exploratory trips logged by late July if the weather is sketchy. If it's good, most will have made several trips.

Salmon fishing is also good "outside" in July. This year there's a 26,000-fish coho quota for fin-clipped fish from the California border to the north coast's Cape Falcon. And we have a Chinook season again.


July Fishing Buzz
Poor weather and rough seas continue to be a problem for halibut and salmon fishermen in the Northwest, though the outlook is high for the month of July. Coho season has finally begun, and the albacore will be following warm current north towards the middle of the month. There is a lot to look forward to this July, so here is just a small taste of the buzz surrounding some our Y Family Members;

Salmon -Coho season has arrived and the outlook is once again high for Oregon Coast fishermen. June presented us with rough seas and poor fishing weather which has lead to low numbers of chinook caught off of our coastal waters. The small numbers of salmon that have been caught have been hooked at depths over 350 feet. We can expect the month of July to present better weather and better fishing for both chinook and coho salmon. Please remember to bring your catch into Y Marina’s Coos Bay location to enter our 1st annual Salmon Showdown. This contest has been extended to July 28th, so hurry in with you catch today! The winner of this year’s event will win a prize valued at up to $900.

Bottom Fishing - Bottom fishing continues to be hot off of the southern Oregon coast. Most fishermen have been reaching their limit of both blacks and lings in a very short amount of time. Local spear fishermen have raved about great visibility and large catches right outside of Charleston.

Bass & Trout - Bass and trout fisherman fishing in our small local lakes were very successful in the month of June. Ten Mile has been a popular spot for catching both bass and trout so far this spring, and as we enter July we should see the strong bite continue. One Y Family Member landed four bass in just a couple hours of fishing over the past weekend. Trout fishing in Ten Mile has also been good in the month of June, and should continue to be good through July. Another great place for local fisherman to catch a nice trout is Empire Lakes in Coos Bay. This lake is continuously stocked with great trout and can be a fun place to fish with the whole family.

Crabbing - Crab fishermen continue to provide us with good news from our local waters. One Y Family Member reached his limit in less than 30 minutes on an 8+ high tide over Father’s Day weekend. Reports were that the crab were all quite large and still full, which is somewhat unusual for this time of year.

Don’t forget, Y Marina now carries an huge selection of North Country Lures! Y Family Members have had great success with North Country Super Hoochies, Sonic Bells, and Super Magnums over the past couple of years. These lures are American made, right up the road in Florence, Oregon by the Dean and Pat Hendricks. Hurry in before to get your lures while supplies last! Click on the photograph below for more information on the Hendricks family and their business, North Country Lures and Flies.

For any additional fishing tips feel free to contact Dean Hendricks of North Country Lures and Flies LLC. Dean had been a professional guide for over 27 years, with roots all over Northern California. He is still very much involved with the ODFW and many of the local fisheries programs. Mr. Hendricks is in constant contact with a network of professional fishing guides and is happy to provide any knowledge that he comes across. You can email Dean Hendricks at northcountryluresandfles@yahoo.com.

July Y Family Entry
For this month’s Y Family Entry we are going to feature a very touching testimonial that was sent to us from Rich and Dawn of Covington, Washington. Rich and Dawn recently purchase a Smoker Craft from Y Marina, and had some wonderful things to say about their experience.

July Recipe of the Month
For July’s recipe of the month we wanted to feature something that was easy to prepare, tastes great and is a healthy meal for the whole family. Salmon is the main ingredient for this month’s recipe, and it was found at www.recipezaar.com. July’s recipe of the month is titled Amazing Salmon Tacos. This recipe will prepare 4 servings and takes approximately 25 minutes to prepare. We hope you enjoy July’s recipe of the month.
    Ingredients
  • 1 lb salmon, skinned and cut into one inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 limes, quartered
  • 2 (8-ounce) cans dice tomatoes with green chilies, drained (like Rotel)
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onion, chopped
    Preparation Instructions
  1. Toss cubed salmon in cumin and chili powder and set aside.
  2. Heat large skillet over medium heat and cook yellow onion 2 minutes, until it begins to soften.
  3. Turn heat up to medium high. Add salmon to skillet. Lightly sear salmon cubes for about 2-3 minutes, turning gently.
  4. Do not overcook the salmon. This juicy recipe will keep steaming the salmon. The salmon should still be firm in the middle of the cube when you proceed to the next step.
  5. Return heat setting to medium. Add canned tomatoes and chilies, cilantro and green onions. Gently incorporate and heat through.
  6. Squeeze quartered limes over salmon mixture, give it a quick stir, and plate up the salmon. You may be able to drain a little liquid at this time.
  7. Serve with warm flour tortillas, quality salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado and crisp romaine lettuce.
Please contact us if you have the opportunity to try this awesome salmon recipe. We are interested to hear if our Y Family members enjoyed the recipe as much as we did. Also, please do not forget to send in “your” favorite sea food recipe. Your recipe may be featured in our July Y Family Newsletter. If your entry is selected, you can receive cool gifts, courtesy of Y Marina.

Joke of the Month
HARD WORK PAYS OFF

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.

About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his family.

"You aren't going to catch many fish that way," said the businessman to the fisherman, "you should be working rather than lying on the beach!" The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, "And what will my reward be?"

"Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the businessman's answer. "And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman, still smiling. The businessman replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of fish!" "And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman again.

The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman's questions. "You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!" he said. "And then what will my reward be?" repeated the fisherman.

The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch fish for you!" Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward be?"

The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, "Don't you understand that you can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a care in the world!"

The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do you think I'm doing right now?"
