John Griffith on Marine Reserves (Part 3)
Fishermen used to have to know just how to fish, and understand the few rules involved. Most of the rules made sense. Not anymore. Some are purely political, and politics makes sense only to politicians, special interest groups, and people who watch them.

More fishermen need to watch them. State Representative Arnie Roblan, a Coos Bay Democrat and co-speaker of the House, has introduced a bill this legislative session that will turn all management of Oregon's 3 mile-wide territorial sea over to radical environmentalists. It will replace the real sciences of biology and fisheries management with activist-dominated ecology. This new bill is a follow-up bill to one he got passed last session. The bills are HB 3106 (2009 session) and HB 2190 this session. They can be found at http://www.leg.state.or.us/bills_laws/ for those who like to research.

Also last session, Roblan passed a bill that gave Oregon its first two new marine reserves in 14 years, HB 3013. There's three more no-fishing marine reserves currently proposed on the central and north coast, although none here on the south coast. A group formed by the Port of Coos Bay will vote March 19 on whether to add marine reserves at Cape Arago. Marine reserves are a management tool that has helped rebuild fish numbers within the area that was closed to fishing. Where they've done that, primarily, is where resources were abused by having few or no fishing regulations and enforcement. Those are not the circumstances along the Oregon coast. Everything has catch limits here, including all shellfish, fin fish and marine plants. Because of all those circumstances -- where reserves have shown benefits and what things are like here -- there's no reason to suppose marine reserves would do anything here except hurt fishermen and businesses that serve them.

I recently spoke with Representative Roblan. He told me he expects his bill, HB 2190, will be "amended as necessary." Yeah, right, as necessary to accomplish what?

This sort of nonsense just keeps coming from people who don't hunt or fish but are taking away our access, and replacing our effective, scientific fish and wildlife management with pseudo-science. They could not do it if our elected representatives wouldn't let them. Even though they might believe they were elected to represent people in a different part of the state, guys like Roblan get a sense of whether they're going to keep their job from letters that people in their district write to them.

February Y Family Entry
We would like to thank Doug Landrum for his wonderful Y Family Entry for January. Doug has won our Y Family Entry contest for the month of January, and will receive a gift certificate, courtesy of Y Marina. We greatly appreciate the following kind words from Doug;

I would like to sincerely thank the Y Marina staff for an outstanding purchase experience. I have a 16’ Tracker Superguide which has provided me with many fun and productive fishing and boating trips. I have been wanting to upgrade the stock 40hp motor because the kids I am pulling around behind the boat keep getting bigger and the motor was starting to become short on power. I also have wanted to do away with the noise and smoke of the 2 stroke engine but the cost for a new or nearly new 60 hp 4-stroke just seemed out of reach. I had been periodically checking with both local marinas in town but was not very hopeful. Mark and Scott let me know that they would be getting a 60hp Mercury in that needed some major work but was still under warranty and they would be willing to make me a deal. Some time passed, including the November shut down, but the staff stayed in touch and I am happy to say I now have the 60hp mounted on my boat at a price that didn’t break my budget. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful with the process. I also had a tachometer installed at the same time and can’t wait to get my boat on the water. I would highly recommend the Y Marina for quality sales and service. Thank you.

Doug Landrum

2011 Edge Marine Sport OS!
All new to the Y Marina selection of aluminum fishing boats is the Edge Marine Sport OS Series. The Sport OS is Edge Marines latest boat to be added to the Edge Marine boat line, but is nothing short of incredible. The Sport OS is built with an extra deep vee and wide bottom to create the most stable boat platform on the market. The Sport OS is built with the ocean in mind and its smooth ride with incredible power makes it one of the best offshore boat on the market. Take the OS to the lake or the ocean and know that you have a boat that can handle any water adversity.

In 2010 we had the pleasure of taking a ride in the Edge Marine 23’ Sports OS. The stability and smooth ride that this hull offers is second to none. You have to take a ride in one of these boats to truly appreciate all that it has to offer. Y Marina will have both a 20’ and 21’ Sport OS in stock very soon. Visit ymarinaboats.com to view these Edge's listings as soon as it arrives from the factory.

Joke of the Month
February’s joke of the month goes out to all of those people that have had trouble finding parts for their boat or engine. The joke was found at bootkeyharbor.com and goes something like this;

How many boaters does it take to change a light bulb?

None, because the right size bulb isn't on board, the local marine-supply store doesn't carry that brand, and the mail-order house has them on back-order.
