Southern California independent sport fishing survey annual report no. 2
For the second consecutive year, a program of randomfield sampling of anglers and divers fishing fromprivately owned boats was conducted at southernCalifornia launch ramps, hoists, and boat rentalfacilities. This study presents quantitative dataand statistical estimates of effort, total catch,catch of preferred sport fish species, and lengthfrequencies of particular species landed by privateboat sport fishermen. An assessment of sportfishermen's compliance with current fishingregulations is also included.Catch composition and effort levels variedconsiderably among the five counties sampled,reflecting differences in water temperature,offshore habitat, and preferences for particularspecies by local fishermen. A comparison of thisyear's results with those of last year showed thatalthough catch rates for some species were similarboth years, others diverged considerably. (84pp.)
