Sublime Session @ KROQ -What I Got EXCLUSIVE(last week)

With Brad Nowell shinning down on them.

Sublime Issues Public Statement Release

The two remaining founders of legendary California Dub-Punk band Sublime have issued a public statement on their decision to return as a band. Drummer Bud Gaugh And Bassist Eric Wilson have also included a response to legal action from The Estate of founding lead singer, guitar player, and song writer Bradley Nowell.
"On behalf of the band Sublime, founding members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson are thrilled by the opportunity to reconnect with their fans around the world. While we all mourn the passing of our brother and bandmate Bradley Nowell some thirteen years ago, Sublime still has a strong message of hope and love to share -- a message that is especially important in these difficult times.
Brad's heirs apparently do not share this vision and do not want the band Sublime to continue and tried -- unsuccessfully -- to file a temporary restraining order to prevent the band from carrying on. Despite those objections, we are pleased that the United States District Court has allowed us to perform as Sublime for all of our fans."

Every now and then I like to express my thoughts on paper, as its kinda relaxing too. I will soon be starting to paint and create some art on canvas just to consume some time, and make great art for the wall. I call this one Sunrise Roots and am currently cleaning it up to look digital on ms paint, wish me luck and check back for the "digital version"

Express yourself. Go Ride.

Tagged Albacore Travels 14,582 Miles In 380 Days!
Have you ever wondered where albacore migrate to (and from)? What about the depth they swim and feed at? How fast do they grow?
Well, here is some information that I think you’ll find interesting.
On August 21, 2007 I caught a tagged albacore on a nameless cattle boat about 100 miles out of San Diego. An alert fellow fisherman pointed it out to me shortly after the fish was gaffed said it was worth some bucks so I’d better keep an eye on it. I ask the deckies to save the fish whole so I could turn it in.
The “spaghetti tag” offered a $500 reward and gave me an 800 number to call in order to turn in the fish and collect the reward. I called it in and they sent a person up to Orange County from their La Jolla headquarters the next day to pick up the fish. I had a check in my hand about 10 days later.
“They” turned out to be the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) working in cooperation with The American Fishermen’s Research Foundation since 2001 on a project to study the migratory patterns, and temperature, and depth preferences of juvenile North Pacific albacore. They are hoping to learn more about the structure of the albacore stock in the Northeast Pacific, information which is critical to developing accurate population estimates.
Then over the next several months they sent me more information on the program and some websites to preview some of the things that they are doing. Some very interesting stuff.
There were two types of tags on the fish. The first was a “spaghetti tag” that was behind the dorsal fin. It had “ call 1-800- xxxx for a $500 Reward for turning the fish in to NOAA.
Spagettii Tag

The second tag they used is called an “archival” tag and is a little larger than an AA battery with a 2” antenna coming out of the top. The tag records depth, water temperature, visceral temperature and light level every 60 seconds.
Archival Tag In The Fish

Close-up of the tag. Main body of tag is 3" long and 1.6oz.

The tag has to be removed from the fish in order to retrieve the data, hence the $500 reward. (It’s now $1000).
The tag is inserted into the albacore just about at the anal opening and then sewn shut. The antenna trails outside of the body of the fish.
There is a video clip on how they do it at AMERICAN FISHERMEN'S RESEARCH FOUNDATION
Archivial Tag That Was Used

Here is the retrieved information about the fish that I caught. It was tagged on August 6, 2006 off of the mouth of the Columbia River. It wandered around for a bit and then headed west towards Hawaii. It then headed south, did a loop-de-loop, and then headed about ¾’s of the way down the Baja Peninsula. It then came back up to the San Diego area where I caught him.
His (he was a male) voyage took 380 days and covered 14,582 miles (38.37 miles per day). His fork length increased by 5.5” (from 29.5 inches to 35 inches) and he put on 12.6 pounds (from 19#’s to 31.7#’s)
Map Of Where The Tagged Fish Traveled

Only 3 tags were recovered in 2007, mine and 2 others. All 3 were tagged off the mouth of the Columbia River during 2006.
Fish #063 was on the loose for 329 days. He traveled 14,272 miles and was also captured by a sport boat out of San Diego. He took about the same route as my fish did, but traveled a little further west.
Fish #64 was the one I caught: 14,585 miles in 380 days.
The third fish, #65, did totally opposite of the other two fish. He hung around off the coast of Washington for a while then he just hauled-ass for Japan where he was caught by a Thailand commercial trawler. He was free for 293 days and traveled 8,484 miles before he met his rather dreaded fate.
Map of the 3 tagged fish that were recovered in 2007

As of the end of 2007, only 23 tags were recovered out of the nearly 500 that were deployed over a four year period.
Map of the 23 recovered tags

For some reason I always had thought that there were two separate schools of albacore. One that went north and covered Northern California, Oregon and Washington and a second school that traveled south towards Southern California and Mexico. The map of their tracks shows a totally different story.
Now for the depth and temperature charts. They are not available at this time. The data is still being analyzed. Apparently the head honcho of the albacore tagging project is in the process of writing a paper on the subject but is some time away from completing it.
Take a look at the websites below and it will give some idea of what the depth and temperature charts look like.
Here is what little information I was able to find out about. “In general the fish have been found to stay at surface temperatures between 59 and 64 degrees F and do their dives during the day and stay near the surface at night. In general, their internal temperature is higher than the water temperature and spikes when he is feeding.
At this time it is not known if there are trends between their behavior at the coast and their behavior offshore. That information will come out with the paper that is being written.
Here are two websites that will give you a lot more detailed information on tagging fish that you’ll find interesting.
Albacore Archival Tagging - SWFSC
AMERICAN FISHERMEN'S RESEARCH FOUNDATION
This would make an interesting article for one of the fishing magazines, so if you have any contacts you might forward this information on to them.
The reward for these tags has just been increased to $1000, so keep your eyes open.

while at lunch break the other day I saw this sick Chevy Appache, not sure of the year but the thing looked pretty cool even having a soccer mom driving it. She was nice enough to slow down for me to take some pics too, what a nice lady.

6 yr old floats away in homemade balloon!

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft in Colorado and floated away Thursday, forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue the boy as the balloon hurtled through the air. The bizarre scene played out live on television and prompted fears that the flying saucer-shaped balloon would crash with the young child inside. The balloon rotated slowly in the wind, tipping precariously at times.
Cathy Davis of the Larimer County Sheriff's Department told reporters the balloon was owned by the boy's parents and tethered behind the family's home. She said two sons were playing outside when the older boy saw the younger one go into a compartment at the bottom of the balloon and fly away.
"We'll just have to respond the best we can," Davis said. "This is a first and we'll do what we need to do."
She said the family was in contact with experts to provide details on the craft, including what it's made of and what might happen when it reaches the ground.
Capt. Troy Brown of the Colorado Army National Guard said an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter was in the air and a Black Hawk UH-60 was also about to take off.
Brown said one chopper would be equipped with a hoist normally used to raise people from the ground in rescues. In this case it could be used to lower someone to the balloon.
Brown said the Army Guard is also working with pilots of ultralight aircraft on the possibility of putting weights on the homemade craft to weigh it down. It wasn't immediately clear if the goal was to bring the craft to the ground or to just lower its elevation.
Brown said there would be a medic on one of the helicopters.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said the agency is tracking the balloon through reports from pilots and that air traffic control facilities in the region are aware of the situation.
Larimer County sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said the device had the potential to rise to 10,000 feet. Sheriff's officials last saw the device floating south of Milliken, which is about 40 miles north of Denver.
"We were sitting eating, out looking where they normally shoot off hot air balloons. My husband said he saw something. It went over our rooftop. Then we saw the big round balloonish thing, it was spinning," said neighbor Lisa Eklund.
Additional details about the child and the balloon were not immediately available.
"By the time I saw it, it traveled pretty fast," Eklund said.
