Beautiful shot of the Jaiwon  Master in San Diego Bay. This was one of the last few seiners built by Campbells in San Diego it was built in 1989. Please share your pictures with us at [email protected]

This is one of my fathers photos , taken from Proud Heritage with Sea Quest also in photo. Both seiners owned by Manuel Silva and both seiners built at San Diego Marine. Please share your photos with us at [email protected]

Proud Heritage in a set. I grew up on this boat with my father who fished on it for years. Always well maintained , the heritage was owned by Manuel Silva and built by San Diego Marine. Honestly I believe its still fishing today last I heard the name was Yap Seagul I believe. Please share your photos with us at [email protected]

Seiner Cape Elizabeth built by Martinac in 1980 and launched the Tradition. Unfortunately this seiner caught on fire and sank a few years back. Please share your photos at [email protected]

Another classic from Kevin Madruga. Chicken of the Sea fishing manual. Definitely the good old days 1978. Please share your photos with us @ [email protected]

Seiner Legacy with its chopper aboard . Beautiful seiner owned originally by Manuel Silva and built by Martinac Shipyard in 1982. Please share your photos with us so we can share them and make people smile in these tough times [email protected]

Kevin, one of our best followers sends in his memories of his family boat the Spartan & Lococco brothers fishing albacore. Along with his father the legendary Anthony Madruga.  Thanks Kevin

Another one of my favorite boats, Mariner built by Martinac in 1973. And sadly not very many photos of this seiner around. I could use a few if you have them ? Please share your photos with us at [email protected]

So looks like we have a area of school fish. They may need a air traffic controller to direct traffic. Share your photos please at [email protected]

Seiner Connie Jean built way back in 1966 by Martinac Shipyard. One of the last seiners to fish out of San Diego and I’m pretty sure no one predicted that one. Seriously I could really use some photos come on do something nice. [email protected]
