Fishing Boats
A few survivors of San Diego's once large fishing fleet at the G Street Municipal Pier.
Overfishing, competition, rising costs and changes in fish migration have taken their toll.

Colorful local shot Walter - fishing of any sort off the west coast is not what it used to be.

Great set of reflections and some nice working boats. Same story on this side of the pond as well, all the old fishing fleets are going.

Same here, almost no fisherman left, because the sea is wide open to a few huge trawlers coming from far away. The local fisherman just can't compete, and even then... the north atlantic is taking a beating, the only animals left are the seals, they are like a plague they are everywhere, hard to beleive. Restaurants are beginning to seve that meat, thats the only large animal population left. Before it was cod, but they are really gone as for numbers.

A beautiful view. Do I see the Coronado Bridge in the background?

I like how you captured the reflections in the water!

That's a right tangle of aerials and masts, nicely composed Walter!

A sad sign of the times...mostly mismanagement in the beginning.
A very lovely & colourful shot, Walter.

Shrimpers on the East and Gulf coasts can not compete with imports, cheaper for us consumers but ... I love maritime photos Walter! Thanks.
