Ocean sport fishery slow amid winds and changing rules
Ocean fishing out of Avila has slowed due to heavy winds and rough water with few boats venturing out. Harbor Associates of Port San Luis report no salmon checked in for the week ending Oct. 3 as coastal catches remain poor from Humboldt to Mendocino counties. Surf fishing near Oceano yields nice perch limits and some steelhead sightings while Lopez Lake shows good trout limits as anglers await possible all year trout seasons and adjusted lake limits proposed by the DFG. Deer kills in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties declined from last year, with official totals noted but excluding special hunts.

Defense sets stage for Braves initial triumph
Lompoc Braves coach Jim Spurill credited improved defense after a 27-0 win over the San Luis Obispo Tigers. He praised the entire unit for limiting rushing to minus three yards and allowing 94 passing yards. Individual honors went to David Skidmore as top defensive lineman and Charley Jackson as defensive back of the week for standout plays and a key interception. Carter return and blocks fueled 86 yard punt return TDs and two scores, with Gary Cox limited by injury. Friday’s road game vs Arroyo Grande aims to stop Tom Jones, a dual threat. The note recalls a 14-14 tie in a prior home game with Stouch Rodgers Vermilion.
