Captain Jack Innis is a well-known fishing and boating writer. The San Diego resident’s love affair with fishing began in the early 1960s when he became a Junior Oceanographer with Scripps Institute of Oceanography. As a high-school youth, he worked summers handling and filleting sport-caught pelagic species such as albacore, yellowtail, tuna, and marlin. In the 1980s, he owned and operated Crystal Pier Bait & Tackle atop a 1,600-foot-long fish-ing pier in San Diego. In the early 1990s, Innis kicked off his writing career with fishing articles in Charter Industries Magazine, California Game & Fish Magazine, Motorhome Magazine, and Saltwater Sportsman Magazine.
In 1999, Innis became a reporter, covering waterfront and fishing activities for The San Diego Log Newspaper. In 2000, his newspaper article “City Makes Island Grow Under Light of the Moon” earned a 1st place award at the San Diego Press Club. Innis later became editor of all five Log Newspapers and oversaw the development of FishRap, a separate fishing section within the publication that is still going strong to this day.
In 2001, Innis authored “Catalina Island, Historical Tribute to Recreational Boating,” a magazine/book hybrid that includes segments on the Catalina Island Tuna Club and fishing history. In 2004 he authored “San Diego Legends” (Sunbelt Publications), which enjoys continued success in its second printing.
Innis is an International Game Fish (IGFA) International Committee member, very active over the past seven years in organizing free fishing derbies for disadvantaged youth. He also works hard to promote ethical angling and has been visible in trying to ensure that California’s implementation of the Marine Life Protection Act and other laws governing fishing are based on good science, not guesswork.
In 2003, Innis and his wife Michelle, a master soapmaker, created De-Fishing Soap®, a biodegradable hand soap guaranteed to remove the toughest fish and bait odors from hands.
Jack will be talking about some of our more exotic fishing here in San Diego, including Bonefishing and presenting Inside Sportfishing clips of our own San Diego Angler, Tiera Hanes from the two-part show premiering on Januray 1st and 8th.

Yearbook Ads
We are now working on the 2009-10 yearbooks. The yearbooks are a valuable tool to the membership of the club. I don’t know about your yearbook, but mine is pretty dog-eared by the end of the year with all of the use it gets! One of the more valuable tools is the ads in the back of the book. Whenever I need something; I look to see if we have a club member who might be able to help me, and not just for fishing & boating. Appliance repair, tax preparers, CPA’s, attorneys, electricians, plumbers, metal fabricators, realtors, printers, insurance, you name it and we might have a club member who does it. Why not give your business to a club member instead of looking in the yellow pages or googling it online? You are pretty much assured you are going to get a good job with a good deal attached to it. The ads help to pay for the cost of the yearbook. I don’t know if we could produce it without our advertisers. So now here is the plug. Help to support the club by purchasing some advertisement. Print ads start at a meager 1/4 Page for $50, 1/2 page $75, full page $100, complete ad package (yearbook, website & newsletter) $350. And new for this year is we can offer advertising on our webpage www.sandiegoanglers.com. It has become a very valuable information tool. Every bit of information you need is available on the web page. Now the viewing of the web ads are not just limited to the club members with year books. Anybody can access the website so now the whole world can see your ads! Combo Ad packages (print and web) are available for the asking. Contact Al Stassukevich for more info. If you have never advertised with us before, contact us (Al Stasukevich 619-285-1611) and we will take care of it for you. If you are a current advertiser, don't wait for your renewal call!!!!!
Newsletter
Print vs. Digital
For the last three months we have been mailing printed SDA Monthly Newsletters to all members. If we missed anyone we apologize. We have also been requesting at each meeting that all members indicate which type of delivery they desire, mail or e-mail. SDA is a club for everyone and the Board of Directors is aware that not all members like email and some do not use it. Therefore we request that any member desiring to receive the newsletter by mail please let us know at the May meeting or call AL Stasukevich (619-701-6745) or Marty McCune (858-484-3982) to get on the mailing list. It is your choice. This newsletter will be the last mass mailing. Beginning in June we will mail only to those members who have indicated their preference for the printed version. Please let us know so we may serve you better.
Have A Great Day – Take A Kid Fishin!!
Historical Data/Scrapbooks
As many of you know, Tina Burleson has been doing our scrapbooks forever. Her talent really makes most of us look better than we ever thought of being. Well it has somehow morphed into our best historical data. Who knew Tina was a Historian.
She needs our help in the form of photos of notable catches (with data as to date of catch, type of fish and weight, fisherman, etc), photos from events, and articles (or copies of articles) that may appear in the local press about our members or our club. If those of you who subscribe or regularly peruse The Log’ U-T, Western Outdoors, Pacific Fisherman and others could get originals or copies of articles and pictures that may appear to Tina it would greatly assist her and the club. When you catch “THE ONE”, make sure to get a picture and put all the info on the back. Just bring pictures or articles to Tina at the monthly meeting or e-mail them to her at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .San Diego Weather
