\u201cI am excited for the opportunity to work with the Morro Bay Community Quota Fund and become part of the groundfish fleet,\u201d he told CFF. \u201cI am very thrilled to establish my new home and become part of the Morro Bay community.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hard work and a love of fishing run in Kyle\u2019s family.\u00a0 His brother is a successful fisherman too, and their mom has been very supportive of their decision to pursue a career in fishing. Kyle\u2019s father is now the deputy harbormaster at Pillar Point Harbor, and he continues a career of fishing for salmon and crab.\u00a0 When not fishing, Kyle spends time with friends and family (often comparing pounds caught or wages earned with his brother), or surfing in spots from California to Nicaragua.<\/p>\n
Kyle is juggling a busy spring crewing, outfitting the F\/V Moriah Lee, and learning a new gear type and fishing grounds.\u00a0 The arrival of a new, young fisherman is welcome news for the port of Morro Bay, where every boat contributes to the economy.\u00a0 He\u2019s already received the support of several established locals in the Morro Bay fishing community, and should be an integral member of the port in no time.\u00a0 The California Fisheries Fund is proud to support this new business, especially in light of the impressive recovery of the West Coast groundfish fishery, thanks to years of hard work to implement science-based conservation and management practices.<\/p>\n

Kyle Pemberton is a 29-year old fisherman from El Granada, California.\u00a0 He grew up fishing and crabbing with his father and uncle out of Half Moon Bay, at the southern edge of the San Francisco Bay Area, where he currently resides.\u00a0 He always showed strong math and mechanical skills, and considered studying engineering, but fishing proved too strong a pull.\u00a0 He crewed for several years, working his way up to alternate captain on Steve Fitz\u2019s boat, the F\/V Mr. Morgan, using the unique and light-touch Scottish seine gear.<\/p>\n
