Fishing barge New Point Loma<\/p><\/div>\n

Sea fishing off the Southern California coast became quite popular in the early 1900s.\u00a0Anglers lined the piers of coastal towns but envied the fishermen on boats who enjoyed better catches off shore.\u00a0In the 1920s, fishing barges began to appear.\u00a0Anchored in deeper waters, the barges provided great fishing but at a more modest cost than the sport boats.<\/p>\n
