Seiner Conquest docked I believe in Mexico. Launched Conquest in 1973 if I have the right boat by Campbells in San Diego. Thank You to Jorge Fletes for sharing this photo , sdtunaboats@cox.net

Bold Producer docked at Zolezzi fuel dock in the 70s. I call these photos compliments of nut and bolt man , a great man who now has passed away but spent many wonderful days in my fathers garage talking fishing.

So lets change it up and do a San Pedro seiner. Photo sent in by George Fuchs who fished on seiners out of San Pedro . Thanks George, send in your photos  to sdtunaboats@cox.net

One from my Fathers collection , but a favorite showing the new Martinac I believe its the Tifaimoana coming around hard with a unnamed Westgate seiner trailing trying to get in position. This was in the Early 80s with my Father aboard the Proud Heritage. sdtunaboats@cox.net

If you followed my site for a while you know this boat means the world to me. My Father spent many years here as a navigator and I probably have the most memories on this seiner . Owned by Manuel Silva and built by San Diego Marine. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Unknown seiner letting go, although I believe this is the John F Kennedy or the Pisces. Looks like a beautiful weather day, please share your pictures at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Seiner Nair this seiner was launched the Chiriqui in San Diego way back in 1975. But honestly its been a top seiner in the Mexican fleet for years , Thank you to Jorges Fletes for sharing this photo.. Share your photo at sdtunaboats@cox.net
