Very nice... Thanks for the report, Larry.

I’m probably interpreting the regs wrong but it is worth discussing. As I read it RCG Complex (including all species of Rockfish as defined in Section 1.91) are closed to fishing from Mar-June in waters less than 180 ft and in waters deeper than 360 ft.

180 ft-360 ft = OK

Nice report Larry.

From the DFG site, no minumum depth of 180, just a max of 360.

[QUOTE]

Rockfish The recreational fishery for rockfish (Sebastes sp.) is open to boat-based anglers from March 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. These species may only be taken or possessed4 in waters less that 360 feet (60 fathoms) deep (except in the Cowcod Conservation Areas – see below). The fishery for these species is open year-round to divers2 and shore-based anglers. The daily bag and possession limit is 10 fish in combination of all species within the RCG Complex (includes all species of Rockfish, Cabezon and Greenlings) per person, with a sub-limit on bocaccio (1 per person, minimum size limit of 10 inches total length, also included in the 10 fish RCG Complex aggregate limit). Yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish and cowcod may not be retained (bag limit: zero). [/QUOTE]

When I was dealing with the MLPA kayaks and float tubes were considered shore based anglers. From what I can tell that would mean rockfish is open all year. Anybody got a contact at DFG to shoot an email?

It has changed............Idiot

Boat-based anglers are fishermen that fish from boats or vessels of any size or any other type of floating object, including kayaks and float tubes.
