2024 Regs
   The new 2024 Rockfish Regs are now being enforced.  The biggest difference this year is the reduction in Reds from 4 to 2 in possession and a descending device. From what I'm hearing and what I've read, you must have a descending device readily available for releasing fish. Not just on the kayak or in your kit, but rigged and ready to go. Good Luck

Isn't there some additional depth restrictions? I read that there would be different times that we would be allowed certain depths.

Went out today and limited on Reds in the first few drops. Limit of 2 is a huge bummer, especially when that's all that seems to want to eat what I'm dropping.

Just finished watching a video clip on Instagram
The guy was pulling in a floating line with what looked about 10 nice size reds in la Jolla.
How many are you aloud on a single line. Last time I went I only used 2 jig hooks

Just watched the video again
10 reds forsure one line
If you go on Instagram and search rockcod la Jolla you can watch the video clip. The guys commit was fishing the rock fish opener here in la Jolla might be the best fishing I ever had fishing from a kayak as he's winding 10 rock fish Hopefully the video is old and the guy is legal, if not what an idiot.

Descender
Promar/AHI has a new descender device that's pretty reasonably priced

Jim- Do you have any idea how strict they are in regards to having one tied on to a rod/reel at all times vs. having one ready to swap like this? Thanks for all the info by the way. Much appreciated. |

The release gear can also be found for free with some good instructional videos if one does some web searches.
