this was posted on the Coastside site.  i know everyone here will agree that this is a major accomplishment in the efforts to keep the rec. fishing community on the water.

Yesterday the PFMC decided to put in season adjustments for rockfish on the calendar for April. The California delegation went so far as to suggest unless something comes up that there will be an adjustment. This is exactly what we wanted to happen.

We are still a long way from getting something close to what we want, but it seems like the momentum is now going our way.

I want to thank the coalition and all the Coastsiders that sent letters this really helped, along with our Coastside rockfish survey by Dan Wolford.

Remember this was just the first battle, so we will keep working hard.

Thanks for your club support. Our fishery is too important not to care.
