So they put restrictions on how u can fish for sturgwons AND they wanna charge u for the tag huh? One question that I have tgough, since sturgeon fishing is restricted to barbless hooks in 2013, does that mean one rod only? And as far as I know... As long as you are fishing in the delta with a shrimp bait... U are considered targetying sturgwon. That means whenever u fish in the delta, unless u are using a lure, u are regulated to one rod?

Bought my lifetime license 12yrs ago for $490. That means I've paid 40.83 per year, so far. I paid another 150 for lifetime stamps too...would've cost 32 bucks just for those damn stamps!

Pat,
long ago I was going to take the route you went for a lifetime license. Then I got hurt real bad on my stint in the military and now am way over the percentage to get my license for about what I paid for it way back in the 70's. So if I live another 20 year without drowning my payments will be far les than a lifetime cost. Sometimes life throws you acurve but ya got to roll with it.

I have considered going that route as well, but then I always think to myself, am I really going to stay in Cali?  Furthermore, if I do, they keep on restricting fishing more and more... what if I buy it, and then they all but shut down fishing in CA?  You got it long enough ago, that it worked out... not sure about doing it now though...

What does the category "Ocean Enhancements" for $5.19 cover and also what is the range of "North Coast Salmon" for $6.22?   I am new to Ocean Fishing and am trying to understand the CA fishing license structure.

No 2nd rod for sturgeon:
Second Rod Validation
Required for all persons taking fish with two rods or lines in inland waters, except for waters in which only artificial lures or barbless hooks may be used.

Ocean Enhancement Validation:
Required for all persons taking fish in ocean waters south of Point Arguello (Santa Barbara County). An Ocean Enhancement Validation is not required when fishing under the authority of a One or Two-Day Sport Fishing License.

North Coast Salmon Report Card:
Required for all persons taking salmon in the Smith River System or Klamath-Trinity River System, including persons who are not required to have a sport fishing license, such as persons who are under 16 years of age, and persons who are fishing on free fishing days.

$6.70 for a basic license for disabled veteran is nothing to cough at.

If was up to me; disabled vets would get the license for free!  I don't expect any special treatment for vets like me but those with disabilities should not be charged a penny.  The fiscal impact of doing this would be nonexistent.

I agree with you on the disabled part. But not for all vets. It could get political so I won't explain. Other than I was drafted and rejected. I do thank all vets that served, but there has to be a line some where.

@Seaweed:  read my post again.  I only advocated for free fishing for the vets with disabilities, not all vets.

What is the "second pole" fee for? Who gets to use a second pole, and where?

Thanks.

The second rod stamp allows you to fish with 2 rods unless otherwise prohibited.
