I'm really curious just where all these quillbacks are reportedly being caught.

Anecdotally, Crescent City had a banner year for quillback this year.  I saw several reports with a retained quillback and a note that there were several others encountered.

I have caught several quillback in CC before.  I don't recall ever catching one south of there.

I like the way you maximized the limited space in the back of your truck.

Up front too!  So maxxed - I barely fit in there.   

Good thing my crabbing spot is just 8 miles or so up 101 at King Salmon, California.

I knew I recognized that road. I love that seafood place at the end of it.

It’s for sale!

Sorry if I offended anybody I have changed the title to Pike minnow.

You have not offended anyone here no worries! I didnt know until recently either!

Meh.

It’s such a small gesture to stop using squawfish.  Some folks are deeply offended by the continued usage of modestly objectionable place names but no one is giving up anything by changing the name of squawfish or negro bar or whatever.  Those place names can rest in the dustbin of history.  Just use the new names.  Or as in the case of the reversion to native names like Patrick’s point being changed to sue-Meg up here, just go with the new yet ancient name.

It costs you nothing.

San Clemente island is off limits. Good thing you didn’t go there.

There are bass and yellow perch in the river below iron gate.  I've caught yellow perch in a crawdad trap at klamathon bridge before.

Go to Humboldt Bay, Trinidad, or Crescent City.

There is no spot south of Eureka that will be open for rockfish and crab on the 4th of July that would be appropriate for your purposes.

From the CPFW map below it seems Rock Fish can be taken from all depth in Humboldt County? (north of Shelter Cove) But I don't know where are sands for crab or rocks for fish, more detail will be helpful. thanks.

Trinidad is probably your best option then.  Crabing is right out front of prisoner rock and rockfish are near rocks, theres a protected launch and its all really close.

If you need to stay on shore, CC is probably better, you can crab off B street pier and fish rockfish at the groin or on the jetties. 

The line for the northern management zone is the 40 10 line which is in the middle of nowhere and impossible to get to without really really trying.  Need a power boat or a overnight hike or skillz like Mr. X.

Can't kill Kevin.

Glad to see you upright and still fogging a mirror.  Demotion be damned.

Any plans to harass the local trout?

I feel like I missed the background discussion about this idea/petition. Why would we petition to reduce the bag limit by 50 percent?

I’m not sure that there has been much proposed here that I actually support with the exception of mandatory descenders. I could probably be talked into a slot limit for lingcod if it also extended the season.  Other than that…
