Thanks for posting this Paul. The app is a great backup but I think I will still keep my paper copy to avoid having to hand my phone to the warden while bouncing in the ocean. Usually just waving it at them is good enough.

Actually, the table I just sent is almost the same as sandwg's fist table. I assume the difference is rockfish**

Interesting. I think the problem is indeed in the buttons. I initially selected Rockfish** assuming this was all rockfish. However, the asterisks are not wildcards as I thought they are footnotes denoting that this category is only rockfish that were not identified to species. When I select all rockfish species and rockfish** I get the attached table. It is indeed trending up, but not as dramatic as your first graph. Still interesting that there was a big jump in 2022, right before the quillback problem.

I had posted annual commercial takes for the US in another thread and it was very flat for the last 20 years.  But the NOAA also allows you to query their databases and you can pull up by state / species.  So I queried California, last 15 years, all species of rockfish.  The results were eye opening.   Commercial rockfish take is climbing very rapidly.  Columns are Pounds, Tons, $.

I'm getting different numbers when I run the query, using this page, https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/foss/f?p=215:200

Same here. Attached is the table that I see. Harvest was much higher until 2003 and then dropped dramatically and has stayed pretty steady since. Note that I did not include all years for clarity. This is a great site by the way. Thanks sandwg for posting it.

That thing is hilarious. I could see it in a Monty Python sketch.

Mine was over a year past warranty and I was the second owner. They still replaced it free of charge!! Awesome company.

Thanks for the update Paul. Is the meeting tomorrow something we should attend?

Those are some crazy dudes. It's amazing how well they handled that thing in the waves. Their paddling was in perfect sync going out. Great winter thread.

General Fishing Tips / Re: Kayak loading on tailgate spoiler

Thanks y’all. Good advice here as usual.
I will give the Codinter device a try since it’s the simplest option. My Odyssey doesn’t have rails or hatch, so first order of business would be to install the rails and crossbars.
I’ll report when I make progress
I've tried those, it doesnt stay on all time and will slip when you put weight on it.

I tried something similar and the kayak slipped off unless it was perfectly balanced and pushed. I set it right back.

I use a Rhino tack T loader and it makes loading on my CRV easy. I can even easily avoid my antenna on top.

A friend of mine bought one last year and has been going out a bit but I have never seen one one the water myself. To me it doesn't seem worth it due to the heavy restrictions. As TeeKay mentioned you might as well just get a boat.

Very cool. I didn't know all that was up there. I'll have to slow down the next time I drive by.

Thank you Paul for your efforts and diligence!

+1

+2 I think your efforts have put the kayak community on the CDFW radar for this issue. I really appreciate your efforts.
