Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Viewing squid on the fish finder« Last post by Todd W on Today at 06:27:50 PM »Here’s a few photos from last may when the squid was thick. The first photo shows squid suspended and spread out, the second is what it looks like balled up on the bottom. This was peak squid season so these marks are really visible, later in the year as it fades away expect most of it to be on the bottom but in much smaller quantities. The marks on the bottom will be 1/4 the size of what you’re seeing in the second picture. Last year we were catching squid in December but it was all on the bottom like the second picture. I’m running a garmin echomap 9” btw. Also knowing the area helps distinguish potential squid marks from other fish marks. Over sand is where you want to be. The squid can be found from the coast guard beach to about a half mile past lovers point. It also comes in in front of the tides hotel. Depths range from 60-140.

Safety First / Re: Morel danger - RIP pmmpete« Last post by Rick on Today at 06:21:18 PM »That's very sad and very strange. I guess any kind of food poisoning can be lights out if you are older or have underlying health issues.
Pro-tip: the best way to cook morels or any mushrooms is to "wet saute." Cover with water, bring to a boil, let the water completely boil off, then throw in butter/oil/lard to saute. Much better and more even cooking than "dry saute" and you guarantee they'll be cooked through. 4

CA Regulations / CDFW Warns Dog Owners to Be Mindful of Salmon Poisoning Disease« Last post by Hojoman on Today at 06:01:09 PM »April 23, 2024
Dog owners in California are reminded to take precautions to protect their pets from Salmon Poisoning Disease. Salmon Poisoning Disease is a potentially fatal condition seen only in dogs after they eat certain types of raw or cold smoked fish like trout and salmon that are infected with a bacteria-like organism, Neorickettsia helminthoeca, which is transmitted by the parasitic flatworm (or “fluke”) Nanophyetes salmincola. Nanophyetes salmincola occurs naturally in waters of northern California and most of the north state can be considered the native range for the fluke. But dogs throughout the state are susceptible. Dog owners are advised to be cautious and to keep their dogs away from salmon, steelhead, trout and other freshwater fish carcasses. The parasite cannot survive in cooked fish, is not harmful to humans and does not affect pets other than dogs. If your dog has eaten or is suspected of eating raw fish, watch for signs of the disease. Symptoms are similar to distemper and may include some or all of the following: a rise in body temperature, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness and/or rapid weight loss. If signs of the disease appear, promptly take your dog to a veterinarian. Salmon Poisoning Disease is treatable if caught in time. If untreated, death usually occurs within two weeks of eating the infected fish. Without treatment, 90 percent of dogs showing symptoms die. While all fish caught or originating from streams in California could potentially be infected, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) cautions that trout stocked in some waters in CDFW’s North Central Region are more likely to be infected with the flukes that cause Salmon Poisoning Disease. Weekly fish stocking information is publicly available at CDFW’s Fish Planting Schedule web page at https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FishPlants/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery. 7
CA Regulations / California Fish and Game Commission Holds Hybrid Meeting« Last post by Hojoman on Today at 05:57:53 PM »April 23, 2024
The California Fish and Game Commission acted on several issues affecting California’s natural resources at its April 17-18, meeting in San Jose. The Commission approved a major amendment with special conditions as recommended by the Department of Fish and Wildlife to an experimental fishing permit related to pop-up gear testing in the Dungeness and rock crab fisheries. Several Private Land Management (PLM) areas were approved for five-year or annual plans and one area was approved for their initial plan. More information on the PLM Program, including lists for hunters and applications can be found on the Department’s PLM website. The Commission voted unanimously to readopt, for an additional 90 days, emergency regulations for the recreational take of white sturgeon to support recovering populations and to track fishing pressure and success. A unanimous vote confirmed the Commission’s determination that listing Southern California steelhead as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act is warranted. Findings for the determination will be adopted at a future meeting. The Commission adopted proposed amendments to waterfowl and mammal hunting regulations, which are expected to be effective June 30, and July 1, respectively. A unanimous vote confirmed the Commission’s determination to list the Mohave desert tortoise as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act. Findings for the determination will be adopted at a future meeting. The Commission also hosted several speakers to recognize the 100-year anniversary of the extirpation of California’s grizzly bear, including Chairman Octavio Escobedo III of the Tejon Indian Ranch. A resolution recognizing the anniversary was adopted by the Commission, and two commissioners plan to provide an updated version in the future for Commission consideration. The Department’s Director, Chuck Bonham, also announced the release of a Black Bear Conservation Plan for California. The public comment period is open, and comments must be made by June 14, 2024. Commission President Samantha Murray, Vice President Erika Zavaleta, Commissioner Eric Sklar and Commissioner Darius Anderson participated in-person and were joined by a variety of Commission and Department staff. The agenda for this meeting, along with supporting information, is available on the Commission website. Archived video of past Commission meetings is available online. The next California Fish and Game Commission meeting is scheduled for June 19-20, 2024, in Mammoth Lakes and via Zoom and phone. A location will be determined and updated on the Commission’s website soon. 8
