Fish Talk / Re: 2024 Comerical Crab season closes April 4th (Northern Managment Area)« on: April 02, 2024, 12:49:07 PM »
Is it really that big of a hit to commercial fishermen? 80% of the yearly commercial landings are caught in the first month of their season. And by now commercial boats have transitioned to other fisheries.

CA Regulations / Re: Proposed 2024 Groundfish Regulation Change Summary (3/22/2024)« on: March 28, 2024, 01:13:46 PM »Just for me personally, I've caught a lot more verms in recent years than prior. Last year probably more than any other single year. But, I could have just gotten better at fishing So for your sample size of 1, your data suggests that we should increase the verm limit. Got it. All the data is here, https://www.pcouncil.org/documents/2022/01/the-status-of-vermilion-rockfish-sebastes-miniatus-and-sunset-rockfish-sebastes-crocotulus-in-u-s-waters-off-the-coast-of-california-north-of-point-conception-in-2021-december-2021.pdf/ And yes, since 2000 the fishery has steadily been improving, going from below the minimum target level, to crossing over the maximum target level in 2015. So yeah, it is understandable your increased verm success. The current concern is effort shift increasing the catch too much, pushing the population back down below threshold. -Allen 25
CA Regulations / Re: 2024 Groundfish Regulation Change Summary (Approved on 3/26/2024)« on: March 27, 2024, 07:25:42 PM »Ya agree about the clutter on the kayak for sure I would descend all fish regardless of whether they look like they’d swim or not, especially the ones with quotas. There are many studies showing that the appearance of the fish at the surface doesn't always lead to the desired outcome (survival), and descending all fish has a better overall outcome. Or at least I recall this “fact”. Chris, is this true? -Allen 26
CA Regulations / Re: 2024 Groundfish Regulation Change Summary (Approved on 3/26/2024)« on: March 27, 2024, 04:06:24 PM »Fellas. If you really care about the well-being of a big YE or other rockfish you want to release, please pack the extra lead. I know that packing extra lead is a PITA, but you'll get used to it. It really sucks when you're trying to descend a big old rockfish and you don't have enough lead with you to do it. +1000 -Allen 27

My hesitation is mandatorily adding up to 32oz of lead to my platform for an unverified life expectancy of said released species. What do you mean by unverified? There is plenty of science to back up the survival rates. -Allen 28
