Overnight/Camping Ocean Bag Limit

What are my options for keeping fish on a two day overnight boat-in camping trip? E.g. catch 2 halibut day 1, done for day two? Or must keep all fish whole and provide proof of overnight stay?

The daily and posession limit for California Halibut is 2 fish so no more than 2 can be kept at any time.

South of Point Sur, Monterey County, the daily bag and total possession limit is five fish.

You aren't allowed to have more than a daily limit in your possession on your boat.  There is an exception if you have a multi-day trip permit, but from your description you don't qualify for that.

Got it. Thanks all.

I admire your hope or dream of getting ur limit on day one!
I’ve caught Halibut but have been skunked fishing for Halibut a lot more  than catch them…
But I hope you score!
