Hi all,
Newbie here.
I wanted to do a second run at HMB - not sure what's catch-able and "in season" at this point. It sounds like rock fish are out.  Maybe CA halibut and perch - does anyone perch fish from their kayak?
I am thinking about dropping a crab pot.  Any tips on where in HMB or anywhere else?
Last week I dropped it near the outer jetty off to the left as you exit the HMB harbor. Nothing but small dungeness and a few rock crab.


Thanks for the tips!
Ken

I made this post a while back, aimed at rockfish but it will answer your questions:

There are links to DFW maps for determining what is open where you want to fish and where the Marine Protected Areas are.

this is sitting on my desk on a 3m note
white sea bass 3 per person @ 28"
halibut 3 per person @ 22"
stripper 2 per person @ 18"

then again I took that off the  2013 central area dfg regs not the 2014

Thanks for the input- will really need to study up on the rockfish. Maybe get me a laminate card.
Thanks Crash for the repost!

Holy crap things are a lot more complicated than when fishing with my dad about 30 years ago!
