I realize that Franklin Point (south of Pigeon Point) lies within the Ano Nuevo Reserve, but the reserve only extends 200 ft offshore there.
Can we launch and paddle out beyond 200 ft to fish? I know it's "sharky" but that aside, what are the rules for fishing here?
May the fish be mighty and the seas be meek...

Hey M2 I 'm not sure, but this is what I could find.

 Page 7-8
Can I travel through or anchor in
an MPA with catch onboard?
Yes, transit and anchoring are allowed.
The language is found in Section 632
(a)(7) and (8), Title 14, California Code of
Regulations:
(7) Anchoring. Vessels shall be allowed to anchor in any marine
protected area or marine managed area with catch onboard
unless otherwise specified in sub-section 632(b), areas and special
regulations for use. Fishing gear shall not be deployed in the
water while anchored in a state marine reserve. Fishing gear,
except legal fishing gear used to take species identified as allowed
for take in sub-section 632(b), shall not be deployed in the water
while anchored in a state marine recreational management area,
state marine park or state marine conservation area. Anchoring
regulations shall be consistent with federal law and allowances
made for anchoring required by emergency or severe weather.
(8) Transit or Drifting. Vessels shall be allowed to transit through
marine protected areas and marine managed areas with catch
onboard. Fishing gear shall not be deployed in the water while
transiting through a state marine reserve. Fishing gear, except
legal fishing gear used to take species identified as allowed for
take in sub-section 632(b), shall not be deployed in the water while
transiting through a state marine recreational management area,
state marine park or state marine conservation area.
*A Note about Elkhorn Slough and Cambria SMCAs...
In order to designate a State Marine Park, California State Parks
requires another regulatory process in addition to that of the Fish
and Game Commission. Elkhorn Slough SMCA and Cambria SMCA
were both designed as SMPs but were adopted as SMCAs, and will
be converted to SMPs in a separate action.
