I have been carrying laminated Saltwater Fish ID Chart (8-1/2"x11") for the last several years and giving out to new fishermen. 
Since I fish both North and South the fish size and bag limits are too cumbersome to remember.  I pulled out this chart many times to confirm I got the correct number of fish and make sure to release the protected species.  I print it double-sided and laminate to make it waterproof and simple to carry under my seat. 

I didn't see any regulation changes since the end of last season.  If you see any errors, please let me know.
Feel free to download (pdf file will be more clear) and use or ask me for a copy if you run into me.

I'm a little out of the loop to find errors but I sure do appreciate your sharing this!  I struggle each year studying before I go out to ensure I am within the law so this is a life saver!  Thanks!

You are very welcome.
In my opinion, our fishing regulation is too complicate and difficult to follow.
We need to help each other and share knowledge to able to follow the regulations.

One question.
What does bag 3/5 or bag 10/5 mean?

Some fish got different bag limits based on the location.

Example:
28.15. HALIBUT, CALIFORNIA.
(a) Limit: Five in waters south of a line extending due west magnetic from Point Sur, Monterey County,
and three in waters north of a line extending due west magnetic from Point Sur, Monterey County.
(b) Minimum size: Twenty-two inches total length.

Thanks for clarification.
Is the first number south and the second number north?

Amadeo Bachar is an excellent artist and generous soul to our community and events. You can purchase these from his website, please don't use these without providing him with the compensation he deserves.

These appear to be directly from the DFW regs booklet, which are widely distributed, so I would assume it’s acceptable to make copies. But hopefully the Dept is paying Amadeo to use his illustrations, there’s even an ad for his work on the copy of the regs booklet. :-) That’s what I’d recommend if you want the real deal ID chart, go to www.abachar.com
