Ahoy tharrr!

Greetings fellow anglers! My name is Pat and I enjoy fishing around Sonoma county and beyond. I've generally targeted rockfish and Dungeness crab. Would love to expand my horizons to other tasty creatures. I'm looking forward to the upcoming crab season! Does anyone expect gear restrictions or know when they typically announce them?

Cheers!

Welcome aboard Pat 

Thanks!

Hey Pat welcome 

Welcome Pat! 

Welcome to the madness!!

  May you catch many large fish!

Welcome, SMF.

I won't ask why your fingers are smelly...

Go Pat go!  No handshakes for you, a fist bump will do.   Always gear restrictions, always delays, always to be announced.  Someone will post on the forum if these new common freedoms, within the dfw and the powers that be, discover reasons to “protect the populations of all species”.  Stay tuned and get those “hoops”  ready for 11/4?  I’m thinking hoops are the only restriction I can think of vs. pots.  I’ve found hoops to be mo bettah anywayz for yak life.  That’s all I got…

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Welcome Pat.

Lots of great folks and information here for the asking.

Well, for the most part. 

Was this picture taken after you took off all your safety gear? Please be safe my friend. 

Lots of great safety info that can be looked up here or just ask.

Welcome!

Nice first post liyobim895 

Welcome Pat! I think it's going to be hoops vs commercial style traps again and I believe they're required to announce 5 or maybe 10 days before the scheduled opening day for your region. I just ordered a few of those promar ambush traps from cabelas. $65 each, plus buoy, line, and bait jar.
