Rockfish season

Here in northern California the rockfish season closed 8/15. My question is, did it close all the way to the Oregon border?

Juan,

You might find this page helpful when trying to decipher CA ocean regs..

http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/fishing_map.asp

The map is clickable and will take you to the current regulations

Looks like rockfish is still open in the Northern Managemnet Area (between Cape Mendocino and the Oregon border) until Sept 15th.

Brian

Thanks Brian.

wow that website is great

We're open up here until 9/15, Juan.  And the line isn't at Cape Mendo...

Make a run across the border and rockfish are open all year...but then again, we don't have a governater 

OR-caught fish wouldn't count towards AOTY though. And I assume that's why Juan is interested. In which case....yeah...rockfish season is closed. 

Really appreciate the link to the web site. Thanks!

Great thread!!!

according to that post rockfish is open until november 15th

according to that post rockfish is open until November 15th

Not unless u are below point arena or up from cape of mendo  off topic...after reading that wonderful link thx Brian...I realized that i would've been fishin real deep in Stillwater no, last few days 180 FOW, where as no of point arena-cape mendo...120 FOW...why is that? anyone know??? I fished 50-80 FOW and rocked and felt better on my C & R fish because they went back healthy!!!

dang pencil pushers taking away my rock fishing. have to be happy with going after shark an ray in the bay.

Now I am confused--not all of NorCal is closed--according to the DFG Site (http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/bfregs2009.asp) for Point Arena to Pigeon Point the RCG Complex is open until Oct 15th; OR border to 40°10' N. latitude (near Cape Mendocino) is open until Sep 15. It is 40°10' N. latitude (Cape Mendocino) and 38°57.5' N. latitude (Point Arena) that closed Aug 15th.

Stripers are heading into the Bay and Delta about now so that's an option. Lake del Valle Stripers ought to be up and feisty when it starts to turn over in a month--true of the rest of the foothill lakes that have them as well--if you don't mind the drive. Stripers are doing at the Forebay.
