PFMC says salmon season is official

The PFMC has announced the official salmon season.
PDF news release attached.



Recreational fisheries in southern Oregon and California run from May 1 through September 8 in the Brookings/Eureka/Crescent City area, and from April 6 to at least October 6 in areas further south. South of Point Arena, the fishery will be open five days per week, Wednesday through Sunday, between June 1 and July 9; and seven days per week otherwise. In the Monterey area, the minimum size limit will be 24 inches for the entire season. For the San Francisco area, the minimum size limit will be 24 inches from April 6 to July 31, but 20 inches thereafter. North of Point of Arena, the minimum size limit will be 20 inches all season.

Isn't AREA kind of a loose term. Where are the actual boundaries?

Rob, that's how they have it broken down in the DFG(W?) guide now.  See page 9. https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=59205&inline=true

That's for ground fish, not Salmon. The wording is very vague for salmon areas in this new reg section. The 3 different cities listed are My 1, then it says further south it is April 6, I guess to point arena. Where does the further south area start south of Eureka? No specifics.
