SO...I have a question about sabikis for all ya'll.

Can you use sabiki rigs after you've already kept a RF?
Because I'm pretty sure that you can only use one rod with a max of 2 hooks once you have a RF in your possession.
Maybe I just answered my own question.

In which case, I'm just posting to let ya'll know that you may get into trouble if you use a sabiki after already possessing a RF.

What do ya'll think?

I believe you're absolutely correct on that one.  You can however continue to use a 2-hook sabiki rig once you have rockfish on board. 

The Coastside fishing club has a forum online that is called "Warden McKiver" in which people ask these sorts of questoins.  I ran a search on sabiki there an came across a couple posts about sabikis with salmon on board.  In that case you can still use them assuming you only use two of the hooks and have the barbs bent down.

The lesson here is catch your bait first.

Cool. Thats kinda what I thought.

And the second moral of this story is: Go rockfishing before attempting for salmon instead of vice-versa. Because if you catch a salmon then go rockfishing...you HAVE to use barbless circle hooks.

Ah, but if you go rockfishing first, you have to stay within the 30 fathom line while salmon fishing.

Also, on the issue of barbless circle hooks... you only need them if fishing with bait after a salmon is on board.  Don't tip your jigs with bait and you're all set.
