The new 2017-2018 groundfish (rockfish) regulations are now going into effect on February 7 after a delay. What's that mean? Here's the bullet points for changes for the San Francisco Groundfish Management Area (Point Arena to Pigeon Point):
Boat season opens April 15 closes December 31. Shore or diving open all year.
You can fish out to the 40 fathom line as defined by 50 CFR, Part 660, Subpart G. Click the link or look here for a map with lat-longs.
Lingcod limit is 2, 22" minimum.
Black rockfish limit is 3 and are included in your limit of 10 rockfish.
Canary rockfish limit is now 1 (also included in your limit of 10 rockfish), but you still better move after you land one. There is more than one out there, I guarantee it.
Boccaccio has no separate lower limit and is included in your 10 rockfish. I caught on last year in 150 feet of water, and if you push out towards the new depth limit you will likely catch one (but probably more canaries than boccaccio).

Hope they open up the season on liberals. 8 years enacting mlpa's hope they go away with obama care. We need to seriously make people pass a test to get license.
ab fish...You must realize that you make no sense at all. Do you like anybody? This form is for fishing, and boating news in and around the Tomales, and Bodega Bay area not for your political, or racial comments.
Ab fish is an idiot. He proves every time he clicks on submit.
Anon is a googone id rather be a trump supporting idiot. Have you been to fg commision meetings doubt it support the salmon ass. I sure hope we get a cool summer so the googones from lake and sacramento counties stay away!! Hmmm i never fish bass or salmon in the fresh what makes you think you should play in our back yard
Without the googans, there probably wouldn't be any ocean salmon to fish for. Local sporties are less than half of the local sport fleet. Maybe next time you go out, you'll leave the plug out. One less googan.
Ab fish, I am going to give you a hall pass since you are a fellow Trump supporter, we finally have common sense in the big white house! Love Trump but I do try to get along with all - I claim no enemies. I am a Sac boy and only fish out of Tamales in the ocean - hopefully we can have a beer together and trash talk the other side in a more private setting. The season is approaching soon!!!!
Peace
I can push buttons too!! Not sure if i will fish the opener this year last 2 at soquel hole weren't good. Mayne hmb like 3 years ago. I can tell you this salmon catch is gonna be great again in 4 years the drought is over. Thank trump for that hmm. Thats news
Hey Willy is there a way you can block this idiot ab fish from posting on your form his dribble is offensive to normal people. Oh by the way ab fish what language are you dribbling in? Those of you that agree with me please let willy know how you feel about this buffoon, let's give him the boot......
Shut up and fish all this rain is liberals tears shmuck
