UPDATE: They did change. Look for a newer post.
The PFMC meeting is still ongoing, so things may change, but as it stands today the three options for for salmon in the Bodega/Tomales area ( Point Arena to Pigeon Point (San Francisco) ) are:
1. April 1 - October 31, Seven days per week. (C.6).
All salmon except coho, two fish per day (C.1). Chinook
minimum size limit of 24 inches total length through April 30,
20 inches thereafter (B). See gear restrictions and
definitions (C.2, C.3).
In 2018, season opens April 7 for all salmon except coho,
two fish per day (C.1). Chinook minimum size limit of 20
inches total length (B); and the same gear restrictions as in
2017 (C.2, C.3).
2. April 1 - July 30, five days a week, Wednesday through
Sunday (C.6). August 1- October 31, seven days a week (C.6).
All salmon except coho, two fish per day (C.1). Chinook
minimum size limit of 24 inches total length through June
30, 20 inches thereafter (B). See gear restrictions and
definitions (C.2, C.3).

So, as things stand, as long as you don't only get Monday and Tuesday off it doesn't look too bad. It looks like you'll be able to try to catch salmon, at least.

Agree, this doesn't look nearly as bad as I was expecting. Just glancing over the options they are not too far apart from each other ......I was expecting and part of me was hoping for a little more help for the salmon. We'll have to wait and see what the final outcome is, then we will need to hope for some bait in the waters off Bodega - if no bait shows up we will all have a limited season after all.
what if you're retarded, I mean retired?
You get days off from salmon fishing. You can finally relax.
What gear restrictions were being described? Barbless hook?
Just the usual, barbless hooks, barbless circle hooks for mooching, one rod per person, etc. No surprises, yet.
Restricted gear, A cain pole and a 50 ft line, GOOD luck!
Thanks for the reply Willy! (gear restrictions)
