Recieved an email from DFG this morning that the 2004 regs have been adopted---- if we can get an exemption from Executive Order S-2-03 by the Governator.

The DFG is trying to stick it to us again- :amgry :amgry :evil:
Our current regs allow for the take of ling cod- 2 over 24". They are wanting to change that to 1 over 30"!!! now that pisses me off because most of the lings over 30" are females. Can you believe the state wants us to deplete out best brood stock? We have a letter campaign at
http://www.allcoastsportfishing.com/dcf ... 15669.html - if you are in California, please join us!!!


edit-- we lost big time--- limit is now 1 fish over 30"

Charlie, after reading the epistle from the Commonwealth of Virginia, I remember why I quit fishing in salt water.Many & I mean many years ago my Dad's brother had a farm on the Chinkiteague Bay (spelling? ) I can remember fishing for stripers when huge schools would break water like minnows.
