Hello, Just wanted to know if anyone heard about if there will be a salmon season this year in the San Francisco Bay. Thanks Hi Jon, looking at this years regs (http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/sportfishing_regs2009.asp) I see nothing suggestion that salmon will be closed in the SF area this season. Specifically the regs say this about salmon: 27.75. salmon Closures. (a) No salmon may be taken in ocean waters at the mouth of the Smith and Klamath rivers within three nautical miles north and south of a line drawn due west for three nautical miles from the center of the mouth of each of said rivers. (b) No salmon may be taken during the months of August and September in ocean waters at the mouth of the Eel River within two nautical miles north and south of a line drawn due west for two nautical miles from the center of the mouth of said river. (c) No salmon may be taken during the month of August in ocean waters at the mouth of the Klamath River within six nautical miles north and south of a line drawn due west for three nautical miles from the center of the mouth of said river. 27.80. salmon. (a) Methods of take: (1) General Provisions. Only by angling as defined in Section 1.05. No sinkers or weights exceeding four pounds may be used, except that a fishing line may be attached to a sinker or weight of any size if such sinker or weight is suspended by a separate line and the fishing line is released automatically by a mechanical device from the sinker or weight when any fish is hooked. See sections 28.65 and 28.70. (2) Barbless Hooks. No more than two (2) single point, single shank barbless hooks shall be used in the ocean north of Point Conception (34º27’00” N. lat.) when salmon fishing or fishing from any boat or floating device with salmon on board. (3) Other Hook Restrictions. When fishing with bait in the ocean between Horse Mountain (40º05’00” N. lat.) and Point Conception, if angling by any means other than trolling, then no more than two (2) single point, single shank, barbless circle hooks shall be used. The distance between the two hooks must not exceed five inches when measured from the top of the eye of the top hook to the inner base of the curve of the lower hook, and both hooks must be permanently tied in place (hard tied). A circle hook is defined as a hook with a generally circular shape, and a point which turns inwards, pointing directly to the shank at a 90-degree angle. Trolling is defined as angling from a boat or floating device that is making way by means of a source of power, other than drifting by means of the prevailing water current or weather conditions. See Section 28.65(g). (4) One Rod Restriction north of Point Conception. Salmon may be taken by angling with no more than one rod in ocean waters north of Point Conception. See Section 28.65(e). (b) season: (1) north of Horse Mountain (40°05’00” N. lat.) and Humboldt Bay. All waters of the ocean north of Horse Mountain and in Humboldt Bay are closed to salmon fishing for 2008. (Note: In 2009, the season will be decided in April by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and California Fish and Game Commission and the section will be amended pursuant to the regulatory process.) (2) between Horse Mountain and Point arena (38°57’30” N. lat.). All waters of the ocean between Horse Mountain and Point Arena are open to salmon fishing from February 16 through April 4, 2008. (Note: In 2009, the season will be decided in April by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and California Fish and Game Commission and the section will be amended pursuant to the regulatory process.) (3) south of Point arena. All waters of the ocean south of Point Arena are closed to salmon fishing for 2008. (Note: In 2009, the season will be decided in April by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and California Fish and Game Commission and the section will be amended pursuant to the regulatory process.) (c) limit: (1) Two salmon per day. See sub-section (c)(2) below and Section 1.17. (2) Statewide Silver (coho) Salmon Restrictions: No silver (coho) salmon may be retained. (d) Minimum size: (1) North of Horse Mountain: Twenty-four inches total length. (2) South of Horse Mountain: Twenty inches total length. |
