SALMON FISHING IS A GO! Howdy everyone. Just a quick news briefing on our salmon season. There will be a salmon fishing season opener on Saturday April 3rd. However, it is unknown for sure how long the season will remain open but for at least the month of April. According to the California Department of Fish and Game the season will run April 3rd through the 30th. See www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/oceansalmon.asp for details. (quote) Pigeon Point to U.S.-Mexico Border (Monterey Bay south) • April 3-30, 2010* • 2 salmon per day of any species except coho • Minimum size limit: 20 inches total length * In mid-April, the Pacific Fishery Management Council and California Fish and Game Commission will determine the ocean salmon sport seasons in effect on or after May 1, 2010.
