Black Plague:
man! this has maybe been beaten to death...but geez, we will be out at Neah Bay August 9-14 for some fishin...I guess you can only retain black or blue rockfish...unless you are out past the Banilla tatoosh line....no other rockfish may be retained...like quilbacks, china rockfish, copper rock...etc....and you can only have 15 bottomfish total ...good thing there are a dozen of us going...

I actually went out to Sekiu a week ago and between me, my cousin and his friend, we only caught 10 black sea bass between the 3 of us for 2 days worth of fishing. We actually caught more copper rock than black sea bass, I wanna say it was like 20 of them for the 2 days plus we actually got a 9 lb yelloweye but had to toss him back even though he was dead from being reeled up from 200 ft.  :bash:  Seems to me that there is alot less of them out there then there used to be a few years ago ( or maybe we just suck at fishing  :chuckle: ). We actually caught way more lingcod than anything else, plus we each got our halibut too.

PolarBear:
That 9 lb yelloweye was probably close to 30 years old.  What a waste.  You think the regs suck now just give it 5 years and there will be 0 fishing for any kind of bottom fish other than lings and halibut and their limits will be cut down to nothing.

Isnt it only legal to fish 120 feet and above for bottom fish other than lings and halibut? To protect the rockfish?  Thought i read that in the regs this year.. Maybe I misread anyone care to clarify that????

PolarBear:
Yes but I think that it only applies to the Puget Sound and San Juans.  I'll haver to go look it up.
