There are more and more Federal reg kicking in now. They override the State regs up to a point. The point is if the State says no more fishing in X area or catching X species of fish, then the Feds cannot override that.
We have an erroneous species here in Cali. You are only allowed 1 of them in my area. Some of the areas that we stop to fish, yield a 10 to 15 minute stop for the boat load of passengers because there are so many of these fish, that you cannot keep them off of the line.
Here is the kicker!!!! Once this fish comes up, it is basically dead. You can Fizzle the air bladders and all but they go through a tremendous shock from the trip up.
Fish and game are hanging around to give you a ticket for throwing the dead fish back in the water. (Intentional wast of game) they call it. Then they board your vessel to make sure that you don't have an excess of that species of fish.
