How I understood it is Hoop traps and and Fishing Pole crab snagging traps do not require the $3 crab tag on your license. Closing traps do which would include a pyramid trap I assume.

Sir thank you for that post. That was very helpful. Sounds like typical government office politics/bureaucracy. And we must add that whatever is being taught in colleges nowadays is probably being deployed in this department. We need some sort of management, but let me ask you a question. With...

That is brilliant!! So stranded stays put better, and holds down the mono line.. Right?

I had a good swivel, and it was a two hook jig w/2 oz weight. You're not kidding about the workout... I was non stop too. Yes you are correct. The crab trap is a pyramid trap. That requires a crab license vs. hoop traps. Honestly the Chinese guy was doing just as well with the round hoop trap. I...

I guess that is a thought.. Yea it is a mystery... it's like the line turned into a spring... Very irritating when trying to cast/fish.. I suppose the stronger characteristics make it stiffer and more spring like. As soon as the line was a little loose on the the reel 'POP' and 3-4 for turns...

Brand spankin' new.

Greetings all. Thought I'd share my experiences a bit. Just got back from Half Moon Bay. What a great place. Loved the Oceano Hotel. No crowds, perfect weather, I saw a harbor patrol car but no wardens of any kind. Tiny pier but still nice. Helps with no peeps around. Day 1 at the pier--dropped...

Where in the rules does it say they are or once were illegal? Hmm.....

Next.. very interesting and timely last Saturday. I went to a wedding and had a nice conversation sitting with a retired F&G man. My original post seemed to be relevant to what he was saying upon asking him questions. Some of the take aways from the conversation was "even a lot of the wardens...

Thank you Thefrood: Okay.. I have been high lighting and making my own basic rules sheet to assist me so I don't forget when I am on site out of the book. I read it as bag limit 20 crab, and since we are past the date, no dungeoness crab at all can be taken. It also has to be larger than 4"...

Now as far as the wardens go, I've had no run ins with anyone, and am basically a fun loving guy, but I sense a lot of people put into this position might be more of an environmentalist, vs. a warden subliminally taking pleasure in harassing people they don't like or relate to using lawfare. I...

Okay.. Gentleman... I thank everyone commenting on this.. I did a go through with my highliter to understand rules and regs in the 2025 ocean rule book. As a 30 year still beginner, I am still inexperienced, but did try to study the species. That's gonna be tough to memorize. I'm in Fresno, so...

Now I have to ask.. what is a lobster report?.. This booklet is like 90 pages...

Based on the deep state controlled imbeciles running CA., I was wondering what to expect when a ranger stops and starts giving you the third degree potentially wrecking your day. The rules are so complicated, I can't see how anyone is not guilty of something upon any visit. Thoughts?

Ken Good morning... Got some questions for you.. Gonna head to Half moon Bay for some respite, and I want to surf fish for the first time. I also want to fish off that little pier they have there... and maybe try my hand at crabbing. I have my SW tacklebox ready to go with spiked beach...
