My Son in Law owns a boat that he fishes out of Crescent City, CA. I wonder how I can follow what’s going on with their closures and openings. Is there a website specifically for that area?
I enjoyed your site very much. I just never find much information on Northern CA.
Hi Laura: Yes, it would be nice to have more from Northern California. Maybe you could ask your son-in-law to send along some photos.
Does the California Dept of Fiah and Game have a commercial fisheries page like they do in Alaska?
