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?
looking for ex bc seine boat Bessie Mac we sold it to California years back
Dan, unfortunately Bessie Mac was cut up in Moss Landing C.A. about ten years ago. The harbor there would not sell it to my friends and I . They insisted it was a hazard and had to be dismantled.
