So I say, hold on to your knowledge and build a larger riff between the newbies or mentor them in the hopes that they some day will give back what they have learned. The choice is yours and yours alone. Rick

I'll share everything that I know about the rules and regs, and I have on plenty of occasions, but I'm not going to spoon feed it. There's a difference between giving someone a hand and giving someone a handout. Clarifying things after one has done their own vetting and is still confused falls under the former. Spoon feeding it because one is too lazy to at least put in the effort falls under the latter. Once again, this is why I made the statement that this thread was better served stickied in the main section than in the rules/regs/MPA section. Now there will be no excuse for not putting in the effort first, as its right there at the top of every page in the CA section. On that note, I think that we're drifting far off course for the purpose of this thread. Perhaps it would be better served if we split this discussion off into it's own thread.

Mike, I agree with everything you just posted. You guys here are a tremendous help. I guess I took it the wrong way at first. Please keep up the great work. Enough said

Re: California fish and game laws
Great thread guys. Thanks for your efforts and thoughts on the subject.
It is unfortunate that the regulations on something we love so much are so complex and changing. I've pondered this a lot and am inclined toward the view that there may be no other solution that would improve the situation. That doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying. |

Re: California fish and game laws
Hey guys,
My first post. I fish H&L, I spearfish, hoop and dive for lobs, and I surf... new to spearing. I am also a college grad and I have to say, I have been on the DFG website for countless hours in bed next to my wife who is like "what the hell are you doing till all hours in the night?"... and I am still majorly confused by the regs. I have made phone calls to the DFG to ask questions and they've had to call me back sometimes days later after running things by supervisors etc... Craziness. I wish there was a picture chart of all the types of fish, with simple bag limits, size restrictions and seasons. I've been on this board and often links are expired or people just direct me right back to DFG. One guys simply wrote the names of each type of fish and their size and bag limits and he got railed for being misleading... The DFG website is a major pain in the ass to navigate (but I do it, diligently) It certainly seems like there should be a simpler way, and I keep waiting for it to show up... and hoping that someone will have the answer to the newest "latest and greatest easy read" regs chart. But an 88 page manual of complete legal jargon is pretty F'ing complex to store in your head... and since the option of keeping a laminated copy tucked into your wetsuit is out... So until then, sometimes people will have to post "stupid questions" on the site and hope to not be railed as lazy. I am a newbie, a nub, but not lazy. I will not shoot anything that I am not 100% sure of the regs for... and that limits me quite a bit... but I am constantly reading, memorizing and evolving, so each time I go out, I have more options. I guess I took this opportunity to make my first post and get over the intimidation of entering an arena of people who know a whole lot more than I do. So far reading this board has been a great way for me to learn and more than anything, I wanna say thanks to all the contributors. Thanks for the patience and thanks for sharing with us who are learning. I will always respect the ocean and the living beings in it (us included). We all have something to learn from everyone. In specific regard to this thread, thanks to those of you who do anything to help make understanding the regs easier for others. Much appreciated! |
