Hey there bobbybigfish,
That could very well be true. The DFG website doesn't always provide info in a nutshell and you've gotta dig. DFG regs I saw were talking of regs till Dec/31/03. The common depth cut-offs I've seen are 120 feet and 180 feet on the rockfish, bottom fish, ground fish, etc.
This year the regs stated 2 hook ganions. Next year may be different, I sure don't know.
Our esteemed fishing writer, George Van Zant, mentioned a closure on Sculpin till next June. I assume sculpin are considered rockfish or at least bottom or ground fish!
I've heard, the DFG and associated agencies will make detailed closure announcements on the 21st. We'll know more then I trust.
