So I laid in the coords for LB up through Malibu, and it appears that point-to-point, there's a lot of water within the boundary that's deeper than 600 feet/100 fathoms. I'm going to call CA DFG Monday to get some input but I'm wondering if that means that one could actually be fishing deeper than 600 feet and still be within the 600 ft/100 fathom curve legally. I'll update if/when I get more info.
