In short, if you want to keep rockfish right now you need to take a boat ride to the Islands. The Regs are a little confusing but rockfishing is something I have done a lot of study on.

Where does one find these dates you speak of?

If you do catch in Mex. don't forget to fill out declaration of entry form before entering back to U.S.

If you are fishing on the Charter boats out of the Landings you are safe. If you are on a private boat then you need the declarations. Trust me on these dates here in American waters you do not want to keep rockfish right now.

It's in the DFG regs but on this side of the border rockfish are off limits until March 1st and Lingcods are April 1st.
