Now how is the average Joe, (or Yani), supposed to know that the DFG has changed their regulations when what is printed in their regulation book and posted on their web site says the season opens on April 1?. If you do a Google search for "lingcod season California 2010" the first thing that pops up is this link.

Further down the page it says the Groundfish, including Lingcod season opens on May 1. So which line in this official document are we supposed to go by.

I did learn one thing that I did not know by reading this document. Pacific Halibut season does not open until May 1. Not that I have caught any but I was fairly sure that there was no closed season for Halibut. Live and learn.
