Why would you listen to a guide as opposed to reading the actual regulation. It is black and white just read the dfg regulation.

Because it's their job to know what the DFG allows and does not allow. Would you go fishing with a guide or captain that did not guide by what the DFG regulations dictate? The two guys I am talking about are probably San Diego's most well known guides and I for one would listen to what they said when it comes to rules.

I read what the DFG is stating, and I do not believe that was written with the Alabama rigs in mind. Keep your eyes open for updates that will include the Alabama rigs for Saltwater and Freshwater.

Don't get me wrong I see your point, but I just don't think the reg books have caught up with the new gear yet. I apologize if anything that I have typed came across the wrong way. Not trying to be a jerk here, and I know you're not also. As we all know our DFG isn't the most with it group of people.

Well at least I agree with you there.

Old salts and old cops...too often they're stuck in whatever regulations were around when they were still green(with the exception of the "big changes"). I'd stick to the book in this case, it's the only thing you can use in court.

Sunday morning before the Fred Hall show started, a couple of DFG wardens were heading to their booth and passed close by. We were just debating the number of hooks that could be used in the salt so I asked them. They said "let's go look it up." One of them picked up the regs booklet and read it to me. Then he showed me the section that he was reading and it was exactly what YakMedic posted. 28.65
So according to him, 3 hooks in the fresh and 5 hooks in the salt.
