MLPA: Fair warning, closures could start as soon as spring - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The DFG is gearing up to have the ability to enforce at least some of the MLPA regulations. I have a friend who was just hired by the DFG and is currently in their training academy. Although nothing is yet set in stone, there is rhumored to be a new on-the-water position being set up in San Diego, probably based in Mission Bay. Ventura already has such a vessel. I am not sure about the LA area.

The cadet training is an eight month program so I seriously doubt that the DFG will have any new staff to deploy until next fall at the earliest. Even if they do deploy additional wardens, the job will still be much bigger than they will be able to handle with current or even significantly increased staff.
