And what is that cabezon bullcrap. Hardly anyone fishes them and few anglers keep them.....lets cut the limit in half cut the season off AND set an arbitrary length limit...again, making calls to change and limit fisheries with no research to back it.

Having attended many of the sessions where sturgeon issues were discussed I disagree with your position that there is no research to back up the actions the Commission just took. Worse, there are population stressors currently not within the State's perview to control. Like it? NO. Think it prudent at this time? YES.

Now, as for cabazon.....I certainly did not see data from the State which supported the action taken. Let's just hope that the press release presented the salt water changes of most concern to fishermen (that is, those having the most adverse impact on opportunity).
