NOMAD MAD MACKS IN STOCK!
There is a delay for the April 1 opener due to the regulation adoption process. We hope to see the regulations change for 2024 in early April. Read below from the D.F.W!
The 2024 groundfish seasons are expected to be reviewed and approved by the Office of Administrative Law and take effect in state waters in early April. The Commission and California Department of Fish and Wildlife staff have worked diligently to expedite the adoption of state regulations to allow boat-based anglers to get on the water beginning in April. Until the 2024 regulations are approved, the 2023 regulations remain in effect.
