Bottomfish bag limit reduced to 4, effective July 1, 2018

Kinda saw that coming.  Anybody know any information on the longleader fishery within reach of a kayak launched from shore?  I'd be up for that trip if anyone has any ideas.

We should all have seen it coming after the non-scientific decision about bag limits.  Rats!

Wouldn't long-lining be a bit of a challenge in a kayak?  That's a long, long leader setup.

I looked at the maps.  Looks like PO has the best structure close for kayaks to access the long leader fishery.  Coos Bay and wnchester bay also have kayak accessable structure outside the 40fm mark.  it would have to be a bluebird day though in either case.  I'd love to give it a go.  Do you have any reports locally for the long leader fishery?

I'll check with folks on the dock  and let you know.  I know everyone's bringing in bottomfish right now, but I didn't ask how they're catching them.   

bump!
