The way I read the text at the top of the "what can I keep" notice is that the descender needs to be onboard regardless of the depth being fished, if you are fishing for bottomfish.   It needs to be deployed when releasing at the 30 fathom mark. 
"A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own,
and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."
