2025 Oregon Groundfish Regs

As there's a nice ocean day coming here in chilly January, just in case anyone missed this, Oregon is starting the year with a marine bag limit of 4 this year, going up to 5 on July 1 when cabezon open.  We also have a sub-bag limit of 1 on Canary rockfish this year.  Attached is this years 'cheat sheet'.   cheers, roger

"While the year will start with a four-fish daily marine bag limit, the bag limit increases to five fish starting July 1 (with a one-fish sub-bag limit of canary rockfish all year). ODFW heard support for this approach during meetings earlier in the year when it asked for public feedback on how to accommodate the reduced quotas. This approach is expected to provide a stable fishery throughout the year, with a low risk that the bag limit will need to be further reduced in-season. The increased bag limit during the popular summer months will provide the most opportunity as many visitors come to the Oregon coast to vacation and fish during summer and ocean conditions are also much better. The commercial nearshore fishery's bi-monthly trip limits are also reduced for 2025."
