sorry for the crazy delay in responding. the rot cord is mandatory for traps does not matter the management area. the validation is for pots no matter where you fish with them still need it even off a pier, its new validation/fee CDFW charges to use them. Before you fish any management area, check your area for season closures as well as Trap restrictions based on whale intanglement risks, this change very often! good luck
whales are in the hundreds in our fishing zones so I guess it makes sense, what doesn't is traps vs hoops other than the duration of service, when I asked cdfw why, it was simply said that because hoops must be services less than 2 hours whereas traps can lay up to 9 days
Does the boiuee,rot cord, and crab validation apply to crabbing with pots off of a pier in socal?
