The 2026 season dates are still undecided as several pieces of legislation move through the state house. A propsoal to protect breeding females from catch and release in April and May has been acted on by the representatives delaying the catch and release season until mid-May. Most likely the season will open for rockfishing May 16th and run until July 31st. The season will be closed in August to protect rockfishing from catch and release mortality during the period of warmest water temps in season. September until December will be the late summer/fall season. When the season is open, the minimum size for striped bass is 19 inches and the maximum size for striped bass is 24 inches. One fish per person is the creel limit.

We are trolling looking for bird shows to catch the fat fall schooling stripers. Good very early morning bites and great evening bites have been the pattern this November. Weekdays have been the most productive avoiding the crowds of boats on weekends, but really all days have produced some decent to great fishing when they decide to eat.
