Albion open 2023

Albion open 2023 soon the campground Start taking reservations
I hope it’s July 1 I can get there a little bit early and start crabbing

I'm not all that familiar with the 2023 regulations. Does that area open for rock fish on 7/16, or is it open earlier?

With the new regs that are coming out are we even going to be able to fish?

Yes

Hope to spend an entire week their.

I sure hope this event happens. Its been way too long since I've connected with my NCKA brothers. The tacoshack is itching to get out and spread some taco love.

The season actually opens in May, but it's only open west of the 50-fathom (300 feet) contour. There is a reef out there, 2.5 miles WSW from the mooring rock (it's actually the ridge along the San Andreas Fault). I for one will not be paddling 2.5 miles to winch fish up from 300+ feet, that doesn't meet my definition of "fun" and it's also just a little too risky at that time of year. I have been caught 1 mile offshore in a sudden and unforecast wind and it made an impression on me.

So realistically the rockfishing season for us kayakers opens July 16 here in Mendocino.

Thank you Tim.
I booked a site to arrive on 7/17 so I should be good.

Do we have a hard date yet on when the Open will take place? Looking forward to another great event!

Hope we get a date on this soon. Looking forward to it.

Wondering if this event will happen this year. Want to make plans accordingly.

I heard a rumor it might be Sept….
but  you know how rumors go….???

Sure hope we can make this happen.  Any update on a date?

Anybody else see the date posted for Albion is September 16th? Or is this a scam? Haven’t seen it posted anywhere.

As I understand it as of right now... It is in September. It is by invitation only. Entrants only camping? Chill/Party's over as far as I know. All Business and that's ok. Just going to have to pick a date in 2024 for a fish and chill for the rest of us that do not enter the actual tourney or????
