The device must be used to release any rockfish species when fishing outside of 40 fathoms. It is easy and cost-effective to make your own descending device.During all-depth halibut days, longleader gear fishing or the traditional general marine bottomfish fishery (lingcod and black rockfish) may be combined with halibut . The longleader fishery and traditional bottomfish fishery cannot be combined on the same trip.Click here to view online ODFW news releases.The commission adopted the Pacific halibut sport seasons and regulations April 18. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
