I'm looking forward to the opening in the Nanaimo area on May first. Is there a possibility area 28 will open up this summer?

In 25+ years i have never kept any rock fish.though i am sure a high percentage have died(now have release at depth tool).IMHO,too much pressure on them,35 years to reach reproduction maturity,habitat destruction,over fishing...seems a waste to kill the last of them just cause it tastes "good"
Plus catching them is absurdly easy and boring..again one opinion.i'd like to see it stay closed

Yes ling cod reach maturity far sooner than rock fish.
Ling cod opened on April 1 in Area 25 Esperanza/Nootka.
