Ross, Baja (baa-haa) California, the land of tofu has had a ban in place for years now , its sort of like shore to 1000 ft
out is closed to shelling, but you can take any fish , sea urchin, or tons of kelp and you just need a license, the only
protected species is this dayglow qrange thing called a garabaldi bass. so idf you hook something that looks like a traffic
cone either throw it back or place it back on the road .    ferret
