California's charter fishing crews are gearing up for the return of recreational salmon fishing this weekend after a two-year hiatus. The shutdown aimed to support the struggling Chinook salmon population, and while commercial fishing remains prohibited, limited recreational fishing will be allowed under strict quotas. Charter captains, such as Captain Smitty, are preparing boats to accommodate eager anglers, reinforcing anticipation and community engagement. Each angler can catch up to two fish per day, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has arranged fishing windows for the summer and fall months.
Fishing will be limited under strict quotas, allowing only recreational anglers to fish for Chinook salmon on select dates, aiming to boost their struggling population.
Captain Smitty expressed his excitement about the fishing resumption, noting the strong interest from regular customers who eagerly filled his boat for the upcoming weekend.
