Hi!
I got my OW this Tuesday, and I bought some spearfishing gear today, planning to bring home dinner now and then.
But I am getting conflicting information from people regarding what I can and cannot do..?
My questions:
1. Where in Orange county can I hunt lobster, diving off a beach? I hear that everything south of Newport is closed, and some say it's only the main beach in Laguna and a reef north of Laguna Beach. Anyone know for sure?
2. What fish spieces are legal to take, AND TASTE good (I am 100% for eating what I catch. If I can't or wont eat it, I will not hunt it!).
I will never be a threat to any spieces, as I might catch a couple of meals a month at max, but I would like to have the opportunity to "grab" dinner, when it's right in front of me....
If there is a regulation map online, I would love to get the link to that, so I know for sure where to go.
I would be thankful for any info you have
