Southern California private-boat sport fishermen: how familiar are they with the sport fishing regulations?
1980
Wine, Vickie L.
Anglers frequently violate sport fishing regulations out ofignorance, by mistake, or by deliberate action. To determinewhether unfamiliarity with the regulations plays a major part in this problem, we asked anglers on privately-owned,trailerable boats at launch ramps and boat hoists a series of questions which tested their knowledge of the regulations.We found that on any winter weekend about 30% of the anglerson private-boats knew none of the size limits, 50% knew atleast three of the six size limits, and 4% knew all of thesize limits. Only about 25% of the anglers kept a copy ofthe regulations on their boats for reference when fishing.The results of the survey indicate that greater effort mustbe expended to familiarize sport fishermen with the fishingregulations.
