from what i understand the commercial season stops right before the c&r season in the bay. there are also limits as to the size and number the commercial guys can keep. nothing over 28" is allowed.

there has also been a great comeback since the moritorium that was put in place. we are seeing more and more rock in the rivers, and larger ones.
