California Department of Fish & Wildlife

Question: I have a question about ocean fishing from a boat at night. Is it legal to target salmon? What about fishing for salmon on rivers at night? I have looked all through the regulations and can't find anything. Can you please clarify?

Answer: There are no time restrictions when fishing in the ocean unless you are fishing from a beach with a curfew. In inland waters, salmon may only be taken between one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset.
