Recreational Crab Season California 2024. To reduce marine life entanglement risk, recreational crab public notice will be provided a minimum of 5 days in advance dungeness crab season or before a closure becomes. Monterey bay’s ongoing closure has inspired some area fishers, like sea harvest moss landing, to source crab from partners in newport, oregon, where fewer whales roam.
This area includes sport fishing regulation summaries for the morro bay area. For example, in 2024, most of the california coast closed the dungeness crab season early on april 8 due to risks of whale entanglements from crabbing lines.
