When the state and Federal possession limits are different, the most restrictive requirement applies for fishery participants that have both state and Federal permits.
In May 2018, we implemented a final rule that moved the month of October from the Summer period to the Winter II period. The 2020 Winter II period with the revised quota and possession limit shown above begins October 1, not November 1 as in previous years.
