DO NOT TRUST this app!!!

I was counting on using this app to help with rockfish, identification and regulations. Unfortunately, the regulations are six years out of date, and have changed significantly! Fortunately, I had at least some familiarity with current regulations, and was able to avoid keeping illegal rockfish (listed as legal in this app) that could have resulted in a huge ticket.
In addition, their listing/map of marine protected areas is incomplete; Cordell bank national Marine sanctuary is absent!

Response from developer

Hi, all current regulations are updated on the app daily. Cordell bank and many other features are on the app once you have a Pro subscription. Please contact support@fishlegal.info for assistance.

Easy to use, shows where u are

No one has time to futz with an app while fishing. This is easy to use, shows where you are. Good reference for no fish zones and showing your location helps keep you out of the No zone areas. Very helpful. Use it a lot.

useless

This app provides frustratingly imprecise positioning combined with a practically useless operator interface. Don't waste your time.

It would be quicker to drive to sacramento and grab a copy of the rules and memorize them.

Great site

Quite impressed with the function of being able to see how close you are to an MLBA showing your location. On the screen does not show you where you are until you press a little button on the top left corner. If you didnโ€™t know that you would not know you have that opportunity that I know of of knowing how close you are to our MLPA but quite impressive in my opinion.Also like the fact that you can press that location on an MLPA and it tells you the legalities of what you can do in that area again quite impressive.

Very helpful

A game warden in the Monterey area recommended this app to me and my fishing buddy. This is the simplest, most convenient way Iโ€™ve found for knowing the boundaries of the conservation areas and their fishing regulations.

Broken

App cannot tell where you are at even with access to location

App has the fish I was looking for

Thereโ€™s definitely more pictures needed for some of the fish . I like the layout and organization more than any books and itโ€™s a good price for a full year

Great app

Please add crabbing regulations

Great simple app

Love how easily I can double check the species and regulations.

Great app

Worth getting the pro
They did a good job getting all the information you can get for free all in one app for us.
It takes a lot of time to get this info and plotting it out on your charts.
One guy said there off on the size limits of rock fish , well he has wrong information for California.
Only some rock fish have size limits, not all. He must throw back a lot of fish.
