About
Updated every day from CDFW. Works with no signal. Creel tells California saltwater anglers what's open right now — for your region, today.
CURRENT REGULATIONS BY REGION
See every species' status — open, closed, or partially closed — across every California ocean region. Tap any species for bag limits, size limits, seasons, gear rules, and depth restrictions, pulled from CDFW and refreshed every day.
Creel leads with what's OPEN, not what's closed. Rockfish, lingcod, cabezon, halibut, salmon, crab, lobster, abalone and dozens more, color-coded so you know at a glance whether you're good to fish.
WORKS 30 MILES OFFSHORE
Everything is cached on your phone before you leave the dock. No cell service, no problem — your regulations, MPA boundaries and advisories are still right there when you need them.
HEALTH ADVISORIES & IN-SEASON CHANGES
CDFW closes and reopens fisheries mid-season with days of notice, and CDPH issues shellfish consumption warnings all year. Creel tracks both automatically and shows them next to the species they affect — so you don't fish a freshly closed zone or eat contaminated shellfish.
MARINE PROTECTED AREAS
Browse California's Marine Protected Areas on the official map and avoid no-take zones before you drop a line. SMR, SMCA and special closures, with the boundaries that aren't signposted at the parking lot.
CALIFORNIA ONLY — AND THAT'S THE POINT
Creel doesn't try to cover fifty states. It covers one, properly. Every region, every ocean species, checked against CDFW and CDPH every single day.
WHY CREEL
California's fishing rules change constantly and live across dozens of dense government pages. Out-of-date regulations cost people fish, money and citations. Creel puts today's answer in your pocket — clear, current, and offline — for less than the cost of a single fine.
Creel is not affiliated with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Regulations are reproduced from official CDFW and CDPH sources and may not reflect last-minute emergency orders. Always confirm with CDFW before fishing.
