California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
Hey I'm very new to all this (ordering my stuff now) and I put this together one night out of pure boredom to help keep myself out of trouble when I hit the water. Anyways I thought I'd post it up here in case there's anyone else that could use it.
This is a list of all the fish, invertebrates, etc. listed in the order they appear in the regs, each one has its own page with a picture, limits, season, minimum sizes and any special rules that may apply to it. There's also some of the more pertinent laws on there. It's mainly for Southern California (SGMA) with a focus on spearfishing. This link will take you to The Pirate Bay to download the files, there are both pdf and powerpoint files, you can use any torrent application to download this. (sorry it was too big to upload here): An updated version thanks to several of spearboards members - I know it says 0 seeders but I'm seeding and have so far uploaded enough for 25 downloads of both formats, plus a few people have chosen to download only one format (as of 26 Aug). So it's definitely working if you're setup to use torrents. EDIT: 10-25-09 - I am no longer personally seeding this as a torrent, if you want it, PM me. This link will take you to Megaupload to download the files, you don't need any additional software to download this way. Just enter the verification code, click download file, then click regular download, select save file, click OK, and the download should begin and complete within 30 seconds: Version 1.3 .PDF only EDIT: 10-25-09 - This is still a working link. For whatever reason Megaupload is not accepting the powerpoint upload so if you want that format you'll have to PM me. EDIT - Here's a link to another helpful site that I found "MarineMap" you can go through and select MPA's, CCA's, Managed Areas, etc. and view them on the map to give you a good visual on where you can and can not spear. You can also view it in satellite imagery. Hope this is helpful to someone out there! Last edited by Everdai; 11-21-2009 at 12:19 PM. |

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
Well I doubt it will help anyone since there are 0 seeders for that torrent~

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
yeah i just looked, it does come up as zero seeders, but i'm seeding it so i don't know why it says that.
I have a pretty fast internet connection and it's not that big of a file so it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to download even if no one else seeds it. So far it's been downloaded at least 17 different times. |

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
Also if there's anyone out there that doesn't have or doesn't want to use a torrent client feel free to PM me with your email and what format you want and I'll send it to you.

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
I'm on a mac and it says I don't have a program to open the file on, what do you guys on macs use to open torrents?
If you could email it to me in a PDF or Excel or Word document that would be awesome. Sent PM with email address. Thanks I actually spent a quite some time looking for something exactly like what you seem to have made the other day as I'm new to spearfishing and uncertain on what every fish is and the legality of shooting them. |

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
Next time don't use a torrent to upload something as small as this. The problem with uploading torrents is that your computer and your torrent program must be on all day long if anyone else wants to download it, because you have the only copy.
Instead of torrents why not just upload it to MEGAUPLOAD so anyone can download it anytime they want? http://www.megaupload.com/?c=signup It's a free and can upload your stuff within minutes.

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
If the file isn't too big why can't you just attach a pdf here?

The limit here was really small, I think it was about 1/10th of the size of my pdf, I guess I could chop down the quality but then you'd be squinting to read some of the stuff. I just meant it's not going to take all day to upload from my connection, the pdf is 14MB and the powerpoint is about 11MB, so it's about the same as 4 or 5 mp3's for each version. |

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
What about just making a PDF, and leave it at that? One click, and BINGO, problem solved.

Well the limit to post a pdf attachment here is just barely over 500kb, I didn't think I could rar a file to less than 3.5% its original size so I didn't even try, I'm using Megaupload to upload the files now like spearthebigones suggested. I'll post links to that shortly in the OP. There is an option to download the file in either .pdf or .ppsx (Microsoft Office PowerPoint Slide Show) format, or both if you like. |

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
This sounds really helpful. (The pdf version at least -- it's a more universal format.) I just usually stay away from torrents from habit since I don't leave my computer on all day.

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
I already know what I am shooting at; I was just mentioning for those who might want the info.

There is now a link in the Original Post to download the PDF version without using a torrent client.

Re: California Spearfishing Regulation Helpful Supplement
Hey Everdai - neat file. I'm still getting used to identifying the local species out here, and the pdf you put together will help. Thanks!
A comment: the barracuda photo you put in is for the Great Barracuda - found in the atlantic and carribean, not the pacific ocean. Here's a pic of the pacific cuda. Looks awesome though. Thanks again! |
