What fish are in season?

I always get confused with when fish are in season (except maybe crab). So I figured I'd share my list, keep in mind this is a changing list, so always check with your state dept. of wildlife when you get your licensing:

  • Bass, Codfish, Eels, Flounder, Haddock, Halibut, Salmon, - All the year.
  • Blackfish - April 1 to Nov. 1.
