The Pacific Fisheries Management Council, at it’s Sacramento meeting this week, has announced three options for the California recreational salmon season in 2010. They range from a full-blown season to none at all. Keep in mind, these are the options and the National Marine Fisheries Service gets the last say on the matter in April.
But for now, here’s what’s being considered…
Option 1
Ft. Bragg: April 3 through November 14, 24″ minimum (was 20″)
San Francisco: April 3 through November 14, 24″ minimum
Monterey: April 3 through October 3, 24″ minimum
Option 2
Ft. Bragg: April 3-30 and July 1 through November 14, 20″ minimum (now closed in May & June and 20″ minimum, same as SF)
San Francisco: April 3-30 and July 1 through November 14, 20″ minimum
Monterey: April 3-30 and July 1 through October 3, 20″ minimum (now closed in May & June and 20″ minimum, same as SF)
Option 3
Ft. Bragg: Closed
San Francisco: Closed
Monterey: Closed

If the water allocation and hatchery issues were resolved then I would be all for another closure.Seeing as that has yet to happen then I think we should have a season for sporties.Most likely in a couple of years when we struggle again with water we will have another closure.
Dear Frank Mocerino,
I am looking for a long lost Brooklyn friend who’s maiden name was Francine Mocerino. I remember that she had a younger brother Frank. Both Francine and I went to Ditmas JHS and Erasmus Hall HS in Brooklyn in the 1960s.
This is a stab in the dark as I am not sure if you are Francine’s younger brother Frank, but I thought I would try. I have thought about Francine for many, many years. I remember her dad used to call her by the pet name of Cookie.
If you are related to Francine Mocerino V-h, please e-mail me back with how to contact her. I reside in Staten Island and would love to get in touch with her. If you are not related, sorry to bother you.
Many thanks,
Andrea
Hi Andrea…I have been looking for you too. I went onto Facebook a while back, but I couldn’t find anyone named Andrea Wolodiger. I figured you must have married but I didn’t know your married name. I can’t believe you were looking for me too. You were right…I have a younger brother named Frank but he does not go on Facebook. His wife Vicki happened to find your letter when you wrote to the other Frank Mocerino who is on Facebook. I can’t believe you remembered my nickname used to be Cookie! I graduated from Erasmus in 1967. My e-mail address is above. Please get in touch with me…I’d love to catch up. Hey do you still speak to Lily? ( Rabinowitz?)
Francine,
It was just by chance that I came back to this website to see if you ever left a message. Writing to this Frank Mocerino was a shot in the dark and he was kind enough to answer me back. I do not use Facebook and your e-mail address did not appear in your post above. It is virtually impossible to find you under you married name. Belive me, I goggled and searched everywhere and you name does not appear anywhere.
I did marry and my name was Andrea Mancino, now Andrea Simon. My e-mail address is [email protected] and I still live in one of the five boroughs. Please try to contact me at this e-mail address as I don’t want to leave my phone number here. Hope this does the trick! I have thought about you many, many times over the years and would love to catch up with you.
Yes, I still have contact with Lily too!! I will also check back with this site again.
Andrea
i say close it 2-5 more years and then re-evaluate for opening a season
Keep it closed so the Klamath Indians can gill net the breeding stock and completely decimate the last of them.
i agree with don close for 1 more year
I really hate to say this guys but my vote is to close it.
