California Department of Fish and Wildlifes (CDFW) California Recreational Fisheries Survey (CRFS) private and rental boat survey data are summarized by yearly catch per unit angler (CPUA) of reef dwelling fishes within standard 1 reporting blocks. This feature illustrates fishing locations and catch rates at relatively high spatial resolution. In addition to private and rental boat tracking, CRFS also collects data on commercial passenger fishing vessels (CPFV AKA party boats), beach and bank fishing as well as fishing from manmade structures. This feature focuses on private and rental boats only.
CRFS catch records for Cabezon, Greenling, Kelpbass, Lingcod, Rockfish, Scorpionfish, and Sheephead are aggregated for this analysis. All catch of these species were summed by year and attributed to the locations which were recorded during the survey interview. The total number of anglers that targeted bottom fish in each block by year was also determined. CPUA is a simple calculation of the number of fish caught divided by the number of anglers targeting those species within a particular 1 block in a given period. This summary includes the statewide CRFS sample data filtered to blocks where a minimum of 4 anglers per year visited that location.
