Recreational salmon fishing resumes in California this weekend for limited time
After a two-year shutdown, fishing boats will fan out along the California coast angling for Chinook salmon this weekend as recreational fishing resumes under strict limits. Coastal salmon fishing was banned in 2023 and 2024 in an effort to help the population recover after years of declines. While commercial fishing remains canceled for a third consecutive year, fishery regulators recently decided to allow a limited season for recreational fishing on certain dates and with strict quotas. 'We're all very excited,' said William 'Captain Smitty' Smith, who was readying his charter fishing boat Riptide at Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay. 'There's a lot of buzz all around the harbor with everybody getting ready for it.' Smith and his two deckhands have been buying bait and preparing hooks, nets and other gear to take 18 passengers fishing Saturday and Sunday. He said within hours of the April announcement that limited fishing would be allowed, 'my regulars all called and basically filled the boat.' Smith is 71 and has been in the charter boat business for 50 years. The last time he was able to take passengers fishing for salmon was in 2022. As his business has struggled during the last two years, he has turned to other types of outings to make ends meet, including fishing for rockfish, leading whale-watching trips and holding burials at sea where mourners scatter the ashes of loved ones. He said anglers are 'chomping at the bit to go.' Each person will be allowed to catch up to two fish per day. Read more: U.S. panel calls for suspending commercial salmon fishing in California for third year The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is limiting ocean fishing under quotas in two windows in the summer and fall. The first is set to open Saturday-Sunday and allow for up to 7,000 salmon to be caught statewide. If that number of fish isn't reached during the opening weekend, salmon fishing will be allowed until the limit is reached in subsequent stretches, which may include July 5-6, July 31-Aug. 3, and Aug. 25-31. In addition to Half Moon Bay, fishing boats are expected to head out this weekend from other harbors in Central and Northern California such as Morro Bay, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Bodega Bay and Fort Bragg. 'Given the 2-year ocean salmon fishery closure and the short duration of this fishing period, angler participation is expected to be high,' the department said in its announcement. 'Anglers should prepare for crowds and long wait times at public launch ramps and marinas and consider travel, parking, and launch ramp conditions when finalizing plans.' The agency said fishing will reopen in the fall in some regions — including from Point Reyes in Marin County south to near Half Moon Bay, and from there to Point Sur in Big Sur — under a separate harvest limit guideline of 7,500 Chinook salmon. The fishing industry depends on fall-run Chinook, which migrate upstream to spawn from July through December. For decades, government-run hatcheries in the Central Valley have reared and released millions of salmon each year to help boost their numbers. Read more: Salmon populations are struggling, bringing economic woes for California's fishing fleet Other salmon runs have suffered more severe declines. Spring-run Chinook are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and winter-run Chinook are endangered. Biologists say salmon populations have declined because of a combination of factors including dams, which have blocked off spawning areas, the loss of vital floodplain habitats, and global warming, which is intensifying droughts and causing warmer temperatures in rivers. During the severe 2020-22 drought, the water flowing from dams sometimes got so warm that it was lethal for salmon eggs. Although that drought was a major factor behind the declines in the salmon population, those who work in fishing also blame California's water managers and policies, saying too much water has been pumped to farms and cities, depriving rivers of sufficient cold water at the times salmon need it. Smith said he hopes to see 'responsible water management' where state officials prioritize river flows for fish, as well as efforts to restore floodplains and improve hatchery operations. Read more: 'A beautiful thing': Klamath River salmon are spotted far upstream in Oregon after dam removal Because salmon typically feed in the ocean for about three years and then return to their natal streams, the decline in the numbers of surviving juvenile fish during the drought left a reduced population of adult fish. Scientists expect the population should improve somewhat next year because of the boost they received during 2023's historic wet winter, though they also caution that the situation facing California's salmon remains dire. Smith said one change that has nurtured his hopes came last year, when the last of four dams were dismantled on the Klamath River in Northern California, enabling salmon to reach upstream spawning areas that had been sealed off for more than a century. 'I'm very hopeful for our future,' he said, adding that he is thinking about his 13-year-old grandson and the next generation. 'I want there to be a fishery for my grandson. I want him to be able to experience the thrill of catching a fish in the ocean.' This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

WWE: Zoey Stark's injury on Raw derailed Kairi Sane's return, here's how
The May 19 episode of Monday Night RAW garnered attention as the Money in the Bank qualifier triple threat match featuring Rhea Ripley, Kairi Sane, and Zoey Stark took an unexpected turn. WWE fans were eager to see the return of the 'Pirate Princess' Kairi Sane to the ring, but the match saw her taking the pinfall to Rhea Ripley. This happened due to Zoey Stark suffering a knee injury midmatch, leading to Rhea and Sane improvising the finish. Zoey Stark went for a missile-kick dropkick on Kairi Sane, but landed awkwardly. This was followed by a vigorous scream from the star. Stark required immediate medical attention and was removed from the match, leaving a confused Rhea and Kairi inside the ring. Zoey Stark injury slowed down Trigger Warning : it's definitely bad #WWERaw Due to that, the match ended in a way that was not planned. Fans have been wondering if Zoey Stark was supposed to win the match (due to her consistent performances in MITB) or was she supposed to take the pinfall. Let's look at what was reportedly planned to happen in the match. Kairi Sane's return took an unexpected turn due to Zoey Stark's injury According to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), Zoey Stark and Kairi Sane were planned to do stunning spots in the match, leading to Rhea Ripley overpowering the two. However, the sudden injury led to an 'impromptu' match between Rhea and Sane. Bryan Alvarez said, 'The other two had to work an impromptu match since Zoey was going to be doing a bunch of spots and taking the fall, but she was not there,' WELCOME BACK KAIRI SANE! Can she beat Rhea Ripley and Zoey Stark to qualify for the Women's #MITB Ladder Match TONIGHT? 🪜#WWERaw He further added, 'So they basically just stalled out a long one-on-one match until Rhea pinned her (Kairi Sane) with the… Riptide.' Kairi Sane returned to the ring after suffering a torn ligament in her thumb during a tag-team match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on the December 2 episode of WWE Raw. Her return was highly anticipated by the fans, but the unexpected situation in the triple threat match led to the 'Pirate Princess' eating the pin from Rhea Ripley. Instead, Zoey Stark was planned to get pinned by 'Mami'. WWE management can still help her regain her mojo by giving her a few wins on the road. It will be interesting to see if they explore the Damage CTRL angle with Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane after the release of Dakota Kai.

Watch: Zoey Stark Suffers Brutal Knee Injury In MITB Qualifier On WWE RAW
Last Updated: Zoey Stark's Money In The Bank dream ended due to a knee injury during a triple-threat match on RAW. She hurt her knee attempting a springboard dropkick. Rhea Ripley won. An unfortunate injury has ruined Zoey Stark's Money In The Bank dream. The WWE superstar hurt her knee while attempting to hit Kairi Sane with her patented springboard dropkick on the latest episode of RAW. Stark, who faced Sane and Rhea Ripley in a triple-threat women's MITB qualifier match, landed incorrectly on her leg at South Carolina's Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Her knee was awkwardly bent the wrong way, causing a brutal-looking injury. Following an intense collision with Sane, Stark collapsed on the ring, holding her right knee. She appeared to be in much pain, and the official immediately called for medical assistance. After the ring doctors checked on her, Stark tried to walk off the arena. She, however, was unable to get back on her feet and was later carried away backstage. Damn, looks like Zoey Stark blew her knee out! #WWERAW — The Movement – Pro Wrestling (@TheMovementXx) May 20, 2025 Doctor needs to carry Zoey Stark to the back 🙁 #WWERAW — The Movement – Pro Wrestling (@TheMovementXx) May 20, 2025 Michael Cole doubted that Stark might have re-injured her knee. The 31-year-old previously underwent surgery for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in 2021. WWE has yet to make the official announcement on her recent diagnosis. After Stark was forced out of the MITB qualifier match, AEW Superstar Thunder Rosa wrote a heartfelt message on social media, wishing her a speedy recovery. Rosa emphasised the risk of suffering injuries every time a wrestler gets into the ring. 'Wrestling is a beautiful and dangerous sport. We give our all every time we step into the ring, and we also risk a lot when we do what we love. Zoey Stark, I love you, sister, and I hope you recover soon," Rosa shared on X (formerly Twitter). This was the first RAW appearance for Stark since January. She remains the last member of Pure Fusion Collective following the departure of Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler. Before her return to the roster, Stark was mostly seen on house shows and the Main Event. After her previous injury at NXT, she was included in the WWE Draft of 2023. After Stark left the arena, Rhea Ripley dominated the women's qualifier. She ultimately used the Riptide to pin Kairi Sane to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match, scheduled for June 7.
