What is swordfish season in California?

There isn't a specific "swordfish season" in California, as they are typically caught year-round in the waters off the coast.

However, there are periods of peak abundance and fishing closures.

* Peak Season: Swordfish are most abundant in California waters from April to October. This is when the water temperatures are warmest and the fish are more active.

* Closures: There are occasional seasonal closures or area closures for swordfish fishing due to conservation efforts. You can check with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for the latest regulations and closures.

Note: While swordfish are available year-round, the best time to catch them is generally during the peak season.
