We check the government sources every hour. When a rule changes or a Fishery Notice lands for Area 11, you get one email.
We email to confirm before anything else, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe. Alerts point at the live page; they are never the rule themselves.
Rules change in-season and we'd rather hear it from you than have someone fish on bad information. Tell us what looks off and we'll check it against the source.
