From the Angler's Guide
Bottom fishing on sandy flats in bays and nearshore coastal areas. Light to medium conventional or spinning tackle. Guitarfish are strong, surprising fighters for their size. They are edible — the wings and cheeks are prized — and are subject to size and bag limits in California. Check current CDFW regulations.
