Ok so this looks to be the final answer from CDFG:
And I quote:
Hello Mr. Gonzalez,
There is no federal constitutional right to fish, the California constitutional provision you cited does not allow you to fish without a license, and if you are encountered fishing without a license, you will be cited. You may direct further inquiries to CDFW's General Counsel:
Nathan Goedde
Senior Staff Counsel
California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife
1416 Ninth Street, 12th Floor
Sacramento, CA 95814

Thank you
End of quote
This will be a long battle, one that I'm not willing to fight, unless I forget my fishing license.
If I did forget my fishing license and got cited for it:
My argument would be that under the 9th ammendment,
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.[1]"
This means that the rights we had before US Constitution.
In my honest opinion you could argue that it's your right to feed your family. Weather or not you win is how prepared you are.
This court case says the Constitution has to be resolved in your favor, your the primary beneficiary.
