DFG confirms that all areas, not matter what depth, inside of the federal 100 fathom line are fair game:
"Yes, there may be times when you are shoreward of the line created by connecting the Federal waypoints and the water is deeper than 100 fathoms since the line is just an approximation of the fathom curve. You would not be in violation as long as you were shoreward of the line no matter what depth you were fishing. Likewise, you could be fishing seaward of the line in waters shallower than 100 fathoms and be in violation since you were seaward of the line."
