NPH 4/18
 

Met up with User45 and Primosurf. Was on water by 7, hit the bait barge for a bit... Lots of bait but nothing hitting. Went out rock fishing. Concentrated around 185'. There were 6+ of us out there fishing from yaks. It was slow for all of us. Did manage one nice red. Also landed a fish I have no idea what it was. Looked like maybe a bass but smaller mouth and had a number of funky jagged lateral lines. Wasn't 14 so I tossed back... Didn't want to chance it if it was a hybrid. Good talking to Primo and 45... quality guys. No one got skunked but no one killed it either. The three of us were back in by 11am.

Good thing it wasnt bigger then 14 probably a juvenile white sea bass

Good catch! I hope to catch them soon.

Glad you caught something. I'm going tomorrow, gonna be out before the crack of dawn.

Wasn't a web caught plenty out young ones these were jagged vertical lines. if it were not for the smaller mouth I would have said bass for sure, like a small mouth bass. Wiz I hap a pic :confused:

Perhaps a kelpfish? what was the color?

It was really nice meeting you Caddisx! See you again out in the water soon!:cheers1:

Not a kelpfish. It was lighter with these kind of lateral lines... Nothing vertical. I have looked at my book and pics and can't find anything like it. :confused:

I ended up with 4 reds -1 johnny bass- 1 of the biggest white fish I have ever seen. -2 sand bass and one sand dab released the dab and on of the sand bass.

Did it look like this? I'm trying to figure out what could have been that deep that looked like a bass. http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ivrockkira.jpg
