Wait, there are "rock" fish in the Harbors? I always thought of those as more open water species.

They are more of a "deep" water fish. There is a canyon just outside the harbor.

Ahhh......... see I knew there was a reason I needed a graph to fish in the bays. LOL

Yup, graphs are helpful. Specially since it is a lot more work to move across water than a boat. You might be wanting to target a certain depth and a graph lets you plan for it in advance. I like this link

I check it out when I want to explore a new area. You can zoom in to an area and get a pdf file that you can look at or download.

Yeah. Solid population of grass bass up there along with other misc. rockfish such as Browns and even baby reds surprisingly. But, if and when I get up there I'll be hitting deeper spots.
