OK Maybe not....
Fished Newport, bait everywhere in the harbour, outside around 130-150 feet was tons of the squirts. Bass WFO from Pelican to CDM and a few of these guys hitting the dropper loops.

man i cant stand hitting schools of ronky's they're the lizard fishes twin brother, i swear. nice pics of the sunfish though:)

What are ronkys? It looks like maybe a yellowfin croaker?

looks like a prop found that sunfish first...

never heard of ronkys.. always call them white croaker, tom cod or brown bait..;)

growin up my dad always called em ronkys. thats the only thing i know em as:rolleyes:

Maybe your dad was saying "wrongies" :p

We use to call 'em Ronkies. Nobody would eat them as everyone said they had worms/parasites.

I don't see a barbel under the chin so its a White Croaker, definetly not good to eat. I do see some people taking them home though :eek:

.

come on!
 

its a chupacabra, I know because it was yelling at me in spanish to toss em back. :D

Its not the parasites you should be worried about....I seen billboards of the croakers being contaminated for years in 3 different languages, but people still eat em.

those sharks
 

put up a decent fight . hooked one on a jig with squid recently . my first thought was here it is , a 68 lb wsb . 6- 8 minutes into the fight i realized something is not right . needless to say those things can get very massive , and this one was not small by any means.

squirts meaning squid?

no all the fish had diarirraha!






just kidding yes squid it was everywhere outside the harbour.

:notworthy:
