10/25 Deeper LJ
Launched by 9 am to small surf and sunny skies with no wind. A great fall day to be out on the water.
Ran across some other kayak fishers and helped them with some info, and they even caught some fish. Caught a dozen or so reds, rockfish and sculpin on plastics, between 120' and 170' deep, most released. A few were decent sized.

I don't usually fish for rock fish but would like to give it a try again. My biggest concern is to how to release the fish I don't want to keep and have them survive to be caught another day.
If I remember right, a lot of fish caught deep blow up when brought to the surface with eyeballs popping out. Sometimes they are so inflated that they cannot swim. What is the best way to release these fish? Bob |

If the eyes are popped the fish are not going to make it. If just Bloated you can Fizz the fish and send them back down. Basically it is just using a needle to puncture the air bladder and then squeezing out all the air so the fish can swim down. Everybody should learn how to do this so that they can release flea cod and fish that they do not intend on keeping.
