I love whitefish! The meat melts in your mouth like butter.
They make the real good fish tacos. Good post. |

I found a rock pile with nothing but whitefish, caught 5 more but released some to get some variety in my limits.

couldn't you have caught 5 other whitefish to reach your limit of white fish to 10? I know that there's 3 rockfish you are not allowed to keep, I see their picture on google images and most of them are like orange/yellow colored rockfish, how can you tell since the red one you caught kinda looks the same a canary or yelloweye rockfish?

About the question about the three rock fish that you can't keep, I wouldn't worry about it. The rockfish that you can't keep in califorrnia are the yellow eye, cow cod and one other. They are really rare to catch and the cow cod are usually deeper like 300 plus feet. I've only seen them caught out on boats and a couple by Santa Rosa island and Mexico. The yellow eye and the other one are usually only caught up north like by Monterey bay and above. There might be more that I don't know of but the would be extremely rare from a kayak.

Hi life the canary and yellow eye do not have white chins. There body shape and the lateral lines give away alot.

Nice collection, thanks for sharing. I caught several whitefish last year but hadn't heard they were that good so I released them. That won't happen again after reading this thread!

Whitefish
I see a lot of whitefish fishing Channel Islands. The bigger ones put up a good fight more fun than the rockfish that make up majority of catches.
Been told they make great ceviche. I've used it mostly in stew and risotto. |
