Found the most recent DFW Q and A very interesting had to do with targeting halibut up north when the season is closed for rockfish but regardless could play into effect for the so-cal guys.

Think the answer personally is pretty poor, but this was it.

Thanks! I agree, that is a poor answer. I was fishing in a fairly shallow spot <100' so the Johnny Bass were a surprising by catch. The majority of the fish I got were sand bass with maybe at most 10% of my catch being rockfish. None of those guys had any barotrauma so fish mortality was out of the question.

Slow pitch it is.
