Research Help! Chromis punctipinnis, Blacksmith
I need your help. I'm trying to collect Blacksmith this summer for a research project. I need to collect about 30 whole fish by the end of the summer. The fish collected will be used to help form regression equations for calculating length to weight ratios. I have caught several recently off La Jolla and other places but need your help! See website below for pictures and species information. http://www.oceanlight.com/lightbox.p...s_punctipinnis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromis_punctipinnis If anyone can catch and keep a few of these guys for me I will gladly trade good beers in exchange. They are easliy caught dropping a sabiki on bait balls near the kelp line or within. Pm if you are interested and think you can catch any... thanks for the help! I need it.

nope, dead is perfect! Just try not to bleed them as it is important to get the exact weight... let them expire on their own time.
Today was slow, lots of bait, no current. Got hit hard in 90 ft. Slash and burn, never pulled drag. Nice surface conditions. No wind.

I'd be happy to help.
About 30 years ago I helped a buddy with a research study on opaleye. He needed alot of them alive so we used slurp guns to collect them. |

I'm not an expert ichthyologist, but that's no perch^.

That might screw up your length to weight ratios!

Fog burned off today around 11, very foggy all morning prior. Nice glassy conditions as I type this. Not many people on the water.
I was diving saturday and saw tons of the little blacksmith in shallow. They were in less than 20 ft of water. I also saw a 8 lb plus calico in less than 10 ft of water off the rocks near boomers... nice fish in close to the beaches... go get em... .

Dos Balleñas, many Blacksmith perch on the sabiki today in LJ, probably released 10 or so, but moved to avert catching more. I didn't know you still needed them, otherwise, I would have kept them.

I was out yesterday looking for bait by the kelp and 50 yards from the kelp and couldn't stop catching the blacksmiths, first time, I kept moving and I kept catching them. If you want some, I will bring some in later this week if they are still there.
