What kind of jig were you using? Looks like a slow pitch or something of that sort?

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.

Agree with you poor answer to the question, I don't see a problem what so ever with your trip. Especially with the depth you were fishing not causing any injury.
Great report man.

Awesome job! Wish I could have joined you. I think johnny bass should be legal since their name contains the word "bass". After all, they're not called johnny rockfish.

That's Funny, depends on where you are located. In Norcal you say Johnny Bass and people get all confused. They are called by there proper name which is Olive Rockfish. They are indeed part of the rockfish family. Kind of like some people call blue rockfish - Blue bass.

But wouldnt that be nice.
