Relatively common along rocky structure/jetties. That's a female, and like sheephead, they change from female to male as they grow. It's unclear whether this is a progression for all fish, or a population response effect. The males are identifiable by a pronounced black stripe behind the gills.

Hmm I underestimated that distance 5.8 . I did a solo around that area . Then out to the other two islands for a loop on each . Back to harbor entrance by oil island then back to ramp . I WAY UNDERESTIMATED HOW FAR I WENT . Good information that’s . I did all that for a really big sculpin for my only fish .

I went out again this past weekend, pretty much the same route. Only got a small perch and several small calico on squid. I was out mainly to test out the Bixpy motor I just installed. It was nice and flat though and very little wind.
