I think I’ve caught this guy probably 10 times near the bull kelp. Species?

Sebastes Chrysomelas ????

The mini halibut is a Sand dab.

The raked Mackerel is most likely the work of a Bonita. Could be a cuda, however with Bonita being caught and the fact the rake marks aren't slash like. I'd go with Bonita.

Thanks Sterling, I actually knew the sand dab, but i'm a horrible

Bonie was my guess for the slash marks, but I also think it was a 70 lb wsb.

I think chris got my rock fish. I never know what those things are. It is pretty funny though, that without fail i can go to a little spot near the bull kelp and always pull one of those up with 1 or 2 drops of the mega bait.

I'm pretty sure the crab is a kelp crab.

Either way, this only re-enforces to me how important this next MLPA meeting really is. La Jolla, Dana, Malibu are such diverse fisheries, that each one of us loves for different reasons. I love ocean fishing because you never know what could end up on your line. To think that without us fighting for them, our best areas could be gone with a few swipes of a pen, makes me sick to my stomach.

See you guys all there in October

Nice report. Looks like you had a great time no matter the outcome. All for a good cause. Hopefully there will be another Moyer Tourney next year.

nice report Steve. Is that your camper? As soon as I had kids I bought one to keep the camping going.

Nice report! Last time I was out at LJ I picked up sibling rock fish just like that on my sabiki.
