REGS: DO NOT KEEP THIS FISH :smt018
-
DO NOT KEEP ME
(even though I'm half dead from being pulled out of a hundred feet of water)
As Brian / bsteves mentioned before: these are schooling fish, If you catch one - move on to another spot to reduce the killing of more Canarys :smt045

Live and learn. Again thanks for the heads up :smt006

Sudmucker,
You guys were in pretty shallow. There's a good possiblilty that you picked up a Copper, and not a Canary, as Canary's are generally at 100' plus.

Caught in Carmel Bay 10/15/06. Came up healthy and went back down the same way. :smt001

Was that 58 feet? I thought Canary Rockfish were deep water Rockfish :smt017. I guess someone forgot to tell the Canarys :smt003.

Hard to read, but I think it was 131 feet.

At Fort Ross, on Saturday 10/14, I caught two canaries at one time in 55 to 60 feet of water. I had a total of six for the day and they were all caught in water less than 80 feet deep.

I hardly ever fish deeper than 100 feet and I always catch a few canaries. Especially in Carmel Bay...have had days when I couldn't escape them!
If you're worried about barotrauma, just get a Shelton Release and rig it inline above your offering.

I get my share of them all the time. I've heard in deeper water during a "state bilogical" study, a boat caught a lot of bomer sized canaries and the marked schools were huge. Why are they protected?

In my rock cod id. the cow cod looks similar. I know it is not a cod you can keep. Does anyone have a photo of one? Thanks, Bulldog :smt001

Beautiful photo Moochie.
Here's another canary RF. Caught at Da Cove in approx 50ft.

Sounds like the conservation measures are working. I caught several juvenile canaries while pre-fishing Albion before the meet. Almost all were in the 40-60 ft reefs around kelp. Some did not have to be descended; they showed no signs of trauma and didn't waste any time getting down.

Working redundantly! :smt044

I noticed from these pics that a lot of the fish had the tell tale black spot on the dorsal fin.
