All depths, all fish, no matter what the appearance.

Even fish caught in <10 fathoms have a higher survival rate of descended vs surface releasesed.

For instane, CDFG uses a 21% mortality rate of Quillback caught in <10 fathoms and released at the surface. When a descender is used, the mortality rate is 9%. They make no distinction on the physical appearance of the rockfish.

wow! good to know

General Talk / Re: How often do you wash your outerwear?

« on: April 22, 2024, 03:59:33 PM »

wetsuit, and whatever else I was wearing go straight to the washing machine when I get home - it's a front loader with 'ultra' delicate cycle - typically hang dry after that - though I have put it in the dryer on gentle-ist cycle as well

if its a multi day trip, rinse after every use, hang inside out

I don't like funk or any of those fungus that cause itches.

General Fishing Tips / Re: How many of you have 2-rod stamp?

« on: April 18, 2024, 09:03:55 AM »

I have the two rod stamp, and use two rods while trolling for kokes...though this sometimes leads to huge frustration when I get them tangled, or when one snags as I'm reeling in a fish on the other.

Welcome!

you looking for salt/fresh or both? You should take a look at the Alameda Rockwall Tournament - always fun and a great way to meet folks. Typically a few hookup/week on the boards

Hi Folks, we are only 5 weeks out! soooo looking forward to this weekend...and hoping the weather clears up by then!

for Saturday's potluck, I'm going to start a list of what folks plan to bring - not that it's a restriction or anything - but, if someone is unsure what to add, they can look and see if any items need covering. For example, i don't know what I'm bringing yet. IF DFG, Weather, fishies are good to me - maybe I'll be lucky enough to make up some rock fish tacos from the previous weekends success...or maybe just 'fish stick' tacos - lol.

anyway, if you have an idea of what you might like to bring, either PM me, or drop a note here - and I'll add a list to the top post.

see ya,
Brian.
