MBK 6-12 lingrockies

Lauched out of MBK with Eric and family at around 7AM.The morning was flat glass and the winds were light until we landed around 12:30.Fished the yellow can and along the Row for a mixed bag of gopher,blue,grass,copper rockfish and cool looking tree fish.I also landed a 28" ling on a megabait.
I ate fish tacos until I passed out.

Cool report.  I've never seen a fish like that striped one - Treefish?

 

treefish, only got one before at the carmel pinnacles.  Must not be too many around.  Nice day, fish tacos...life is good.

Whoo-hoo, someone got some rockfish! WTG.

First rockie I ever ate was a treefish and very tasty it was too.

Nice assortment Aaron!
Looked flat today.

Nice day on the water and cool pics.

Treefish are common the further south you get.  Lots of them out around Catalina, San Clemente and the other channel islands down off So Cal.  Usually not too deep, catch quite a few incidentally when fishing calico bass in the kelp down there.  They especially love squid.  I agree on the taste, usually not big, but very tasty critters.

Cool tree fish.  I got one in the same area last year about this time.
