From what I have been told, the rockfish population is one of the few that is really in decline in La Jolla and elsewhere in California. My guess is that this is due in part to the fact that they are sometimes really easy to catch and as a result the party boats load up on them to please their guests. I think I will pass on rockfish.
Lings are another story. They are one of the tastiest fish in the sea but I have not yet figured out how to catch one. Maybe that will be my target this time out.
