Delicious...but like eating Trout...it takes a little work and technique to get to the meat without lots of bones...
I always seem to get into them when I drift off the rockfish hard bottom spots...sooo...look for rockfish marks then drift off em...LOL
They don’t seem depth specific...if there’s lots of em and they’re suspended off the bottom I usually see them on the meter as sort of a blue haze or condensed speckles on the ‘softer/mud’ colored bottom...(not red)
They’ve been a pretty pesky bycatch lately...good news is that they swim right back down with no biotramma
��Be sure to bring a descending device to return any rockfish you might catch��
