South LJ 9/14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Wokiee - its not easy. Start with a few years of kayak fishing under your
belt, then build your Kelp Cred* by hosting some seminars, set a fishing
record, win a contest, get to know everyone in the kayak fishing
community, contribute design ideas, be seen as a glowing ambassador for
this growing sport ...

and maybe, just maybe, you will be invited by a local shop or a Team
Manager at Hobie to enjoy a coveted spot on this Hobie Team page:

It's actually not as easy as it sounds (nor quite as glamorous).

* Kelp cred: like Street Cred, only ...... "kelpier"

whats the best way to differentiate a vermilion rock fish from rock fish that cant be retained.

Im looking at pictures on line and they all look the same to me. I want to give bottom fishing a shot this weekend but I dont want to catch an illegal fish. thanks

DENNY,

You can get a photocard or book from www.RockfishID.com
Here is the DFGs Groundfish Central for ID
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/groundfishcentral/gi.asp

Specifically you can print these two pages for free:
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/pdfs/shelfrockfish.pdf

Here is the Canary vs the Vermillion.

Around here you mostly have to keep an eye out for the Bocaccio.
