Fished for a few hours Saturday off Del Mar until the cold wind drove me off the water. Something about a 40 degree breeze blowing in one ear and out the other gives me a headache that won't quit.
The best I can tell this one is a Squarespot Rockfish. If you think differently let me know. It looks very much like the Bank Rockfish with dark blotches on the back.
