Hey there DH_tubinjoe,
Thanks for the addition. We're always gonna forget a few. I'll add Yellowtail, California. I excluded fish that I didn't really think are 'sportfish' but I'll reconsider that too.
Thanks,
JapanRon

Hi there gvanzant,
Thanks for the input. I put in the petrale sole, diamond turbot, and sanddabs. My real intention was to include just sportfish but sanddabs are caught on sporties aren't they!!
Did you read of my big cabezon (to me) in an earlier post?
brag brag brag!!!!

JapanRon: The reason I mentioned the rock sole is that we get lots of them dragging for halibut in deeper water(100 foot). They are super eating, better than halibut. Also, I spent my younger years dragging ghost shrimp stuck on no.#12 eagle claws for the turbot. The Alamitos Bay turbot are much better tablefare than the Huntington Harbor fish, The Huntington Harbor fish tasted like iodine. They still do. Great job on the Cabezon, you know the one being depleted. Ha! The Long Beach breakwater is so full of them they are a nuisance. So much for the depletion of the species. I don't mean to sound bitter, but I am. I really miss my sculpin.By the way, to me all fish caught are sportfish.

Hey there DH_tubinjoe,
Thanks for the Rubberlip and Buttermouth Perch additions. I'm still trying to keep it to sportfish rather than just food or 'they exist' fish. Heck if I wanted I could include spearfish, needlefish, Red Fin Perch, Top Smelt, Puffer, rays, and on and on.

Hey there TubeN2,
Yep! They were in my original list from the get go and broken down to ssp's to boot! If I added fish to be caught in Baja that are considered to be sportfish ... not baitfish, trash fish, etc. I'd have a list 100 species long. We have a Mexico board I believe for that list! ha ha
Whoa, I just remembered I might should include Sailfish, Pacific as they are sometimes/rarely caught at Catalina Island, in fact, as recently as a month ago i believe according to a PBer's report.
