super tiny fish for you viewing enjoyment
« on: March 01, 2018, 08:19:12 AM »
Tom, look at all these species you can sandbag for your lifelist!  ;D

Ocean Beach tidepools yesterday afternoon at low tide.  My goal was zebra perch.  Locally sourced mussels used as bait.

Woolly Sculpin


Largemouth Blenny


He's so fabulous!


Rockpool Blenny


Spotted Kelpfish


Not pictured: Opaleye, because I'm tired of them.

I made a valiant effort to catch some 5-6 inch long zebra perch, but opaleyes always rushed the bait before the perch could work up the courage to take a nibble.

Before I headed home I fished the pier for about 15 minutes and caught a new lifer!

Walleye Surfperch (species #496)


Nice way to end the day!

And I thought Verne Disney was the only guy that it ever took so long to get the elusive WSP checked off of their list 😃😬

Haha hey now, I haven't been here that long.  Queenfish is another easy one I still haven't caught.

Super cool fish Ben!  That is some pretty cool stuff. 
I'm not sure about micro fishing after seeing the picture of the three of you huddled around a puddle-pool.  One day I'll try it as my buddy has a real micro rod to lend to me.   8)
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
