Exotic catches that always surprise!
Great to eat and easy to catch, rockfish are often a welcome alternative to the heavier tackle and deeper waters associated with halibut fishing.
It’s not uncommon for everyone onboard to be hooked up at once when targeting rockfish — making them an ideal target for young fishermen or those who are new to fishing.
Black bass are the most commonly caught rockfish, with yelloweye, tiger rockfish, quillbacks, and dusky rockfish being frequently caught as well.
Lingcod also frequent the areas where rockfish live, and it’s not uncommon to catch a lingcod while targeting rockfish!
Many of our clients from Florida and the Gulf states have compared rockfish to grouper as table fare.
