nice going out there. Glad that you knew about the 50fa rule and the rule about not fishing shoreward of the 50fa curve once you possess a rockfish.

I have caught 1000's of sand bass and have kept about 5 in my life. We just mainly hunted pelagics on the boat and didn't want to use part of our limit on a sand bass. With kayak fishing however, I would be willing to keep them for a fresh caught dinner.

tasted really great when lightly floured and fried with butter
tasted amazing when cut into slices and used in tom yum style hot pot
not the greatest IMO for deep fried fish tacos. Its hard to beat cod and sculpin for that.

21" is the nice grade, it's superior taco meat.


Bisquick and beer batter fry at 325F, and always brine, dry and flour prior to batter.


I prefer cabbage, you may prefer iceberg. A little chipotle sauce, corn torts, pico and lime wedges.


They're almost as good as spotties.
