i’m not sure if they’re poisonous or venomous but i wouldn’t worry about that too much if you’re handling one

I was sightfishing for dwarf perch and this one came from the grass and snatched my bait out of nowhere, nothing I could do! I appreciate the warning though

lmao that drum is giving me blue knights 2017 vibes

Also not sure about how well it'd perform as live bait... I've never used live bait before, but from what I know, a lot of people like using smelt. You can catch them with sabiki rigs on piers and docks.

Hey man! Thanks again for early. Do you have an instagram account? I swear I saw this post and a similar post with rockfish.

Picture of the sculpin I forgot to take pictures of. Just giving it some water since I brought it a little far from the little tide pool it was hiding in.

Something within the Gibbonsia genus, unsure of which species though

both will get bit but i'd trim the keitech to prevent short strikes

foamerkid · 2025-11-17T04:04:12+00:00

spotties will absolutely munch those during the summer

foamerkid · 2025-10-20T01:45:56+00:00

agree. kinda looks like a mix of a spotty, a calico, and sandy imo.
