Sunday Morning... Cholla Bay.... Dead low tide... Cast Master with Buck Tail....Hit about 15 feet from shore in the sand right before the rocks.

nice Ed and like that fish holding tool Leigh
Dang-nice flatties!
That 26 incher is about the biggest I've ever seen taken from shore in RP..
Nice fish Ed!
Nice fish Ed!
So what exactly are those fish? California halibut or speckled flounder? Or something else? Sorry for being ignorant about fish species, but I'm trying to learn something.

Not exactly sure, but it sure looks a lot like this:
Gulf Sand Dab fish pictures and species identification

Very close, and like Moore, that's the biggest I've seen from shore as well.....Ric?
But what about...
California Halibut fish pictures and species identification
It says the Mexican sand dab only reaches 10 inches.
I'll give up on the speckled flounder as that species doesn't get so far north, but apparently the California halibut has been caught a few miles south of Rocky Point.

I don't think they are sanddabs either- sanddabs usually have dark orange spots on them, and they are small.
There is still some science to be done to determine the if the large halibut we catch offshore are indeed California Halibut, or if they are a similar species indiginous only to the SOC.
However- having caught hundreds of juvenile California halibut in my day, These fish we catch from shore in RP sure do look very similar to young Calibutts..
I would imagine that Ed's fish are juveniles of whatever halibut species it is that we catch out on the deeper reefs.
But one thing is certain- whatever species they are, they are bound to be delicious with a little fresh garlic and lemon butter drawn over them....

Think they might have not necessarily been juveniles but larger of a species that might be spawning? Seems like an odd time for a spawn but water and temps have been off this year.

In relation to JJ's where would the location be?

By Tucson Beach

NEVER give a location!
Especially in Cholla Bay or you will be dealing with me!
garyd said:In relation to JJ's where would the location be?
I think he caught them by the old port out on the old wooden pier!
Mexico Joe said:NEVER give a location!
ha ha ... I didn't give anything away. Cholla is big and so is Tucson beach and everyone knows Pelican Point and Pinto point and......I'll never tell exactly where.
great catch! I'm still trying to catch one of those one day!
It's cheaper to buy them at the fish market and take pics with details like Kenny does, anyway the best place to fish in choya is on the west side on a cliffy area called La LLorona LA LLORONA - A HISPANIC LEGEND only a few locals know about the nice fishing and scallop site.
