Felipe and I have been out to the deep reefs the last couple of weekends and have been killing the halibut and also large black sea bass among other species. This new forum hasn't been allowing us to post fotos but I will try again after this weekends fishing

We had a good day on 11/9... 8 Butts, 10 Goldspots and two Blackies- one 60lb, and one 130lb. Something else I noticed- there were ZERO whitefish out there.

The day was especially good for me since I finally killed the gremlin that was infecting my Starboard engine - it turned out to be a low oil pressure alarm that must have been a clogged oil filter- spinning on a new oil filter cleared it right up.

Dan, Audi and I got so close on a couple drifts that we probably looked more like bumper boats out there...

Do whitefish in the ocean have another name? the only whitefish I'm familiar with are in Montana trout streams.

They are members of the tilefish family - locals also call them rabbitfish:

Off the port-rear corner of my boat - The "Captain's corner"

We were drifting some where south of Rocky Point, in water that was more than 60, but less than 600 feet deep... :p

Whitefish aka "rabbitfish"... I haven't seen them of late, either. Perhaps when the water gets colder? They can be really thick at times, but are very good eating.

We caught many rabbit fish, along with 26 halibut, 3 black sea bass, 2 pintos and lots of gold spots on Saturday aboard the Josefina and the previous weeks were pretty much the same. My problem is that I can't post pics on this new format. We cut the rabbit fish up for bait
