Hi, I'm new to this forum, and new to California saltwater angling. Nice to meet you all.
I'm still exploring all the fishing opportunities around here, and learning to identify species of course. Pierfishing.com is definitely a great resource!
I caught this fish today at Pacifica Pier, and was told by a fellow angler that it was a kingfish. But I thought it looked more like a queenfish, based on what I've read on the website. But the website also said that queenfish are uncommon that far north, so I'm a bit unsure what exactly it is.
Anyhow it was caught on a high-low rig, size 8 hook baited with shrimp, on the north facing side of the pier. Hope someone here is willing to share a bit of wisdom and help me grow my knowledge! Thanks in advance!
