Bocaccio
San Diego offers a diverse range of habitats to target Bocaccio, from deep water reefs to kelp forests. These rockfish are often found in deeper waters, making boat fishing the most effective method. The best time to target Bocaccio in San Diego is generally during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they tend to be more active and closer to shore. Look for areas with rocky bottoms and structure, as Bocaccio are ambush predators. Fishing near the Coronado Islands can also be productive, but be sure to have the necessary permits and licenses. A practical tip for San Diego anglers: try using a multi-hook setup with a variety of baits, such as squid or cut fish, to increase your chances of attracting these bottom-dwelling fish. Remember to check depth finders for promising structure before dropping your line. Bocaccio in San Diego can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
