Canary Rockfish
San Diego's offshore waters are a prime location for chasing Canary Rockfish, known for their vibrant colors and delicious flavor. These fish thrive in the deeper waters off the San Diego coastline, particularly around rocky reefs and structures. The best time to target them is generally during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they tend to be more active. A key tip for success is to use a fish finder to locate promising rock piles or reefs in depths of 200 to 400 feet. Using a multi-hook rig with squid or shrimp as bait is a common and effective technique. Shelter Island and Mission Bay offer several sportfishing charters that specialize in targeting rockfish. Be sure to check current regulations regarding depth restrictions and bag limits, as they can change seasonally to protect the fishery.
