Thread: Orangemouth corvina; salton sea

  1. #1

    Default Orangemouth corvina; salton sea

    Has anyone else noticed that on dfg site, they still have corvina listed under their bag limit regulation for salton sea. I thought that fish died out long before the 90s. From what I've noticed since my last fishing trip there, there was only one type of species living in that condition. The Tilapia. I haven't caught anything else there besides that fish, or is it a seasonal thing out there? I went between the months of Feb-March. Summer time is killer out there so I didn't bother. No Croakers, no Sargo, and especially no Corvina.

    There's no other place to catch these beautiful fish, correct? I mean their basically surf type fish but I don't often hear reports of one being caught.

    Yeah, perhaps the DFG is a wee bit under staffed when it comes to having actual research data and some inconsistencies may or may not exist on their website.



    Oh, and the Over/Under for a DockRat appearance on this post has been set to 3.5 posts, +250 for the under. Call your bookies now.

    Covina are being caught up and down the coast by fly fishermen quite regularly. They are still very shy and difficult to hook up but they are being caught and released right here in SoCal.

    Woah hold on there, I know there under staffed, I'm not hear to start an argument. It was just my observation. It's been 20 years since the last sighting of those species.

    You make it seem like I'm not allowed to present a source to what I've wrote.

    Now this is information is new to me. I've seen reports of corbina being caught just hardly any corvina. Thanks for sharing that Viejo.

    No no, not at all. Quite the opposite, in fact, I applaud anglers who question the validity of sources instead of automatically assuming it's a fact because the website it came from ends in .gov.

    Oh, yeah it was something I noticed while researching on the species. BTW, I've been trying to find more infos on the fish but there' isn't enough data out there. I've been trying to knock them off my bucket list for awhile now. Any help would be grateful, such as the right season or just start me off on the right direction would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I wasn't too sure where to place the thread. Mod's thanks for moving it.

    Two totally different fish. CorBina is caught regularly (harder for some) in our surf. CorVina is caught in SD county. That will be your best chance locally at getting one.
