Q. What is the bag limit for California scorpionfish (sculpin)?

You would know this if you took your pole and went deep-sea fishing more often GD.
Remember to use red string for the fish to think its blood...You would know this if you took your pole and went deep-sea fishing more often GD.
I used to work the sportboats in San Diego, and one of the reasons I stopped is because we would catch like 500 EVERY TRIP, up to about 5 pounds. Then, I got to fillet 500 sculpins on the way home. Used to be $5.00 for a limit of 10 per person. I got poked I think three
times total, and that was enough for me. Got real good at giving haircuts to em though. Anyway, those were the days.
so can u take em from shore?
What do they bite? I hve only caught a few and they were@ Piers
Yes you can take them from shore... Ive caught them on squid, cut chovies, and swimbaits from piers and jetties.
minimum size is 10"
Think they would hit a Chovy look alike? or are they scavangers? what kinda swimabait did u use?
They will definately hit lures... they hang around structure so if your trying to get them from the surf it might be a little difficult...unless theres structure near by, you might have a chance. You can find them hiding inside Jetties...cast parallel to the rocks and slow retrieve. Ive lost losts of swimbaits doing that so be careful... also try around Pier pilings...
Good luck
