Saltwater bluegill? Name that Fish!
November 10, 2007
Okay, it’s time for another round of Name that Fish, the contest in which you can win, uh, well, nothing.
But it’s still fun to play anyway, right?? Anybody? Hello? Is thing thing on?? Test. Test. Test. Can you hear me?
So, anyway, this little fella likes warm near-shore waters of the Pacific and Sea of Cortez. He hangs out near rocks and kelp and dines on crabs, shrimp, mussels and small fish…and 2-ounce spoons!
Hint: he’s not a….
Barred surf perch, cabrilla, calico bass, Pacific barracuda, copper rockfish, Mexican Goatfish or Atlantic salmon.
Any guesses??
Is it some kind of “Grunt”?
You’re on the right track….
Is it a Sea Donkey?
Honestly, I have no idea.
Just thought I’d throw that out there.
A sea donkey?? Com’on, Sabalow, you been hitting the bong lately? :) And, no, it’s not a Sea Monkey, either!
We used to call ugly girls at my high school “Sea Donkeys.”
I always thought that was classic.
JD, when you coming to Redding?
You see they might close the river?

LOL…Sea Donkies!! It’s not out of the question that I may have to borrow that one in the future….
Is it a Tiger Rockfish?
