You’re right, looking at it closer it looks more like some type of rock fish, black rock fish maybe? I’ve caught calicos before and some are lighter than others. In this case this one had its fins and gill plates super flared up. It was Angry haha. Thanks for watching man !
Nice morning session! I've never had any luck with raw shrimp the few times I used it as bait around Oceanside and Carlsbad areas. I need to give it another shot. 👍
@@radrc depends on the area you fish, like a sandy beach is better to use sand fleas or ghost shrimp or other bait of choice. On spots like this with eel grass and reefs, shrimp & squid is great bait for a variety of species. Thanks for watching, good luck next time your out there 👍🏽
Fins aren’t the same and the markings aren’t the same as a calico

@SocalFisherman Thanks for the fishing tip! Chula Vista harbor has a lot of eel grass.
Great video Bro.
Nice catch
My rule of thumb: Surfers = structures = fish.
@@reel_it_in_socal I’ve noticed that a lot as well. It’s more active where the surfers are located ! Thanks for watching !
Crazy lookin calico bro…I think it’s a rock fish..not a calico.
That’s a rockfish not a calico
@@jayare03 yeah man, I noticed that after the fact 😅 Cause before I’ve caught some darkish calico bass but after replaying is when it clicked
@@SocalFishermanthat would of been some nice fish tacos 🌮
@@jayare03 yeah, it definitely would’ve ! That sandbass made a great meal though 💯
