   Nice trick. What’s a Belinda, some sort of perch?

     Schooling rockfish that looks a lot like a bank perch. They don’t get too big, but they’re good eating. I’ve got a bunch of fish stick size filets for you guys this weekend.

       Nice report Joe. Belindas are actually speckled rockfish…I haven’t seen them in great quantity outside the banks off El Segundo/LAX or at Big Reef off Rocky Point.

       I fished the Spit Friday with Capt. John Petrov and got a 6-1/2 pound red on the diamond jig. I heard my friend Jeanne got a few halibut on Friday at my old home…I fished with her for many years, great lady angler!

         Hey Jimmy! Funny, I was just reviewing an old post and you had a comment there about the belindas. Jake said, “They look like a bank perch.” and I realized from your comment that they’re one and the same fish. Yeah, Jeanne killed it. I just posted my trip report yesterday. Fished with her on Friday down at Dana Wharf and she got 3!!!

         Nice work on the red! I just bought an orange butterfly jig to try myself. You inspired me from when we fished the Spit a couple weeks ago.
