   Common names can make you crazy. Here in the east , a Rockfish is a Striped Bass for a lot of people and the Northern Kingfish goes by about a dozen different names.

     JM, maybe Rockfish for a Striper (what we call them) is because of fishing for them from the jetties? Here, Kingfish is another name for a Croaker (what Juliana caught off the pier last weekend). When you say Kingfish, are you referring to a King Mackerel? Nice to see you again. Tight lines!
