I didn't see the GSB's last night, but a bunch of other juveniles i've never seen before. Some were sheephead wrasse, the others looked maybe like kelpfish.

I took some video, and I'll try to post tomorrow. The top 3' of the surface was 80 degrees HOT!

Thanks for the photo Phil....They are very small and hiding in the vegetation line. Every time I would see one I would get closer and see 10 more smaller ones.

That's pretty cool. I've never seen the juveniles that deep. They usually hide in the sand ripples near shore in six feet.

There are a ton of juvie Sheephead right now. They hang in the deeper vegetation. I wonder if maybe you saw these guys.

I think your right, they must have been juvenile Sheep head..just as Underwater said! They are very skidish fish.

So the sheephead are there, but I don't recognize the ones with the yellow tails. Also, at the end, isn't that a kelpfish?

Sheephead followed bu juvenile blacksmiths, then a sarcastic fringehead and finally Painted Greenling.
