Year-round
No pronounced peak. A rocky-nearshore and jetty resident sculpin; the thick tail meat holds condition consistently all year, so there's no meaningful quality season.
signal · Tides & swell for jetty access (NOAA CO-OPS); water temp as a general cue (assumed)
Plate No. 046 · Finley & Bohlman
Managed, mind the rules
Mind the season, size, and limit; release what you won't keep, gently and in the water.
The read
Bizarre mottled sculpin; thick tail yields sweet, lobster-like meat. Yaquina jetties.
