Dont disagree! The problem is that they dont have much meat on them and with the 1 fish limit (first one caught ) you have to go after the big boys (5-8lbs) for anything resembling a meal and in the inside waters that usually means going deep and that also means big weights needing bigger gear to handle the weights. Dont target rockfish anymore(mission accomplished WDFW) but when we fished the banks in the straits for the big boys we started in 180ft of water needing 12oz and up to get down in the currents you'll encounter out there.
