And for Dec. 21 #ArtAdventCalendar, another sea perch, the red-tailed surfperch or as i like to call them, the Vancouver Island Bonefish :)

This is the beach where i first caught surfperch on the fly, in 2004. it's on the north end of the island. I had my gear with me on this hike (2020), but alas the wind was roaring & i couldn't find any fish

But that's the other thing about surfperch: just *being* where they *might* be, is enough
An expanse of sandy beach on a cloudy day, with distant breaking surf & densely forested headlands. A dark line just below the forested landforms is the mouth of a dark, peat-stained river emptying into the sea at this spot.

Surfperch are the bonefish of the northwest coast. And almost no one targets them here #FlyFishing

Didn't find any yesterday, but i will...

this was a good warmup for beach fishing for salmon on the east side, which'll be coming right up

Went fishin on Saturday with @zalehusky.bsky.social, caught a couple grouper (pictured) and a couple rockfish! Much stronger fighters than I'm used to with surfperch and corbina. Cooked up the grouper today into fish piccata, and damn it was so good 😋

What a colorful world ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Diving into a world of vibrant hues and underwater wonders at the Aquarium! 🌈🐠✨
A vibrant pelagic red crab is perched on a rocky outcrop, with its large claws and legs spread out to balance the crab on the uneven surface. In the blurred background, a row of pink strawberry anemone is spread like pink polka dots on the rocky surface behind the crab. A profile view close-up of a rainbow surfperch, showcasing its intricate scales in shades of orange, light blue, and gray against a pitch black background. Perched up in a profile view, the close up of a Yellowheaded moray eel shows the fish with its mouth slightly ajar, highlighting its distinctive yellow head adorned with dark, almost purple spots, against its light-hued skin. A green sea turtle glides through the open sea exhibit, with front flippers elegantly outstretched, revealing its captivating underside against the vibrant blue backdrop.

Ált'ka7tsem/Howe Sound's unique glass sponge reefs are home to amazing wildlife. And they're just minutes away from downtown Vancouver!

Here is some of the marine life found near the Collingwood Channel marine refuge.
