I catch them all the time while squidding. Everywhere, just bounce the bottom. Careful, they'll poke ya good with their fins.

Edmonds pier, but just choose a pier, they're there.

Another good way to catch them, is to try to catch anything else, haha.

I catch them usually when squidding or fishing for flounder.

There are soooo many sculpin at the Mukilteo ferry dock. Way more than at Edmonds. I use a powerbait plastic shrimp on the bottom. The sculpin there are like 8" in length and really fat.
Thank you! Come again! Image

Is there a size limit on Sculpin. I know when I fish them off Cali they have to be 12' before we can keep them. Also how many are you allowed. I love them things.

holly crap a 12ft bull head, that is what we are talking about right, sculpin aka bull heads because brownsville marina has plenty off them and using anything that smell literally will constantly hook one
