Nov/2, HMB Crab early report

Correction: a single sardine may be visible in the pot at the bottom of the picture.

I was curious if GPT 4o can identify fish, and it nailed the jacksmelt ID. It’s going to mess up tricky identification like different species of rockfish, and you should always check the ID using an authoritative source, but it’s pretty cool how far general models have come.

The round one in the grass look to be a blue so becareful with those during the in-shore closure.

Forecasted conditions yesterday kept me on the shore snaring.

Congrats to those who found success out there.

What is GPT 4o? How it work? If it can identify fish correctly, then next time i can go for rockfish without fear. Because I am really confused some rockfish identify, only know some rockfish like blue rockfish because their color is blue, easy to identify, some fish are difficult to identify , so i no much interest on rockfish.

And to be frankly, I knew what ever the sardines, mech. Anchovies, jack all no limit or limit is large cannot be met,  like herring 1 Home Dep bucket, i didnt spend more focus on sardines and mech  these have fewer scales fish, i saw people always keep them as many as they can, so i let them to be one group for me, mech is sardine and sardine is meck for me, and one other shame reason for me call these kind fish as sardine, that is sardine is easy words for me, the mech spelling so long, its hard for me to spell out correctly. But anyway, i know i am safe to identify these two species as one, like yesterday when i on the way back to harbor, one police boat stop me and check what fish what crab i have, I without worry because i knew i followed the rule. But yes, to identify each fish clearly and spell their name out correctly is always a good behavior, I accept your suggestion

And when I fishing sardine or meck yesterday, i got one small blue rockfish and one small salmon. I released salmon and keep the blue rock, maybe you can find that one in picture.

Gotta be careful. When catching rockfish you can only keep them when you're using 2 hooks per line. If you already have a rockfish on your boat you cannot use more than 2 hooks so no more sabiki.

GPT 4o won’t reliably identify rockfish. If you are looking for a general term to describe sardines, jacksmelt and mackerel, you can say “bait fish”.

Finally got 4 dunge,  i am done today. Below is where i sink my net, its wrong spot?

Either spot problem, either bait problem. Any gentleman can point where i am wrong?

Thanks!

What app is that with the beautiful bottom map?

That is Navionics, the Garmin map app. They have some free features, but to get that level of detail requires the subscription. I paid for it when it was $25/year, but it's like $60 now...

Thanks! That’s kinda expensive.. worth it?
