Hit the Flats at sun up this morning and fished until about 2PM. Got roughly 20 fish or so, 1 keeper. Most were around 14-16". This is the first fall that I've fished the flats so I don't know how it normally goes so I'm out doing a little research. Let the record show that at this time I couldn't find bigger fish. I'm assuming I'll have better luck as the temp cools, but maybe the larger fish are only on the flats in the spring...dunno. This is true of the other areas I've fished for fall rockfish. I'll keep trying to see what I find.
I found schools of fish where I'd get a flurry and then action would drop off...and then another flurry. It took work to find them. Trolling small rapalas and the mini umbrella rig worked for me.
