Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus
Size: to 18"
Habitat: Generally inshore in harbors and inlets, in 30-40 foot depths, but moves out to deep waters in winter.
Notes:
Sculpins have sharp spines around the head area - best to leave them alone. Sculpins are capable of loud vocalizations. Grubby is similar but smaller with a more rounded tail.

As a charter boat operator, it is my job to ensure that my fares adhere to the current fishing regulations. While the current regulations are posted on my website for passengers to see, many people show up not knowing beforehand what the regulations are, and in some cases, that regulations even exist. This is likely because the fisheries management process can be difficult to understand, resulting in very few people getting involved. Hopefully, this article can help de-mystify the process.
