Excellent! A good fight at any size and even better eating.
I'll be down next week for 11 days, hopefully I'll find some time to cast a line for some Corvina too...amirravon - 11-14-2009 at 06:16 PM

Woody, Give me a corBina any day! Is that a biosphere band and where do you get them. Asuncion & Sand crabs?
amirravon, Stopped at 3 but the bite seemed like I could have taken more. I want to zoom over to Deadmans again tomorrow. I just have to get there
before the nets are set again.

yes! and we also get them further upstream (i can't say the name of the area! it's a SECRET.....) using pismo clams. we never have had much luck with lures, although i know others who have.
i like the B in the name as the locals pronounce it that way. they call white sea bass "curVina."David K - 11-14-2009 at 06:55 PM
Good CorVina photo Russ... Woody has a nice collection of CorBinas, too!
That is a tough fish species to describe with nams so simular... and in Mexico with the V and B sounding almost the same!
CorBina (with a B) has a mouth on the B-Bottom and is an excellent eating fish we catch off San Diego and off San Felipe, too! Use bait, they are
B-Bottom feeders.
CorVinas are also a San Felipe area species and were imported to the Salton Sea where they were the prize catch there... back in the 60's. Mouth in
front.boe4fun - 11-14-2009 at 08:34 PM
Hi Guys, I found out that Corbina has the barbel beneath the lower jaw, two different fish entirely. Even Shari was confused at first!!!

hell....I'm usually confused!!!!Cypress - 11-15-2009 at 06:08 AM
Corvina look like the spotted seatrout caught in the inshore areas of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, minus the spots. One of the best tasting fish
there is.BajaWarrior - 11-15-2009 at 08:25 AM
Not the biggest Corvina, but it was fun to reel in on light tackle.David K - 11-15-2009 at 10:16 PM

I never really thought about it, but I had no idea CorVina were in the SOC. I thought they were only on the Pacific side.David K - 11-16-2009 at 09:35 AM
We caught many corvina casting a lure off the beach at Bahia Santa Maria... they were imported to the Salton Sea from San Felipe back when the Salton
Sea was nice... 40-50 yers ago.David K - 11-16-2009 at 09:44 AM
Fish Identification Photos: Orangemouth Corvina, Cynoscion xanthulus: The Orangemouth Corvina has an overall tan appearance with a silvery belly and a
yellow tail. It is characterized by an elongated body, large oblique orange-colored mouth with a projecting lower jaw that reaches the eyes, and two
canine teeth on the roof of the mouth.
The Orangemouth Corvina has pointed caudal fins. The Orangemouth Corvina has not been studied extensively and thus little is known about its life
history. However it is known that it is a schooling, open-water fish that moves in shore to feed. It is believed to spawn in the spring and summer
near river inlets. It is a vicious predator of small fish. The Orangemouth Corvina is generally found in the first 75 feet of the water column and is
reported to reach just under 4 feet in length and 50 pounds in weight. It is viewed as excellent table fare and sought by both commercial and
recreational anglers.
In Mexican waters the Orangemouth Corvina is found north of Acapulco along the coast of the mainland and throughout the Sea of Cortez. Note: The
Orangemouth Corvina was successfully introduced into the Salton Sea in the early 1950’s where it has thrived.
The Orangemouth Corvina is one of the largest of the croakers or drums from the Sciaenidae family.
The Orangemouth Corvina might be confused with other croakers, including the Gulf Weakfish, Cynoscion othonopterum, the Shortfin Weakfish, the
Totoaba, Totoaba macdonaldi, the White Seabass, Atractoscion nobilis, the Yellowmouth Weakfish, Cynoscion squamipinnis, and the Yellowtail Weakfish,
Cynoscion stolzmanni, but while these have a similar overall appearance, none has a mouth that is orange.
