Come on over! May should be good if the damn seiners don't come in close and the pongeros lighten up with their nets along the shore. I have plenty of
fishing gear. Here's one of my favorite spots.

Could be a song: You say corvina and I say corbina...tomato/tomatoe etc.
It does indeed look like a salmon on fin enhancers.....born too close to a nuclear plant?
Bet it is a good fighter. What color is the flesh? How does it eat, er, eh, I mean how does it taste to you?

Frank is right Orange mouth CorVina. Taste is really good. Maybe just below a Pargo on my tasters. But then yellowtail is my favorite so go from
there. here's one I caught on 6# awhile ago.

cousin to the east coast sea trout and, more northerly, the weakfish.

Yep, These were put in the Salton Sea and are reported to be doing very well there.

"V" pronounced like "B" in spanish. Hence we think they are saying "corBina".
No?

Although both look very similar and are both in the Croaker Family, they are different fish:
CorBinas live on the Pacific and 'only' get up to ~28"
CorVinas live in the Sea of Cortez (and Salton Sea) and get up to ~48"
Truth generally lies in the coordination of antagonistic opinions

And then you have the cUrvina, aka White Seabass, also a croaker.

Where's to go but up? Jeezo, Russ, you can't be serious. Yellow Tail is like eating a Kapok life vest compared to an edible fish such as Halibut.

I saw white sea bass sold in the markets in peru. They were labeled corvina. I think that name is used throughout latin america. It's confusing to
gringos.
Corvina (orangemouth) aren't really doing very well in Salton Sea due to high salinity levels. In fact nothing is.

Have you ever fished the Salton Sea? I haven't, and am really thinking of going. Just a few years ago (4-6) some people I know went and had an amazing
day catching HUGE croaker. I have read that the salinity levels are getting close to the point where the fish will stop reproducing, and it won't take
long, due also to the elimination of a significant amount of agricultural runoff replenishing the fresh water that evaporates, to get to the point
where fish won't be able to survive at all. The State of California has been studying  a plan to "Save the Sea"
Do you have any experience with it, I would love to hear about it if you do.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything as I'm not a regular. My visit and subsequent articles in San Diego papers didn't sound promising.
