Grunt Sculpins

Post by YellowEye »

Hi
Has anybody seen any grunt sculpins around lately? If so, where?

They seem a little sparse these days!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Which part? I haven't seen any there lately, but I usually just hang around the golf ball boat area.

Thank you. I'll have to dive both those places soon. It's been way too long at sunrise in particular.

Laura brings up a great point. I almost always find grunts in two places at redondo. The first is at the engine block just NW of bob's reef. The second is at the large pipe directly in front of the MAST.

Those 3 were illegally parked and the curved part of the hedge and have since been towed. :(
