Rare sighting for PT
Rare sighting for PT
I was fortunate enough to get this video before the viz closed up. We don't see these often in the sound.

Re: Rare sighting for PT
Very cool, beautiful fish, great to see it in motion like that. I've only seen them at Neah Bay.

Re: Rare sighting for PT
Way to go old timer. I have seen them just north a ways in Haro Strait, but never that far south/

Re: Rare sighting for PT
Very cool! I think the only one I've ever seen was at Redondo a few years ago.

Re: Rare sighting for PT
I've only seen one at Salt Creek park, and then, only a really tiny one.
Re: Rare sighting for PT
Used to see them regularly at Edmonds UW park, and from time to time at Cove 2

Re: Rare sighting for PT
I used to see them around Bremerton, while wading at low tide, and we'd frequently get them in nets from eelgrass beds. I rarely see them when I 'm diving and suspect they tend to hang out shallower than we generally do when we're on scuba.
Re: Rare sighting for PT
What an elegant, beautiful fish! I have never seen one.

Thanks.
The only box you have to think outside of is the one you build around yourself.
Re: Rare sighting for PT
I tend to agree Greg, Seems like I usually see them in the 20 to 30 foot range. They don't seem to be great swimmers and they are designed to blend in with the kelp.Here is a baby and some other stillsGreg Jensen wrote:I used to see them around Bremerton, while wading at low tide, and we'd frequently get them in nets from eelgrass beds.

Re: Rare sighting for PT
We used to get them quite a bit in net collections off the railroad beach, or off the marine center pier, but quite often they were much smaller. I've seen them that size a few times diving under the PTMSC pier as well. Really neat fish!! Just have to go to places with more grass!
Re: Rare sighting for PT
Which railroad beach? Clear over by the mill?
