Over the past few weeks I have come across a few fun species at Sund Rock--fun in that they are species I rarely encounter--or rarely see there.
Bay Gobies--several seen on a couple of different dives--first time in well over a year I have encountered one--and never have seen more than 1 at a time.
Starry Flounder--not rare, but I have never spotted one at Sund Rock before.
Long nose skate--always a fun find.
roughback and slim sculpins side by side
and a Longspine combfish (one of my favorites)

Re: Fun fish at Sund Rock
Wow, some good finds on all of those!! Are these about from the same spots at Sund Rock? And what kind of depths do you usually find these at?

Re: Fun fish at Sund Rock
These came from dives that went off from the middle or north wall, most of these observations were below 90'.
Splash time was usually later in the afternoons, 3-4 pm
