I came back on Nov. 9, 2008. Visibility was the usual Spring Bay 15 feet. For some reason, I didn't see any of the adult rockfish at the base of the wall area around the left-hand point. Usually this area is swarming with them. I did see a few younger ones farther out , hiding under boulders on a rubble slope. In this same area, there was a juvenile wolf eel and a buffalo sculpin. I swam back in the shallows, where there was a bit more colour. I saw a sailfin sculpin under a small overhang only 15 feet deep.
