Barred Sand Bass live off southern California and Baja, favoring sandy bottoms near reefs and kelp beds. With dark vertical bars, they school during summer spawning runs. Feeding on anchovies, squid, and crustaceans, they are targeted by anglers for sport and food, often striking jigs and live bait aggressively.
