big bugs
 

buddy and I hit up the bridge in SD bay. didn't have fish to use as bait so we got chicken liver and panty hose. filled up the foot part and tied it off and stuffed it in the cage. took three pulls and we had our limits. all in the 3-5lb range. only 2 or 3 shorts for me and a couple empty nets but the ones that did have bugs were legit.

no pics. He showed me how to tail them and when it was all said and done I had forgotten to take a pic. but we all know what they look like. :D

I'm dating a super model

:you_rock:
:luxhello:

I'm dating 2 supermodels!

Nice!

Thank you.

but we all know what those look like...lol

congrats on that....:confused: I am at work....:rolleyes:

just show us a pic of them on the plate before you eat them.

Nice job. You guys make the hooping look AND sound easy.

Next year I'm going to give it a shake. Lobsters and super-models, I'm all over that.

Ummmmm. He was talking to me

Im not sure using pantyhose is even legal...low pro your goin to jail...!

lol, i dont think there's a law against. that.

ill take pics of todays cookfest.

had a few last night.

Hoop Netting for Lobsters with Pantyhose

Q: While hoop netting lobsters in the past, I have used a piece of old pantyhose to keep the bait together. It’s worked well, but recently I was told it’s illegal to do because a lobster may get entangled on the hose. This has never happened in the times that I have hoop netted. I’m trying to be legal at all times. Am I breaking the law by using this method? (Doug F.)

A: Hoop nets are legal to use to take lobster, but traps are not. If hoop nets are modified in any manner that causes the lobster to become entangled or trapped, then the device ceases to be a hoop net and becomes a trap. The fabric used to make pantyhose is known to be an effective trap for lobsters and is not recommended for use on any part of a hoop net when it’s used to take lobster.

Hoop nets may contain a bait container, but may in no way act to entangle or impede the movement of lobster while it tries to leave the net. If it does, then the device would be illegal, no matter what material is used to construct the bait container.


This is from that carrie wilson lady from the DFG....just say'n! Make sure when dfg shows up...put'em on.....quickly...!

ah yi yi, so many laws... ill switch to old dew rags.

panty hose is not used to trap a lobster. panty hose = elastic bait cage. if using a panty-hose to hold your bait is illegal... then so is using a bait cage. or zip tying your bait down.

anyways. nice going! i did 3 pulls on a set of 6 nets. total of 1 bug (barely legal). i dont know what i'm doing wrong, but you must be doing it right.

me too check me out at brassers!

no he wasnt 2 are better then 1!

My live feed is on a site that rhymes with vangvus

damnbugs.com?

Ghay for pay huh?

Went out to the secret spot last night. Got 7 lobsters in one hoop all in the 5-6 pound range. Actually I made one of the twin sister supermodels that was with me pull the nets. I wanted to save my energy for a later "feast";):D




One supermodel.......that's so 80s.

bawahhhhh

Chris man you get around. Way to go on finding a quality bug spot. Enjoy the eats. Jim

Perhaps you are unaware, an individual can only have 5 nets to themselves.

Probably their super models, are in their 80s, now. :)

Hmmm... would never have taken you guys for cross-dressers :eek::D:)

ROTFLMAO...

Seriously, have you tried coagulated blood? I've had great success with it wrapped in cheese cloth and squeezed inside of the Promar metal bait cages...

Always wanted to try pig brains... will post on success or failure the next time I try...

i heard seal meat works well.

perhaps you don't realize that i was on a boat with a second person. that person. and yes, they have a lobster card as well.

anyways. nice going! i did 3 pulls on a set of 6 nets. total of 1 bug (barely legal). i dont know what i'm doing wrong, but you must be doing it right.

No, I did not realize that, since it wasn't mentioned in your post.
Most of the posts here are people going solo on kayaks, I presumed as much in your report, since you didn't mention being on a boat with another person, and you used the 1st person singular in your post.
Still, if you, as an individual are pulling 6 nets up at a time you are still violating the law, not that I care about that. DFG with their night-vision binoculars can see much, and most of them care a hell of a lot. One ticket will prove that.
My original post wasn't directed solely at you, but any others that may be ignorant of what the law allows. No need for anyone to get a ticket because someone's post was a little vague and misleading in it's content.
Better luck to you next trip.

Isn't that what the MLPA is all about.

??? I'm not sure I understand your comment. The MLPA is all about-what?

Exactly!

There's so much drama in the LBC it's kinda hard being snoop D-O-DOUBLE G!

what was that again? :o
