I just had to start in with the lobster hunting this year. Previous years I
just fed them in the tidepools at low tide
... So I finally got the kayak,
nets and bait together for an evening last week when the sea was dead
flat with bright moon.
Managed a dozen short lobster and a spooky eel in my nets before finally
getting my FIRST legal lobster.
Barely legal. Wow is lobster delicious!
-----------------------------
On Saturday morning I paddled out looking for rockfish and lobster bait
(mackerel) and ended up fishing live 12" macs on the bottom for a bright
colored
barely legal lingcod and broke off another hefty one.
The rockfish were shy of the plastics out there, so I went inside and
spent a half-hour slaying baby goats (just kids), one barely legal, after
the inspiration by Yani. I see others had the same idea.
Just an fyi for everyone, the minimum length for sheephead is now 12".
