I'm definitely not the guru on the subject. The reason I said that is I was fishing off the rocks in La Jolla near Bird Rock area a couple years ago, and trying to catch bass or other fish, and we hooked what we thought was a fish but ended up being a lobster. It wasn't lobster season for another few days though, so we of course threw him back. Happened twice in about a half hour. A DFG warden had climbed down to where we were and was watching us and taking pictures and came over and asked us what we were trying to catch. We told him bass or whatever fish we could catch, and he told us that if we caught a lobster in season that way that it was legal as long as we weren't targeting them. We didn't catch crap for fish either that day. Haven't caught another lobster that way to the day, but that was my understanding of the law...Sorry if incorrect. Definitely want to be on the right side of the law where that is concerned. :?
