late post long beach lobsters

[vincentek9]

fished for halis in the morning. landed 2 legals near belmont pier.
fished for bugs when it got dark. 16 legals and 20+ shorts in 4 hours. the biggest 2 females were released to repopulate.

on a side note. got back on land and started to rip the tails off. the coast guard yanked their boat out of the water, came up to us, and asked what we were doing. we told them that we're only keeping the tails. we also asked if we could throw the heads in the ocean so fish can eat it and it isn't wasted... coast guards said "shit! i'll take them home and make some soup!" nice to now that the heads are going to be used. they have alot of meat in them.

1st pic is one of our med bugs next to a big 7-8lb female.
2nd pic is our total score of legals (we tossed back 2 after we took the pic)

Are you trolling for a reaction here or are you serious....

You cant tail your lobsters at the ramp...thats just a little bit illegal....obvious the coast guard guys didnt know.

Don't worry about Tony. He's just jealous...

[vincentek9]

I'm sorry Tony, I guess the parking lot of the launch ramp doesn't count as the shore huh. Damn, I need to read my regulations. Good thing you know the rules!

Next time, you should probably try and Google something to make sure you're right before you post a reply. Or else you might get some boater upset. Then he'll see you at the sewer and test how well you can keep your PA upright when he throws some wakes.

For info this is directly from the CA department of fish and game page 50 of their online booklet found here:

I've highlighted the section that applies for anyone to interpret in their own way




Congrats on the haul. If you ever have an open spot on your boat, I'll gladly pitch in for fuel and parking at the launch

Man that's a broad description. It should really be more specific.

Even if this is not true (which it looks like it is) it's still funny 😁

That little hooping booklet that says its legal to tail lobsters on shore or launch ramp is wrong. If you want to continue to do so, go right ahead. When you get caught you can try to explain to the dfg officer that its legal and you read the "rules" in this book. Trust me you will get a ticket.

Oooh did i upset you are you threatening me?

Why would you openly threaten someone that is trying to keep help you out? I won't bother checking Google but I'm sure that your comments could be considered assault. The next time someone gives you advise or says you're doing something wrong question that persons knowledge before you go and threaten them..................that sh*t is not cool.

P.S.
I fish with Tony 99% of the time so if that boater decides to cause a wake that flips us I can assure you that he'll also be dealing with me. That is not a threat, its a fact.

Which part is the joke? I don't see it...



There are three topics where Tony is an expert:

1) Fishing/Hooping Regulations
2) Fishing Rigs & Knots
3) Food

There are three topics where Tony is not an expert:

1) Dieting
2) Spelling Bonito
3) Anything that concerns a women's body

Honestly I think it is funny Tony starts with this comment and then people say "Tony wasn't trying to bash you just help" when he says trolling for a reaction and then asks if Vince is serious. Are you DFG tony? Are you blind? Those lobsters are clearly legal so why do you care if he tails them in the parking lot, keep it to yourself man. Its obvious Vince has some integrity and conservation if he points out he released the 2 largest females for reproduction, and yet Tony still feels the need to help! (police) the post. If Vince wants to risk getting caught in the parking lot why does it matter to you?

I thought we were past this one...

Wow aren't we excited today! So you ask why does it matter to me? He clearly did something that was illegal, and it needed to be pointed out. Otherwise, others would also do the same, and unknowingly get busted. Looks like he made an honest mistake, we all do sometimes. We all should be following the rules, like em or not. If we stop following the rules then that makes our community look bad. It only takes a few guys to screw it up for all of us.

Chill out man, no reason to get hostile

Good intelligent answer Tony...sometimes it just doesn't pay to be the nice guy and try to help!
