Hoops in the water is ok, you just can't bag any lobsters until after midnight.

Hoops in the water...
Hoops in the water before midnight IS NOT OK!!!
Sure you can tell the Warden that you are hooping for crabs...But unless he's in a really good mood for a story...you'll be getting a ticket. You MAY win in court...but that means you've got to take a day off of work and lose the day's pay to fight the ticket. Is it worth it...? The season is almost 6 months long, why push the issue and harass an already overloaded warden? They already have enough on their plate without having to deal with a bunch of quasi-lawyer knuckleheads. I catch as many Bugs in November and December as I do in October or September. There is a reg change coming our way in the 16-17 season concerning the time of the recreational opener. It was talked about at length in the Lobster Fishery Management Plan meetings. 6pm. Friday night or 6am. Saturday morning is the type of start time they are exploring. This is exactly one of the reasons the wardens mentioned. They are well aware of what goes on and are tired of the B.S. and they expressed it in the meetings! Hoops in the water or a diver in the water before Midnight is a definite Red Flag and you'll have a confrontation with a Warden if there is one around...Again...is it worth it for a few extra minutes?

I emailed CA DFG...
Jon
8:42 PM (1 hour ago) to askmarine My buddy and I are planning on heading out on the water Friday night (late) so we can pull traps after midnight. So... Question: Can you drop your hoop nets in the water before midnight (Friday Night) and let them soak (for less than the 2hr. max of course) and pull them after midnight (so now technically it's Saturday / opening day)? I saw some talk of this on a fishing forum and still do not feel like I have a clear answer. Can you please clarify whether or not this is "OK" or "a ticket waiting to happen"? We are hoop netting in the Southern California area. Thanks in advance, Jon Roberts, Ed@Wildlife 9:07 PM (1 hour ago) to me, Wildlife No. You cannot drop hoop nets (be careful with your words here - in one sentence you use the word "traps", which may not be legally used to take lobster) with the intent to take lobster before 000 hours on September 27. If you were to drop your hoop nets before midnight, legally you could not retain any lobsters in those nets even if you pulled them after midnight. -------------------------------------------------- Edgar W. Roberts III Environmental Scientist California Recreational Fisheries Survey Department of Fish and Wildlife 619 2nd Street Eureka, CA 95501 707.441.5757 office 707.599.5318 cell 707.445.7883 fax Ed.Roberts@wildlife.ca.gov “The mission of the CRFS is to collect fishery-dependent data on California's marine recreational fisheries, and to accurately estimate catch and effort in a time frame and on a scale that meets management needs." From: Jon Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2014 8:42 PM To: Wildlife Ask Marine Subject: RE: Opening Night for Spiny Lobster Jon 9:17 PM (55 minutes ago) to Ed.Roberts Ed, Thank you for the quick reply. I meant "hoop nets" and not "traps". It just seemed on the forum like some people on the forum were not clear how to interpret this. I now have "clarity" on the this and will be dropping my "hoop nets" a few minutes after midnight. Thanks again, Jon |

Just wanted to say thanks to Jim for hosting the seminar today at Turners.
It was great to meet a couple people from BWE as well as pick up some tips on catching some bugs. |
