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".

Larry, best part of hooping is being able to set one or more down on the kitchen floor and watch the reaction of the kids, dog and wife as it starts crawling in their direction

Pulling up just one legal will always make my night. Great haul on the bottom dwellers, fish and lobster feast!

Perfect meal

That haul makes a nice meal. Lobster is one of the only foods that tells you when it's done
