wtf is with this
soo went out to la jolla for some launched at 630 and landed at 12. there were no waves at all. set the nets and pulled throughout the night. nothing too interesting happened except we lost one of our nets for a good 30 min. the glow stick was hiding under the water..... and one of my nets had a knot in the line so when i dropped it, the float was about 10 feet below the surface so i was about to jump in when my friend realized that we had a sabiki rig so i just snagged it with that. ended up with 50 SHORTS. AHHH its painful having to through 50 lobsters back especially when some are so so so so close. bahh oh well

lobster questions and woes
I was out last Sunday (off LaJolla) and got 25 in 2 nets and a couple pulls.
Disappointing on one level, but I'd hate to get the fine that goes along with keeping even 1 short. The bioluminescensce thing was incredible! It actually made the trip, as I've never seen it before and the thousands of fish making the swirls under the waters surface were too cool. Any suggestions from anyone on an area with bigger bugs, and a manageable paddle? I have a fish-n-dive and love the stability, but realize the yak has it's limitations efficiency wise. Lastly, I appreciate the feedback from you guys regarding the various questions other members have. I'm going to try to make one of the meetings this week. Does anyone know how long they typically last? Not sure my boss will o.k. it and I've got lots of responsibilities at work. |

Last Thursday we had 4 kayakers pulling on 13 nets for four hours actively, and, got one legal total.
A dozen shorts in the standard 3 and 7/32" size. Was the same story for a couple of other 5 hour nights I spent last week out there. Just .... brutally slow right now. Had a decent limit on the opener though. And now I've got all my nets and gear dialed in perfectly with all the pulling practice. Just waiting for them to get hungry ... |

I know for a couple of days after the opener the commercial guys cant pull their pots.
That gives a few days with no competition, and a shot at the biggest bugs. Imagine now, with all of the commercial pots you see, and those you don't see, going up on deck every night, taking all of the legal bugs and tossing the shorts. What does that leave? The seafloor crawling with shorts. This is the same issue I have with the stupidity of the MLPAs. It's not the guys in yaks and skiffs making an impact on any species. It's the commercial guys. To lump us ALL together and call us 'Consumptives' is beyond ignorant. What to do? Go where they can't. That's the blessing of a yak. You don't need to be in 100' of water to get bugs. Any diver will tell you that. I've been gearing up in waist deep water, dropped my head into the water and seen a legal bug walking by my feet. All you need is rocks on the seafloor. Go find somewhere there are sandy spots near rocks where a commercial guy wouldn't take his boat. Good luck and be safe. Willy |
