Macs are just fine for lobster. I usually carry out a sibiki with me hooping and try to catch a few as extra bait or for next time. The bait tends to be real hard to make after dark but sunset works good (sometimes!).
Hooping takes alot of bait especially if you are doing it often with 5 nets. I try to keep every bit of bait I come across, i.e. used bait from fishing, ask buddies to hold onto their macs or bonito they catch, etc, to help keep the total cost down.... |

It can be done, but it will take some time to get enough macs. I had a $0 trip last week thanks to the sabiki.

If you make bait fishing out in La Jolla, and decide to bring it back with you, do you need to kill it before paddling through the reserve? Aren't there some rules against possessing in the reserve or bringing on shore live fish?
Sorry for the noob questions. I did try searching here with no luck on this topic. |

I save myself the time and just buy the bait, I can overstuff all five cages with Salmon heads for under $10. Occasionally, I'll find both Yellowtail and Bonito heads for $.99/lb....they're hard to come buy but I do find them from time to time. The fish market where I get my bait will give me their scraps(guts, gills, tails..etc) for free if I ask for them.

Which market do you go to, if I might be so bold and ask the question.

Pier fishing
I did something different this year! Went to balboa pier with two rods, homemade chum and lots of sabikis. Chummed the water and averaged four macs per retrieve. Got several neighboring fisherman and kids interested and my bucket became the mackerel lobster bait depository! Good times and the kids that started catching was priceless. Sure it cost a few "loaner" sabikis but it got the job done.

I may be mistaken but I feel like I've heard/read that if you are hooping for lobster that you are not allowed to have rods and reels on the boat. I could swear that I've heard of people getting written up for this...am I wrong? I'm much too lazy to just look it up.
