I went out to Mission Bay on opening night. Got to my spot around 1130 and there were already at least 5 other boats waiting to drop. Dropped and cycled through 4 volcano hoops and 1 flat hoop using Drake pucks filled with mackerel that I've been saving from La Jolla. Pulled up 20 plus lobsters with 3 keepers in about 3 hours.
Went out again to the same spot on Saturday evening and did the same thing from dusk till about 11. It was very slow and I only pulled one undersize for till about 10 and finally had one pull with a giant one, another legal, and one barely undersize. I then got two other legals on separate pulls. I only caught 6 lobsters but 4 were legal and since it was technically still the 28th I limited out.
Brought some of them to the chargers game and grilled them during the tailgate. The tails were twitching and moving on the grill so everyone knew they were fresh.
Good luck out there. Get them while it's hot.
