Let them concentrate on the poachers by giving them a break on checking out your nets, just because you feel you need a head start.
Good Luck this Season!!

True. Can't blame a newbie for looking for any advantage he can get

A not so smart newbie will need the advantage!!

I am going to try to make a Monday night run every week for a while, Since I can actually get out to fish at night with the Wife home! Maybe i'll finally run into you out there

And on September 30th everyone and their mom will also be calling asking if you caught any lobster.

Does anyone go to the SD harbor to catch lobster and if so on your yak or on pier?

[slobslayer]

All i have to say is they're closer than you think. It takes me about 5 min to paddle to my favorite spot

Thanks for the response about when you can drop on opening night. I went ahead and e-mailed to ask if I could drop my nets without bait and I got the generic response:

Unfortunately it is prohibited to drop the hoop nets any sooner than 12 A.M. This is still considered engaging in the act of fishing. Even though it is legal for crabs, your main purpose will be for the lobster opener. You can be cited for nets dropped prior to the start of the season. Thank you.

So now I'm thinking I will avoid getting run over by a PB at midnight and set my traps in the daylight on Saturday.
