Moving to San Diego need advice

[roadx]

are you going to be interested in hooping (lobster netting)? if you are? i have some old hoops nets you can use, hell might give them to you if you like doing it. hooping is at night and usually in shallower waters. let me know and i'll keep them so you can try it out. lobster tags are $8 for the last half of the season, then $8 for the whole next year.

I love my OK Trident 13l. Works great in the California waters and is pretty quick. They weight is good for me and easy to move around. Those damn PA's look real nice though...

I see in all the pictures most the fish are attached to a large clip

Think of it as "rehabbing" your injury. Gameclips!

fish bags are a nice! i use wet burlap bags to keep the fish fresh. game clips are good for securing, bleeding and then dragging them on board and into the fish bag, especially halibut that can freak out when brought out of the water .
handle the fish the way your used to, you'll be fine

Lol tried that its what lead to my third surgery but I think it was more of the loading and unloading of the PA?..

thanks for the heads up on the clips ill be sure to get some.

I cant wait to catch a Halibut!
