GONE BUGGIN! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

KatFish · 10-08-2012, 05:33 PM

Went out for the first time this weekend! I had to stay onshore

bum leg for the kid. But hellboy came thru with the goods! My job was to catch bait on the pier with the kid but no luck, way too many people. We also caught our first rock crab!

I had a question but my husband is confusing the hell out of me!

Awsome! Congratualtions! Did you catch the lobster off of the pier or kayak?

The one pic that had the measure I was going to ask a question but my hubby was confusing me! So I kept it to myself cuz he's a butt ps that one we didn't keep he was taking the pic for a question! No he was on a yak not on the pier no one on the pier caught any.

well the one in question is legal. if it goes past the first ring its too small. and by first ring i mean the one attached to the carapace that does not flex.

nice going! i didnt know how to measure bugs correctly and thought that that first line was the starting of the tail.. i didnt know it was still the carapace. i threw back 3 legals on accident. haha

The one measured is almost a 1/4" over being legal. It's nice when there's no doubt, like with that one.
