You could throw a saddle on that one and ride it around
I've heard that before. Guys I've talked to say the ones caught in or just outside harbors taste like shit compared to ones caught away from the harbors in open waters.Guy who bought my old house use to dive for ‘em in Long Beach….he brought me a couple on the way home. We cooked ‘em up the next night and they were foul…spit out and threw in the trash.
Are these any good to eat or do you guys just like being wet and cold all night?
I prefer to keep and eat lobsters that aren’t too large and old. A large lobster, in the 7-10 pound range can be 50 years old. It takes a lobster approximately 7 years to be legal size. Lobster will move around quite a bit, depending on age and habitat you can catch some that might taste a little funky. As far as wet and cold, I dress appropriately for the conditions, only my beer is cold.Guy who bought my old house use to dive for ‘em in Long Beach….he brought me a couple on the way home.

You need to throw them in a cooler with water and a pump to let them purge. So they can get the crappy water out of them.Guy who bought my old house use to dive for ‘em in Long Beach….he brought me a couple on the way home.

lol. I used to know a guy that would chase the Catalina Express across the channel in a 10ft zodiac with a 15hp outboard on it to dive for the day and then run home.Funny story. While visiting my brother in Washington, Camano Island north of Seattle one time late spring he wanted to take me lobster fishing off the island. Says him and the father in law go all the time. Mainly to get away from the wife’s & kids, drinks some beers and just bullshit the day away. Sounds great let’s do it I say. Next morning we’re getting ready for the day of brother bonding time he says to me I’ll be outside hooking the boat up. I look at him funny scratching my head and say ok. I’ll be out in a minute after I perform my morning ritual of dropping a couple Cosby kids off at the pool, thinking to myself I don’t remember seeing any boat parked on his property. However he does have 5+ acres, so who knows. I finish up grab the cooler walk out side and he says to me let’s go! I’m like go where? He says lobster fishing. My answer back to him was “no, really, where are we going?” Lobstering was his reply. I told him ain’t no way in hell I’m getting in a 12” aluminum dingy with a 5hp outboard in the middle of the ocean. That bitch don’t start we’re ending up in china or worse! We ended up going golfing and stopping at the store buying lobsters for dinner on the way home. Ahhh the memories
Thats a monster.... haven't seen one that size in years.
You eat marine life from San Diego Bay properBeen hoop netting San Diego Bay for quite a long time, It’s a lot of fun. We usually do pretty well hitting specific locations. It’s a rush when you pull a trap and feel a nice thump at the end of the line. You never know what you might pull up in a trap, watch out for the sculpin and rays! Have fun, the bounty is worth the effort! View attachment 1333601
Got it, yup some beautiful clear water around both sides of the Zuniga BW and the lee before you round the tip on the north side.From the mouth of the bay, Jetty area, yes. Commercial guys fish all over the mouth of the bay, outside the channel of course. I would never eat anything deep inside the bay or South Bay Area, although lots of folks do. Been eating them for a long time and haven’t grown a third nipple yet!
If you're interested I have a buddy looking to outfit his boat. He wants to get set up with 10 nets. I told him to wait until the season is over and people start selling.We would hoop years ago and a lot of the time around Catalina on our own boat.
Just got too crazy with all the nets especially around the brake wall it was like bobbing around land minds to get out. Too many people letting their 100’ line float in 20’ of water.
Still have all the gear just no blue water boat anymore.
I have all lay flat hoop nets, most people want the conical style as its easier not to loose lobsters if you quit pulling for what ever reason.If you're interested I have a buddy looking to outfit his boat.

San Nicolas, the land of the dinosaur lobsterRan out to San Nicolas Island a few years ago and brought the hoops. No need to measure, everything we brought up was 3 lbs and up.
Somebody would rather eat striped marlin vs lobster The only marlin I could stomach was smoked, otherwise I thought it sucked, especially the texture. Maybe the Mexicans have perfected some method of preparing it I'm unaware of ??We didn't catch these. Traded my marlin and some gear for lobster and gps area for fishing from the locals
Mag Bay fishing from san diego down to Cabo

Maybe they were looking more for quantity than quality. They also wanted the grouper carcass and I guess they make soup out of the heads.Somebody would rather eat striped marlin vs lobster The only marlin I could stomach was smoked, otherwise I thought it sucked, especially the texture.

Looks like a great day on the waterMaybe they were looking more for quantity than quality. They also wanted the grouper carcass and I guess they make soup out of the heads.
I don't remember how many we caught that day but at least 20. Catch and release but it was my first so we kept.
