Lobster pots

Jeff,

Thanks for the 'honest' report. I can personally relate to your frustration with hoop netting. Did it for 2 years without catching ANYTHING edible. Finally caught some decent crabs about a month ago, so it has renewed my faith. Almost everyone else I've talked to about hoop netting has had great success! I believe the key is the old adage -- location, location, location -- but it's hard to find THE locations from anyone else until you stumble upon them yourself.

We're now into scuba diving, hoping to increase my chances at those elusive bugs...

I have got a few crabs with hoop nets, but never a lobster. The best way is with the hands--and at night. Go get em Jeff!

Hello Everyone,
I havent gone buggin this season yet ....but will be going here shortly......having a little one these days makes time limited. @any rate I bought all my hoop nets @ the Fred Hall fish and game convention that comes out here in L.B. every april....Sweet deals also ebay do a search for prommar hoop nets!! You have to know the spots to go and also the tides!! It is like a light switch ...when the tides move so does the bugs they come out to feed...Chopped makeral and bonita are candy for the buggs...I like to go shallow..10ft to 25ft max!!...Good Luck!!

Thanks for the note Steve and yes, for better or worse, I am honest. But it was a blast still and I will continue.

Bob! Hello! Yes, the 'ol C-Pelican is being used and yes, I will have to review my diving skills and begin anew and go to the lobsters it seems. But catch or not, it is fun to be on the water.

Jeff
