This was my first time hoop netting for lobster. Not only was it a blast, we caught some BIG BOYS. Dungeness crab are one of the best eating fish/crustacean in the Bay Area, but these lobster might them a run for their money!!! Huge thank you to my buddy Ensei for showing me the ropes and joining me on this adventure. You will see more of him in my next couple videos (expect some epic content).

When I was a film student in the 70s we used to go up to the Palisades area and there were lobster traps all over in that area. I was into other things so I never gave it a try. I was just out in the garage getting minor things done to my crab snaring gear. Duck season opens on the 24th but we didn't get a refuge reservation so that is out for a while. Can't wait to bring in that first keeper on a snare!!!!!!

Just a note how to measure them correctly... Start at the top of the head, place the gauge in the head first and slide it into the groove between the horns and than measure like normal. with that said if you come in from the front there is a thin membrane there and the gauge will catch that making the lobster appear legal when in fact it's short! Almost cost me a ticket one night a Game warden showed me as we thought is was the correct size when in fact it was short by 1/8" He was cool about it and was very nice He said just return it and all was good!

Just a suggestion this it is what I use for night time fishing a couple car 50 or 55 watt headlight bulbs. Do not get them wet they will blow out. Just hook that to a12v battery and it will give you more light than you can imagine. That's how I do my night fishing. You can also use drill batteries and stuff like that they just will not give you that long run time. But remember you can add and offf and on switch and only use it when I need it.
