I've been doing alot of freediving and have come across some holes that are stuffed with bugs. think 15-25 piled up! Could easily grab them in the daylight

If you need a boat...let me know...

well in that case, you can swim out and we will wait for you with beer, butter and dancing girls.

Be careful out there. Lobster season = WFO on idiot.

Slappy · 09-12-2010, 09:01 PM

Don't go on opening night. Its crazy out of Dana and Newport. If you go make sure your kayak is lit up like a Christmas Tree. If you are staying near the breakwater or in the harbor you are crazy. Too many amateur boaters that usually don't know what they are doing. I usually wait a week for the excitement to wear off. There are plenty of lobster.

update

the dredge is sitting off of mariners point in mission bay and pipe is being stacked on the south side.
not sure when dredging will start but as far as i know the channel and surrounding areas have not been disturb yet.

roadx · 09-29-2010, 02:17 PM

the closest parking to the jetty with overnight or late night parking is where the yellow X is across from belmont park on the bay side. short paddle to mariners point where i will try first (red dots) or into the jetty. bring your wheels you need them for a short haul to the water from the parking lot.

i'll be there around 11:15 and launch at 11:30ish

if you need direction let me know and who ever want to go lets hook up

roadx · 09-29-2010, 03:22 PM

meet me in the parking lot at 3071 Mission Blvd, San Diego, CA 92109 on the east side (bay side), across from belmont park. i will be parked at the very southeast corner where overnight parking is legal.
call me @ 619 980 two zero eight seven

How late are you going to stay out till...

roadx · 09-30-2010, 11:02 AM

im thinking at least two/three hours or like fishing until you know it's time to go in or bag limit

. start at mariners point then if that doesnt pan out go across to mission point and around the corner and hit the main jetty, leap froging the nets until someone finds a crawl and cover that area.
im always open to suggestions.

the cool thing about mariners point is there's a bird sanctuary on the point so theres no fishing from shore, it also has good tidal flow and surrounded by eel grass beds.

my buddy from work will be joining me/us

roadx · 09-30-2010, 11:08 AM

by the way im taking three nets, my logic is quick pulls and cover more ground by leap frogging

miguelitro · 09-30-2010, 04:08 PM

steve- take a couple extra beers for me, I'll swim up and bum one or two

also, i have 5-6 smaller macks if you need some bait.

bring the bait if you want to get rid of it. i'll make sure and bring some extra beers

dude, you guys are freakin crazy for tackling the MB jetty on the opener....cluster F@$& !!!!!!

I live in the area, love lobster and have plenty of nets but the only reason I would venture to that area on that day is to stand on the jetty and film the carnage....but as long as you and your yak survive I'm sure you'll have a good story.

and Mikey,

keep your grubby mitts outta my bug holes!!!!
