Yes and kinda. My first season, it was hit or miss for me. Still fun though!

Any of you guys go in the San Diego area? I just got a new fishing boat I'm going to start taking out. I've got some friends I've been going with in Marina Del Rey and having pretty good luck. It just seems like Point Loma has been over fished this year.

I'm in the San Diego area. Not much experience hooping though. I've only done the Mission Bay jetty before. I might give SD Bay a try sometime soon.

Wow, what a way to bust your lobster cherry.



Also, yes to hooping regularly, and yest go a good season. To me a good season is coming home with 2-3 legals a night on average, which includes a few nights of 5-7 and a couple of skunks.

good luck

My first season from the yak, done pretty well. Exclusively San Diego bay , mid 30s as far as numbers and 3.84 lbs for best size so far. Know of others that could catch lobster in a bucket and trying to absorb as much from them as possible!!!

Making me think about heading out again and SOON!

La jolla was hard to beat early season. We routinely catch over 100 each outing (lotta shorts) but at least the action never stopped.


Sd bay for quality for sure. Season best was 10.5 followed by some 8's and countless 4's and 5's.


Keep your karma good :cheers1:

That sounds like a killer spot! Are you going off a boat?
