Cockroaches in my sink!
 

I had a great start to the bug season this year already.

I got a call from a friend on Saturday mid-day who said he had limit at a certain location, and I should hop to it if I want to do hoop netting and get some bugs.

I had to rush to the spot and spend the night hoop netting and got my limit.

1-Bugs in the sink.

4- Some Persian style rice and salad put it all together. Of course there was a nice wine to go with it.

I also released between 250-300 shorts based on the following calculation:
Pull net every 15 min…>>4/hr. X 6 hours=24 pulls,
Pull net every 20 min...>>3/hr. X 5 hours=15 pulls,
39 pulls X 2 nets=78 pulls,
Average 4 lobsters per net=312
Some pulls had 6 bugs, and a few none.

WOW.

That looks awesome. Well worth the effort if you ask me.

bugs, cockroaches,maggots, rats, it's all good chet!

Thanks guys.

Beautiful, delicious creatures of the Sea they are.

If ya ever want a yak or dive bud out there let me know. Ill be out thurs/fri/sat for sure.

Thanks. I will keep in mind.

I am certified, but have not gone diving in many years.

Purchased a new dive computer, and yet to put it in the water.

I hope my wetsuit still fits.

Do a refresher
 

Mahigeer,

If you haven't dove in years, please, please do some daytime refresher courses and a night warm-up dive before heading out on a night bug hunt. Every year too many folks are lost due to task overloading on a night bug hunt, and no bug is worth that.

I am an active diver, and even I get overwhelmed and call dives early when bug hunting--so much going on during these dives. Just this last weekend I bailed out with half a tank after getting wrapped up in kelp for a few minutes. Stopped that spiral before it could start.

Thank you for the advise.

I do not take chances that can be very dangerous.

Not worth it.

Why don't you reef rapers ditch the tanks

DANNY are you free diving in the dark?

Always.....mo' gear, mo' problems
