Thought I'd try a new spot last night and launched from Seal Beach. I've always looked at that jetty while surf fishing and thought I'd like to give it a shot for lobster. So we arrive at Seal Beach at 530 pm and unload all our gear right on the sand. It was a short drag across the beach to the water and a easy launch with ankle-slappers. We dropped our first set of nets shallow: about 50 yds. from shore and 10-12 ft of water... let 'em soak.. and pulled them for nothing. As the night went on we worked our way down the jetty all the way to the end, couldn't even pull up a single short. We saw some divers who had said they got a few legals... Up until last night I at least
thought I knew what I was doing... I mean, c'mon! Not even one short?!?!
What... Did my dog piss on my bait when I wasn't looking or something?!?!
The highlight of the night was 2 large sculpin and the luminescent waters.
We ended up leaving the water at 1030, confused and wondering WhAT THe... ?!?!?
