Bug It Forward..

To much dismay of the LJ Mansion owner(s), we went out last night to hoop & .
I took Tman's advice and threw some dirt on the ol' shoulder and paddled our arses off to PB.
Apparently many people within this special zip code,think they own more than their fair share.
My predictions for the nights crawl were only off by 30+ minutes to be precise.
#1's First pull of the night yields two keepers, but the back of their carapaces where one would measure, is cracked right off. Back in the drink..

After setting our spread and determining the nights crawl direction, I pull up what appears to be a slashed net?!?
Then about thirty minutes later, one of the Soldiers confirms my suspicions with his set getting slashed also.
(Confirmation of a blue light searching diver from one of the adjacent mansions, presumably.)
Then about another 45 minutes go buy, and I hear a huge splash, and notice one of us suddenly gets unexplainably & completely capsized!?...This happened exactly right in front of the #1 GPS drop.

This section of reef has produced consistently every single trip for the past several years.
I am in need of your help now to extract every last legal bug from it now that my shoulder is d.o.n.e..
If you search out the #3-4 area, and its adjacent volcanos, you will find one lobster specifically, that has a chest as fat as a basketball. My diver buddy left him alone for one of you to discover..The key I have found, is to try and sneak in as shallow as possible, and pull a "Ryan", but on a kayak. It seems the commercials stop around this range of drops, as to of course not get grounded. In the 14'-28' was gold last night. Crawl started thick right at 8pm sharp.
One buddy was learning the "ropes", and was in a section far off from us 40-50+. I yelled several times to come work closer to us, but I guess he didnt hear, and subsequently got bupkis. Long story and no shorts, I try and implement the "Bug It Forward" whenever applicable. I will always give a buddie at least one of my sweet bugs for their hard efforts if they should come up empty traps..
the lucky few who saved the #'s go get em.....
