Anyway, nice bugs!

so, the female bugs love the young frisky little males more?

launched in belmont, next to the pier. no stairs to deal with, and no long walk to deal with. but my buddy said he's seeing alot more boats and kayaks go to the oil islands at night. luckily our spot is several dozen yards off the islands.

Great set of bugs there! Now if your kind enough to point in the right direction of where you caught them, i'll be glad to pay you back with some beer!

Just the opposite, it's the big old males they like. And apparently it's because of sperm quality. The big old boys got it where it counts... or so I've been told.
