I went out to a pier. Specifically the Ocean Beach Pier which is the biggest pier on the west coast. The problem is people are always fishing off the pier and there had to be at least 50 people trying to catch lobsters even on a friday night at midnight. The pier must just be fished out because no one caught anything.
I did notice about ten boats out setting lobster traps and from the cheering and shouting it seems like they were catching plenty but they were well away from the pier. Damn I need a boat. ![]() |

Check this out Oerdin...
http://www.airlinebyjsink.com/ There's a 12V system on ebay for less than $800. (search hookah dive) I'd take a pic of it but its all boxed up. The point is, no need for a dive shop to recharge your tank. All you need is a 12 V solar charger and you can recharge off the grid if you're into such stuff. Anyway, with a small used boat you could anchor a little ways out and pluck lobster off the bottom to your hearts content. |

I wander what was the last time anyone caught anything on that pier... but 50 people still come even at Friday midnight... ![]() American optimism shines through ![]() |

Man, is it really that hard to catch lobsters/crabs there? Here you just throw a crab pot of a sea wall and catch a half dozen blue crabs in an hour, you don't even need a pier. Apparently if you go out on a boat no and even at piers if you go at the beginning of the season then even the piers are crawling with lobsters and crabs but since you don't even need a license to fish off piers they quickly get over fished. I hear lobsters and crabs don't travel very far and tend to stay in the same area. 1/4 mile from the pier I see boats loading up on lobsters & crabs but it's out of my reach until I get a boat or go snorkeling. I should have started on opening night on Sep 27th. |
