Lobster Hunting Expedition | Spirit Sportfishing

Lobster Hunting Expedition Print this page

California spiny lobster

Just a couple of tips:

* Lobster license's are individually purchased, the boat/charter does not hold a license.

* Bugs are usually located where other divers HAVE NOT taken them already. If alot of people are on the boat and you follow them, they'll catch the bugs first. Don't follow the others.

* More divers, less bugs for you. Find a boat that knows lobster hunting/spearing and use them. I like Diversity and Capt Tony in Boca, but there are many others too.

* Your movements (ie tickle stick) will need to be very slow to coax them out of the hole.

* If you haven't bug hunted before, you might want to get the video ' Tail Tamer ' and learn the techniques and tips.

* Lastly, post your picture here after your trip. You'll find alot more support with pictures!

Catalina Island, San Nicholas Island Dive / Hoop Net Trips - Proven spots for 15 years will send you home with some QUALITY Spiny Lobster at Catalina Island. Limits are 7 per person and not hard to come by! Venture to San Nicholas Island and try your luck on the all to common 10+ pound lobster! They are there and in LARGE numbers... no pun intended... Excellent Scallops as well!!
