Re: Holy Sh*T- How Many?

Ok so maybe this is an odd lobster question. But if I am ever faced with such a stock pile of lobsters, where should you start the grabbing process? I have tried getting bugs when they are side by side. And even though the target lobster never touched me or even sensed me, the smaller bastard shot off and they both headed deep in the whole. No lobsters for me
So I have always wondered, do you just go for the biggest and battle it out, stuffing lobsters under every arm? Or do you work the ones at the edge inward, to maximize your take from one hole?
I figured there has to be a strategy here, any ideas or experiences?

Re: Holy Sh*T- How Many?

Saw something similar to that this past weekend at Rosa.
Can't say I left them all there... But I left some.

You have to pick one or two and COMIT, then see who is left and do it over again if your lucky! Sometimes when they are that thick you can get one in each hand

Re: Holy Sh*T- How Many?

Probably not legal but my friend (a salt dog) said they used to steal the janitors mops at their school and stick it in a loaded hole and they would get all tangled up and your get like 4-5 at a time and then just sort through them. Seems like it would work! not sure if its legal or not but if it isn't i'll try it haha and that is with the florida spinet lobster not sure how spiney those ones are

Re: Holy Sh*T- How Many?

I found a hole with a few hundred bugs in it last week in Laguna and a buncha treefish behind them. It can be very confusing. There is definetly safety in #'s but I managed the biggest one in the hole.

Get this, there were so many, when I reached in they could not move because they all tried to move at the same time and jammed each other up.

Re: Holy Sh*T- How Many?

This video was taken by my brother while we were at SCI last year. Its too bad it wasn't during lobster season, but its a beautiful bounty to behold none the less.

Unfortunately, with the reduced quality on youtube you can't see it, but at the very end of the video, the last corner of that cave was absolutely piled, lobster on top of lobster.
