Hell yeah your welcome to chill with us! Me and the crew are leaving Salinas at four in the morning Thursday. I plan on coming home sat.. As for weather looks good to me... See you guys there!!!

WX is improving. 9er fam will be there rain or shine

quick Q...
So as I am from Socal... we have lobster... not dungenous so we use hoops, not cages/traps.
Back in the day I used to crab off of Pacifica using flat hoops... before they introduced that no night time access rule.

I only have those conical hoops now.
How do they work for dungenous? Can they escape from the conical's? what should my "pull up & check" times be from a yak using those?

I just googled conical lobster trap. They don't look much different from my crab rings. They should be fine. I check my rings about every 15 min give or take. For bait, a lot of guys use chicken, fish carcasses, or mackerel.

Anthony, do you know were to drop rings? Ive only caught them off the dock..Wanna drop deeper with the yaks this time!

I'm gonna try the cove...I've only crabbed off the dock too. I remember O2B dropping a couple of pots in the cove, and paddling up the river a bit with rings.

What's the depth of Albion cove??

20'-75' if I remember right. I plan on staying shallow and on the north side of the cove. Sandy bottom there. Plus my ropes are only about 35' long.

Leaving for Albion tomorrow morning!
