Yeah - I read it all Sam...and Shaka - with that avatar you have today I have just been staring at it! My only other question (I am just too lazy to google it) is when does the lobster season end?

Mr Clean:I could use a dive buddy for opening night.

The first Wednesday after the 15th of March. The season starts and ends on the same days (not dates) every year (for California): The Saturday before the first Wednesday in October is always the start and the Wednesday after the 15th of March is always the end of the season.ryanarcher:Yeah - I read it all Sam...and Shaka - with that avatar you have today I have just been staring at it!

#2 Is it true bugs like it when there's no moon ?
#3 What time is best to go ?
a. early sunset
b. middle of the night
c. early dawn
d. high/low tide
#5 Also heard they stay in shallow water early in the season and deeper water later in the season ?
Just one observation I made last year during my first season of bug hunting. When I found Garibaldi and Sheepshead in the same spot that's were the bugs seemed to be. I could follow a Garibaldi to his hole and he'd have co. Bugs!
And where there was one or more there were more around the general area.
I dive mainly beaches from Malibu - Ventura .
#6 Anyone else have the same experience ?
Last season i went out to my secret spot with my bro. And the swoop netters(guess it's not so secret) had the place wired. Then they got uncomfortable that we would disturb their traps(which we would have stayed far far away from) and they lectured us on how they use red lights to check their traps and how our white lights scare them.So Cal Divin:#4 I heard (BBS Myth ?) that they don't react to red lites.
Sam_in_SanDiego:Experiance?
Sorry to ask but I've had a few bad dives with strangers.
