LBC 1/15/11 Full Pots

[marzocchi]

Did another one of those winter twilight fishing / lobster trips. I had my regular deckhand Dennis along with me and my good friend James. I wanted to add some more lobster gps coordinates to our arsenal. So instead of heading to our usual spots, we had some predetermined topo locations that I wanted to try out. This was more of a exploratory trip than anything else. We got lucky once again and found the big lobsters on spot#1. We were rewarded with full pots on spot #2 and the final spot #3 was also loaded with the bigger bugs. We fished in between setting the pots and had a nice steady pick on the sand bass, sculpin, and brown rockfish. Nothing wide open like the last trip. All in all a very successful exploratory trip. LBC is definitely where the lobsters are partying. Pictures of the bummed lobsters when I raided their party:

It is a good sign when your first party goer is a big one.

This is the size we were getting with the party pooper himself. Stacked the pots and reset them on test spot #2 and did some fishing.

Something about this color green when the squid are around.

Here is Dennis with one of the many nice scullys we caught. Dennis and James got to take home a limit of these delicious scorpion fish.

We also got a few of these brown rockfish.

A nicer grade chocolate bass. Rockfishes was released with the sand bass. I dont like taking bass on my boat. But If you're a guest on my boat, you are more than welcome to keep some bass for table fare. I dont hug trees.

Back to the lobsters. Nice full pot for spot #2.

Love it when you pull the net up and there is all this splashing around. It is music to my ears.

We hit the motherload. Left the area to test spot #3.

Thats all I want to show you. I was cold, tired, and sleepy. I also had a massive headache which made me kind of seasick. I almost threw up at the end. I also got a parking ticket. It was totally worth it. I had a blast and I want to do it again. Hope you guys enjoy the read. See you all next time.
