Set me straight.. do people do searches for subjects to find 6 month old posts, or more, and reply so they can show off their 'wisdom?' Or is their an issue with forums on BD?

[Buttchaser]

Here are some nice bugs off of the east coast. South Carolina.

[lobster451]

Some bugs from NC

[OCEANSIDEHOOKER]

in the bays hoopn always at night from dusk till dawn.

after a rain when the fresh water flushes them from the jetties and exposed rock spots. when water is murky and no divers out!!! hoop the deeper spots. they go into the submerged structures.

whenever the water gets stirred up in the bays like a heavy current or we get pounded by waves as soon as its not too rough is a good time.

full moon dives are fun you see a lot of other stuff you just gotta look closer and entice em wit bait

incoming tides are easier if you're freediving cuz the tide pushes you into the rocks instead of pulling you away on an outgoing tide. as always the incoming tides you'll see other stuff come in to feed

One of the most memorable dives I have ever experienced was during a bright full moon.
It was in LJ off Marine st. in about 25-30 feet.
The vis was the best I have ever seen,day or night,30 plus.
The surge(early on) was absolutely zero.
I felt as if I were in a swimming pool,the sand seemed to glow from the moon.
Every now and then I would just stop on my knees and look up at the moon light shimmering down through the depths as kelp stalk shadows danced around me.
I beleive I ended up with around 5 keepers this dive.


So,to answer this poll,full moon,at nigh, slack tide with great vis.

[jesse]

I can't wait to get me some critters-

[ThreeLeggedMule]

I'll never give up the info again. Lost a couple great spots to big mouths. Really, most of you should know that already. Unless you are noobs. I know this is an old thread but there is 177 hours untill opener-07.

My people get blind folded at the dock so they don't know where they are catching their limits.

[tailsurfer]

hey, this is for Bocker; YOU WISH!!! it's a lot harder to grab them then to sit on your boat drinking beer and waiting for them to crawl into your net(s). Ther are like fish with legs!

Yup

[Jig Strike]

Just after midnight.

Sorry it took me a month to find this........

What?

[KennyMac]

The best time to bug hunt???..... right after they are through boiling and the butter is warmed up.

[Capt. G]

Best time to bug hunt would be two to three days before the season opens. Did I just say that?

I personally find the best time to be between 9 am and 8 pm weekdays, and noon to 11 on weekends.

if you miss those hours you kinda have to break the glass doors to get to the lobster tanks....

Mikey, it's 7 for everyone. You knew that.

Before letting your people drive your boat you should atleast take off their blindfolds...(avatar)

[Heavyd]

[VERGIE]

SHIT,I NEED TO GET MY ASS BACK IN THE WATER,USED TO GET THEM FASTER AND MORE.

[The Dangler]

The moon was really bright last night...didn't even see a lobster out in Mission Bay and along the jetty.

[aratzky]

best time to hunt is when you find them
