By Daniel Kangavari (Staff writer)
Unlike any type of fishing, lobster fishing does not require skill and only time a net, bait, Lobster a gauge, rope, and $10.80 for the California spiny lobster report card In California. The season runs from October to March which is required for all people even under 16 years of age. Report cardholders who fail to return their Spiny Lobster Report Card or report their harvest online by April 30, will be assessed a $21.60 non-return fee when they purchase a spiny lobster report card for the following season. First, you need to purchase a hoop net with a rope long enough to touch the bottom of your body of water, and a spiny lobster gauge to measure the lobster to make sure its carapace is bigger than 3 ¼ inches and smaller than 5 inches to keep.
Next, you need to drill big holes in a small plastic container with a tight lid and tie it in the middle of the trap, once you have the trap and report card you need to get any kind of uncooked fish scraps, guts, or raw chicken.
After dark, once you have arrived at the end of your local pier, you can tie your rope securely to your net insert your bait, tie the other end of your rope to the pier, and throw the crab as far away from the pier so it doesn’t get tangled.
Lastly, let the lobster net soak for 15-30 minutes and pull the net out as fast as possible, if nothing is caught then remove any seaweed and throw the net back out.
Do not use a box trap or snag the lobster with treble hooks because it is illegal, only hoop nets are allowed. To conclude lobster fishing is fun and rewarding if you do it right.

Supplies needed
spinning rod and reel with a 15-pound monofilament or braided line
size 4 sabiki rig
1-ounce sinker
Towel
Knife
Scissors
Any cut bait not artificial like shrimp, squid, or filleted mackerel
First, when you arrive at your local pier tie on a size 4 sabiki rig with a 1-ounce sinker on the end of the line most sabiki rigs come with 6 hooks if you only have a light setup then you should only be using 2-4 hooks. Cut any fresh bait you can use shrimp or filleted mackerel strips next underhand cast as far out as you can and close the bail and let it sink you do not need to let the line go very deep because mackerel are middle water fish and sometimes closer to the top of the water 8- 20 feet from the top. Next, you can do 2 slow rotations and jig up, then, wait 5-10 seconds for a bite. If there is no bite then repeat until you get to the surface of the water and check your bait and replace any missing pieces and continue until you get a mackerel to bite. When you feel the tip of your pole go down you need to jig up fast and if you don’t hook it then you need to wait for the mackerel to come back.
