too bad you were too busy catching poachers to drop a jig on those marks

I was coming in from free diving in my kayak when I met up with a couple of guys I new, swimming the opposite way Paul and Jeff were snorkeling in the middle of the jetty we met. As we were coming in all of us snorkeling together Jeff spotted a small cage trap and dove down and got the trap.it was full of short lobster, don't think the trap was even big enough for a legal size to get in.
Jeff freed all the short lobster and since I was the only one with a kayak I took the trap and we all met at the lifeguard office building and turned the trap in to an officer. We pointed to where we found the trap. The office said they come in at 2am in the morning and they are hard to catch. Hopefully when the guy comes back to get his trap a game warden catches him.

Hopefully that tweaker is gone for good. Getting tired of him parking his van and boat trailer at the hand launch all night.

I called them once at lake arrowhead when we saw a couple idiots spearing large mouth bass. They were out there quick.
