Shedders

[MSilvia]

Of the four lobsters I got at Pebble on saturday, two had recently molted, and two were rock hard and barely legal.... due to molt any time. I'd guess that over the next several weeks well be seeing a lot of smaller lobsters grow to legal size all of a sudden.

We got a couple of water-filled shedders at the same location, too. 'Tis the season, I guess. What happened to Loblolly?

The one legal I got Sat night in RI was soft as a sponge.....I wound up releasing...

What happened to Loblolly?

Low tide... we didn't figure underwater rock climbing would be much fun, so backtracked to Pebble. We got 8 keepers in two dives, and split them 50/50, so it was still pretty productive.

yea, the other 50% went to me. We had 2 fantastic dives and there were plenty hiding in rocks that we could not convince to come out

We did pretty good, too. Caught a bunch of just unders, though, and tossed them back for another day(hopefully). I was surprised we didn't see any lobzilla. Last year at Pebble I saw two of the biggest lobsters I've ever seen diving, this time zero.

I caught 3 keepers at Back Beach on Sunday, All turned out to be soft, and amounted to a sandwich and a half. There were a LOT of very little lobsters, and one (I think) large one I couldn't coax out of it's hole.

Sounds like shedders all around. Should be some good keepers around in a week or so.

generla idea. parking has changed a bit. It used to be marked by signs but its unclear as to if there is resident parking anywhere.
