Be unlikely to find anywhere more than 100 feet deep in this locale....

Wimp! I have done a lot of diving in the UK and caught a fair few lobsters with a litter picker, agree need to be humane and a quick blade in the head is the right thing to do. Plus throw back any carrying eggs.

I'll teach you

You get get rope with lead in it to keep it from floating, I wouldn't use floating rope or a combination of floating and sinking.

Don't do what people were doing off Eastbourne earlier this year - attaching glow-sticks to the buoys to make them easier to find in the dark. Cue lots of worried calls to the Police, HMCG, etc., about 'strange lights in the water'

That's standard practice here since we only can use hoop nets hear and need to pull then up multiple times per night. Besides glow sticks, people like little red flashers!

Yeah, well, that's the law in California for divers. The east coast guys get to use sticks and snares and such.

You ever use hoop nets from the surface for bugs? Somebody told me it's actually pretty productive.

From what I've read & heard, it's very productive (reports on bdoutdoors.com). I think you just need to find structure and you'll do well. Sometimes it's just easier to shore dive instead of pulling the boat out....

It will be interesting to see how long it's there for, like willk said, the local fishing mafia take there territory very seriously . Good luck with it whisper and if you get any trouble don't forget the RIBnet mafia is a lot bigger and tougher
