Ventura has a new fishing sport and I missed it?

Evidently lobsters jump, so I would like to know how high.

Where do you buy the floating nets and how high off the bottom is the best place to catch those jumping lobsters?

Did the DFG change the rules and are now allowing floating nets?

Can we now start another new sport and have a west coast version of the Calevarus (sp) jumping frog event but we'll use lobsters instead? Of course we will need a rather large glass tank, say about 10,000 gallons or so of sea water so you won't have to be a diver to see the big event.

Title of this new event??

"IT's MILLER TIME!" of course.

I usually run two of the really big promar bouys and about 10 feet less of rope than the depth of where i'm hooping. The double bouys really get caught up the current good and get that net drifting around. Once the net gets in a high traffic area, like mid harbor, the bugs just seem to jump in the net! WIDE OPEN I tell ya!

Pass me another one, would ya?

What I want to know is just how many of these "floating nets" were recovered by Harbor Patrol.
I tend to believe most of the prop wraps from "floating nets" are actually free floating lines that drift out after divers cut stuck hoops free. Perhaps the divers could help by disposing of the lines properly, and not just taking the hoops.
