I've had my best hunts in the early morning hours. From 1:00 am on was pretty good for me. Full moon, incoming tide.

Never dove for bugs but my dad has and says the best time is always at dark because they come out of there holes and walk around.

Anytime you can get out. From what I have found there is no perfect scenario. Some days they crawl. Other days with the exact same conditions they won't crawl.

Word that. I have sat for hours for nada. And then I get like 3 in about 15 minutes. BTW I have a camera on my net so I know when they are crawling. There is no better time then dark... I have found.

I just go to Swazi's house when he's not home, there is an entire freezer full of them.

Let me know if you ever need a look out.

Dive shallow during the day and pull them out of their holes. Or hoopnet early evening, stay warm, drink beer and thank DFG for limiting the divers to 7 bugs because its just too easy when you can see the bug just sitting in the sand in front of you.

There is no perfect time -

This year so far I have done better at 11:30 Am I typically dive instead of eat lunch -

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

Where can I find a setup like that?

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

so, 7 for divers and 5 for fishermen......



where is Jesse Jackson. Im sueing.Death_To_


I personally find the best time to be between 9 am and 8 pm weekdays, and noon to 11 on weekends.

if you miss those hours you kinda have to break the glass doors to get to the lobster tanks....

 

[woolybugger]

7:30 to 9:30 i when I have my best luck but you never know theyll crawl when they want
full moons suck for hooping
when there is more current there seems to be a much better crawl
imo bigger lobsters seem to come out later

Early a.m. is a good time. We always seem to do decent at around 12:00-1:00 a.m.
