lobsters
Any lobster in Gonzaga bay area
I\'ve been told I\'m preoccupied with Baja. They just don\"t understand, in fact neither do I.

I don't believe so as the water is too warm?!?!?!?-------I have never seen any there and we have looked over the last 45 years. Their is a lot of
"clicking" going on under water when you free-dive, snorkle, or skuba----not sure what the "clicking" is, tho.

Possibly!!!
My son and I were screaming across San Francisquito Bay towards Punta Final in two different tin-boats when my son hit something that darn near tore
his outboard off---------upon investigation we discovered olive-drab paint on the leading edges of the prop and skeg. Spooky!!!!! Forgot to check
to see if the "clicking" stopped, tho.

they have to be there. john has seen one and a very credible source claims to have bagged em at the entrance to williard. now coco (and we all know
how nomads hang onto coco's every word) tells me lobster are as far north as ensenada blanca. we did hoop the area around papa's for nada, like a
desert out there.
but there must be SOME!

------yeah but, lobsters walk really slowly and it's a long walk from the Pacific where the water is cold all year long, David.

I have caught lobster in the midriff islands, Isla los animas, while free diving in shallow water.... i got 2 bugs in one area... that was the only
lobster i have seen ever in that area. ... my thought was someone planted them there

Without opening books, I think the lobster in the Gulf of California is called a 'caribe'? It is different than the bugs on the Pacific side... and
neither are like the Atlantic ones which have claws!

Okay, I went to the books... and behold, an actual Baja Lobster Map! Three cheers for Mike McMahan! ('There It Is: Baja!', 1973). Looks like the upper
range is just south of L.A. Bay... on his map
Mike McMahan may be most famous for his Baja Wall Maps from the 1960's to 1980's...

Cortez lobsters do not trap or hoop and most are either netted or gigged or otherwise collected by divers.

Don't know about Gonzaga, but there are red spiny lobsters here in Bahia, and I have seen the black Caribe and slipper lobsters here also. Not real
plentiful but here non the less.

Pescador, why would they be more difficult to trap? Smarter set of bugs in the SOC?
