Question: I know Cali regs forbid using any tools while taking spiny lobster - hands only.
But hoop netters are allowed to use bait.
So is there a rule against using bait to temp the bugs form under rocks when freediving?
We have some artificial rock piles here with tons of bugs, but they're no like reef ledges. The huge rocks form all kind of deep caverns, caves, and cracks which are far too deep to reach.
So you see a bunch of bugs, and they back away form the light. And there is absolutely no chance of reaching one. Even if you do, they just back away further.
Any reason why you can't toss some bait in front of the rock and just sit back and wait a while for them to come out?
