Sounds like you have access to a boat. Most people will go on a dive boat that is on a hunting trip and talk to seasoned divers on how to catch them. If it looks barely legal its probably short. Carry a measuring tool and flashlight. Use heavy duty work gloves. Leather or rubber. Diving neopreme gloves are to soft. Urchens and bug tail spurs can go right through them. Remember the limit is 7. To do an overnighter at the islands and to get 2 limits the DFG needs paperwork filled out. Make quick grabs. It takes practice. If ones in a smaller hole that you can reach put a rock in the back door to stop his escape or block it with your other hand and scare it into that hand. There is almost always a back door. Dive rocky bottoms with structure. Sometimes there deep other times shallow. Front side af Cat. is not trapped and is good. Nick for the bigger ones. Good luck Eric
