48 Hours To Tackle A Spiny Lobster
Think you can tackle this guy and win? Here's your chance to try. The two-day lobster mini season starts on Wednesday morning at 12:01 a.m. and ends exactly 48 hours later. We'll run down the rules for those of you who plan to dive in the Keys or elsewhere for lobster:
• You need a saltwater fishing license with a lobster stamp. If you don't have one already, you might want to get one. Now.
• No more than six lobsters per day per licensed harvester in Monroe County, no more than 12 per day elsewhere in Florida.
• No diving at night in Monroe County, and no diving within 300 feet of private property in the Keys.
• And there are a few prohibited zones: Biscayne Bay/Card Sound Spiny Lobster Sanctuary, the Everglades, the Dry Tortugas, and John Pennekamp State Park.
