Re: newbie need info
http://myfwc.com/docs/RulesRegulations/ ... sChart.pdf Here is a link to FWC so you know how many you can keep. Get a topo. chart and find the reef. You will find them in holes on the reef so a dive light is a good idea also. Don't be in a big hurry to stick your hand in. Lobsters aren't the only thing you may find. Last watch the current. It can be ripping at times and in a 4 knot current you can end up a mile from where you entered in 15 min. I hope you aren't going to try this alone as that is never a good idea. Good Luck

sorry dude I thought you ment scuba. No you don't have to be certified to free diveNature Boy wrote:i have to be certified to free dive ? if thats the case than i am not but would go for the certification, in any case the third reef i have herd is a bit more deeper than 16 feet of water around 60 feet but i might be wrong, and yeah i would seek other buddies to dive with me sure i am not a whimp but am sure smart enough.
have any others on this board have sucess with lobsters ?

Ya that third reef is no deeper than 20ft. Its a long swim out, but you should do fine there. Lobsters are a little scarce this time of year and if you want some you gotta go and get emm now, since season closes on Arpil 1st.

Don't forget your fishing license with lobster stamp.
Stick to the first reef if it is your first time, the ocean is a little different than a swimming pool. You can find lobsters there occasionally, and can get a good feel of the ocean.
Make sure you have a dive flag too.
