Honestly no one knows the answer, but some fisherman believes thats the lobster was running away from hurricanes to areas that where not being affected.
@@danerogreene2089 👍 right on looks like good fishing but I don't know what price you guys get. Was that normal volume or a really good day? Selling/possession of only tails is a big no no here in California along with spearing them.
@@andrewlove3686 that was not a normal volume, I guess it's about how much your prepare for the fishery which determines your outcome. Normally, I would say it varies day by day, average about 100tails.
@@connor3885 I am a licensed commerical fisherman so technically we do not have a self impose limit, but keep in mind we dont dive very long. For example this particular I may have dive for about 30-45minutes before returning to port.
@@pattimessenger6214 yes you are right, but here what we do is boil the lobster head and freeze them, then we remove the hard shell by cracking it with a hammer, trust me there is alot of meat in there!
Every spiny lobster at that spot was 6 inches plus. I agree I did not have a size apparatus on hand, if a tail looks undersize or close I did not harvest. I am a commerical fisherman and although it might have looked like over kill it was not.
Ive caught many spiny lobster in Florida...ive never seen them just hang in the open like that during the day, night yes. And what kind of hook were u using? No tickle stick.
I believe its because no one was really checking this area for a while and those lobster congregated after a recent storm. Will i didnt need a tickle stick because they where so out in the open, the harvest stick is something that we make locally.
Yea normally we would get a number one hook and attach it to a old Hawaiian spear cut to about 3ft in length. Just make sure that the lobsters are legal, thats one of the challenges with this method of harvesting. I do not hook a lobster unless im certain of his size.
