Lobstering in the Florida Keys

[FloridaKeyssuck]

Prior to making reservation for the Florida Keys for a lobstering trip click my you tube user name for some real horror stories….

[saintEmory]

Are you near shore to do this????

[mabarcomb3310]

That spot is amazing! I grew up in Islamorada and have only seen a spot like that twice in my life and both times I was real young. I hope you guard the numbers well. We moved to Marathon from Islamorada 3 years ago and still search every season for a good spot that we can visit when we have company down. Good on ya for having a sweet honey hole! :) And I’m always happy to hear that there are others out there who care enough about the population to count and measure. Thanks!

Enter THE MIAMI SPINY LOBSTER TOURNAMENT mini season 2011 ... $2000. cash & prizes ... It's not how many it's how BIG ... You could be the spiny lobster king for 2011. Do you have what it takes????

[SuperFunkyc]

These guys could have measured the lobsters once they got to the boat, so freaking chill to the people getting all bent out of shape about the measuring of the lobsters! Eveybody wants to be the lobster heroes.

[bb212345]

@diver787 Hey i was wondering was that the ocean or gulf side? also that must of been your best hole of the season cause i havent seen one single hole that packed for about 15 years in marathon!! haha thanks for the vids btw

[Prometheus666333]

I see at 0:47 your buddy has a dive knife. Do you know what kind he was using, and do you have any personal preferences yourself?

[diver787]

Most of us dive with Riffe knives, which that one is. But as far as a recommendation, I like pointed knives, forget the blunt ones, and try to find one that has a case without cheap plastic latches. Besides that, all of the blades are pretty much the same. There are also neopreme straps that you can get to fit around your leg.

[eadsj2]

Yup, no measuring, that's what we'll notice when we're down in the keys this summer when we see the carapace shells laying beside the holes, the lobsters were shorts, they didn't care & wrung them anyway. Ridiculous.

[hogwild6161]

Nice catch!!! How deep were you, i noticed you were just diving, no tanks involved.

Hell of a dinner!!!!

[guacacuda]

our lobsters in Puerto Rico have to be 3 inches and a half to be legal

[skatekind]

cool i just got back from the keys and found a cool cater boat sunken alot fish and lobsters

[SoFlaSpearo]

Geez...stacked hole



[Prometheus666333]

You're pretty good at holding your breath.

[bakeee]

whoa, how do you hold your breath for so long?

[roaddiablo]

Im so excited, this is my first time going down to the keys, an lobstering an stuff. My buddy an I are headed there tonight be arriving at 6am an going out. this is his 6th mini season an my first. your vid is pretty cool man thanks for sharing

[eadsj2]

How many were keepers and how many were shorts? It's people like you, who don't measure that keep the lobster numbers down. Follow the rules.

[diver787]

We follow the rules, 3" carapace 6/person... so don't tell me about the rules!!!. And next time you accuse someone of breaking the law make sure you can back it up because there is no reason to post comments that have no truth!

[jbm39]

@diver787 There's video you took for proof. Not once did you measure any of those lobster. I thought the same thing before I even read the comments. I see you know the rules, you just didn't follow them.

[diver787]

@jbm39 We measure all of your lobster in the water before they go into the sack and then again on the boat before we put them in the box. I dont know if you have ever noticed but not all of the gauges are 3" exactly so we measure them with two different ones to make sure. Also, I have been doing this for over 15 years and when you grab a lobster you can tell if its legal or not. Plus, I dont care if people measure them or not as long as they are legal!

[icesurf1761]

@eadsj2 F-off!! Its just a cool lobstering video. I grab a bunch in a sack then go up to see whats legal just like he did in the video! Peple like you need to be banashed from the keys. Lobster-Nazi, HA HA thats your nick name.

[NoPushSissa]

@eadsj2 yea fuck off you prick these guys are doing what they do legaly know ur shit dumbfuck

[Prometheus666333]

@eadsj2 There isn't a single continuous shot showing them catching a lobster and then bagging it without measuring. Every single time they catch them there is a cutaway and then the lobster goes into the bag. There is no evidence of them catching and then bagging without measuring whatsoever.

[AuroraLilyLauren]

i used to go with my dad to do this in the keys~

[hchik05]

niiice. at that pace ur gonna need more people aboard cuz ur gonna get your limit QUICK!

[ericklace]

[jman785]

The KEYS.

[x5xz2x]

how do u find like 10 lobster in like one spot please tell i got house in da keys

[cruizer8293]

HAHAHA you really think someone would tell you where a spot like that is, building your own spot is your best bet, just don't get caught or you'll go to jail

[pablowall]

how do u find a spot with 10 lobster? find a spot that no1 fishes regularly thats how. no1 will tell u where u can find 1 lol, those are well kept secrets

[jock33149]

once u guys start to get bored wit tickle sticks and nets use ur hands!! its a lot more fun and actually gives the lobster a chance haha

[NickGallardo520]

thats true all the tourist fukin wreck the spots with all there shit and i hate seeing that crap and where the basterds camp out theres trash all over there and that shit gets annoying really fast

[steware]

Ya, this is REALLY hard and no fun at all, everyone should stay home and far away from the Keys! Sharks LOVE tourists!

[Spankenstein99]

Yeah, most tourists rip up and damage all the coral cause they dont know what the fuck they are doing

[angus10456]

i do this out of a kayak.... nice grouper at :40

[co1binat3r]

yeahh i know it a little goliath

[jinxx51]

im 11 and when i went to key west FL i was in shallow water catching little blue crabs and i saw a lobster and i caught it with my hands

[huntersz9]

cool

[croke66]

when does this season come in at the keys ? man i wanna do this when i get down there.

[paw4014]

Just ended a couple weeks ago. Opens back the end of July.

[latinyank33]

do they got claws? why dont people just get them by their whiskers?

[garrettkotlarz]

no they dont..but they break them off like a lizard with their tail

[scubafever282828]

You get to use Sticks AND Nets? Boy in California all you get to use is your Hands!

[XxtictacfreshxX]

i know u probably wont tell where that one is but there is a rock just like that off of cheeca lodge and can you tell me if that is off cheeca or not because i went there last sunday and there were lobster but not that many

[diver787]

It's not that far north

[Spankenstein99]

the limit is 6 a day per person son

[JakeAndJared]

I know what spot you guys are at if it really is off of Marathon

[stainlesslobster]

Fifty a day? wtf thats why the regs are so stiff idiots like you poaching. The limit is 12 a day per person dumb ass.Probably destroyed the coral or pocketed it.F@#!@ing tourist.Hope you get kissed by a moray.I see that shit down there. And you'll go to jail.

[JakeAndJared]

notice he said friends, obviously something you don't have, it means there could be 5 of them so they could get 60 max so chill out.

[playwithmywii]

hey dumbass, in the keys it's 6 per person per day so know you're shit before u go calling other people stupid

[Arnovitz]

the best is when you tap them on the nose and they rush in the net

[AinakoaDiver]

using a net...wow...cant even catch em the real way

[XxtictacfreshxX]

shut up using a net isnt bad plus they caught some with there hands. nets i think are the funnest way to catch them plus you can get more that way. and YES i use my hands sometimes too.

[Bunkerd86]

That looks like fun!

[DeathAngel84299]

Holy shit, thats a lot o lobster! I went to the bahamas and where lucky to see 1 or two lobster per reef.

[atrujillo94]

Shit thats a lot of lobster

where in da keys is dat shit

so I can hit that shit up, jk

no but seriously thats a shit load

in that bag you had

[moretac8l37]

I like the guys expression when he first sees inside the rock, nice find, do you check that rock every season? Oh and i think you forgot to measure them, lol

[Korporalen]

hmm... Weird lobsters. Where are their claws?

Looks nothing like the Norwegian lobster. They're almost completely black, or a dark blue shade, and with big-ass claws :)

[CaliCal68]

thats why they are the spinky bugs...they are more sweater too

[playwithmywii]

nice. me and my friends go to Key Largo for mini season and regular season. mini season we got 50 each day. and the guy under me obviously knows nothing about lobstering. we dont 'destroy' anything!

[simpaticodiver]

Nicely done??? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many coral polyps these assholes probably destroyed?? This is why Key Largo locals hate mini-season... and all lobstering aroung the reef.

[coltsfan0890]

there ova the limit hahaha jk

[conbot921]
