    Well, i've never tasted it at all in my life (same with crab as well)...so i'm not really that bothered as to whether i'm missing out on anything. Plus it probably tastes like chicken

    Down here, we have the spiny lobster...on one of my AOW dives, my instructor found one under a reef and tried to coax it out...he thinks it must have been about 2/3 foot in length !!!!

    Thankfully they come out to feed at night. But ace are the going to have a gauge with two markers on it or is it not finalized yet? Do you know what the max and min size will be assuming you measure the carapius/body(sp?)

    I don't know what they actual sizes are going to be, they usually post a page with the limits at the begining of the year. As soon as I know I will let everyone else know.

    As far as gauges go, we have never had them in NJ. Kind of strange if you ask me. So you don't have to have one on you while looking for bugs. Now that being said, I see that all sizes are usually brought up, then measured on the boat. They get tossed back if they are too small. I don't know if this is a bad thing to do or not, but it is what happens.



    Now Lottie, DON'T EVER EAT CRAB OR LOBSTER


    MORE FOR ME!!!!

    I tried a red filter on my lights. Don't bother. If anything, it makes them more skittish.

    Thanks photoTJ my buddy rigged up one from a tail light for a few bucks so thought I might give it a try. I think they don't like led light it's too bright white that's why I still use a halogen light which seems to have a yellow tint.

    amtrosie rubber?? It must have been too big or cooked too long. But like you said more for us.
