I'm familiar, or so i thought with the the Spiny lobster regulations in Florida. I was under the impression that the only regulated lobsters in the state where the Spiny Caribbean lobsters which is what we usually see down here. I was reading at FWC today and it seems the Spiny regulations are pretty general as in they include the entire Spiny family - Caribbean, Spotted, Smooth Tail. Can anyone clarify for me? Are all Spiny's regulated? In all the Spotted I have seen, rarely do they get above 3" for the carapace and 5" for the tail, plus they are near impossible to catch.
I know that Slipper's are not regulated, just can't spear or take egg bearing.
