Step number 38, don't come to California. Sticks and nets are not allowed. You have to actually grab the bugs by hand here.

And the holes are deeper and the bugs faster. FL lobsters are slow.

"You don't hunt lobster for the lobster. You hunt lobster for the hunting.

I catch lobster about as cheaply as it can be caught (own all my own gear, borrow a boat, etc.). But it would still be cheaper for me to buy lobster at the super market. But waaaayyyy less fun"




True,

But it makes you feel like you're defraying some of the cost of diving...

For my 70th birthday the wife said I could do anything I wanted as long as she got to go along. I chose to charter a small dive boat/skipper for two days of lobster diving. Got four. Along with thee days of motel bills those were pretty expensive lobsters but we enjoyed the experience tremendously.

For sure. One of my happiest memories ever is when my brother used to own a house on one of the outer islands in BVI, and he used to rent it out to tourists.

One time a particularly wealthy tourist stayed with family and friends and left behind a couple of cases of premium champagne, which he said my brother could keep. So we got together a group of family and friends and we all headed up for the weekend. The divers all went diving, and as it happened we hit the motherload of lobsters. So that Saturday night we all absolutely gorged on fresh barbecued lobsters and champagne. You can't put a price on that. But if you could, it was more than we could afford!
