LOBSTER LESSONS


Where Do Lobsters Hide?

Lobsters move during the night and camp out in hiding spots during the daytime. This is why there are two different types of lobster hunting, bully netting and diving. Bully netting is used at night while the lobsters are out in the open on the move and lobster hunters dive for them during the day while they are sitting still in hiding.

If you are hunting lobsters during the daytime there are a few places that you are most likely to find the bugs. Lobsters like to back into small dark locations such as under rocks, in holes on the seas floor, under coral, or into man-made "casitas". It is legal to take lobster from any natural places but it is not legal to take them from man-made objects like barrels, lobster traps, cement blocks, etc. 


When looking for lobsters keep a sharp eye out for their two large antenna which are almost always protruding from their hiding place. This is the key to finding lobster on the ocean floor.
