Of the tide chart apps I have tried this is by far the best. It uses Google Maps to help you focus in on your desired location and allows you to save favorites for easy reference.

This is a necessary download for any lobster pirate who doesn't rely on a hookah, and still actually cares when slack tide is. Check it out at http://www.bluefinengineering.com/. There is also an ad-free version for $1.99.

LAST CHANCE

Regular Season Ends March 31st

Just a heads up that this is your last chance to go snag some crustaceans before the regular lobster season ends. You need to put that license to good use before it expires... not that I ever do. A classic example of do as I say not as I do. Anyways, happy hunting!

MONSTER LOBSTER

I Need A Bigger Net

A WHOPPING 15-pound crawfish (spiny lobster) was caught by fishermen and brought to The Tribune this week. Lllewelyn Fox proudly displays the lobster, which he said his son purchased on Potter's Cay dock. The Tribune

Now that is what I call a lobster! If I knew any better I might think that guy's holding the ghost lobster. I mean let's be honest, if I saw that bug hanging out under a coral-head I would probably shit myself. There's no doubt in my mind that beast would win a fight between me and him. I have a hard enough time holding onto a short while I'm trying to measure it, never mind a lobster bigger than me.
