Mark, please do a little research before you make statements that will result in some poor diver losing all there gear & get hit with a hefty fine. In NY (i forget the rules in NJ) you must have a lobster permit. most of the dive boats have commercial permits which allows for a max of 50 bugs per day. a non commercial permit allows you to take 6. the size has been going up each year so you need to check with the NAYS Fisheries to know what is good this year. dive on & on hank In a message dated 97-01-16 10:02:23 EST, you write: << Subj: Re: Lobster Divers Date: 97-01-16 10:02:23 EST From: SUBMERGE@wo*.at*.ne* (Mark Melendez) Reply-to: SUBMRGE@wo*.at*.ne* To: roger@ph*.mc*.ca* (Roger Lacasse) CC: wreckdiver@wreckdiver.com In NY and NJ divers do not need a permit and can take lobsters any time but they must be of a minimun size. New England states are different, In Mass. divers need to have a permit and the number needs to be displayed on the SCUBA tank. Lobsters can only be taken during the day. And (I think) there might even be a "lobster season". Maybe someone on this list can verify that. Mark Roger Lacasse wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > lobster diving allways puzzled me.
