Americans taking lobster in Mexico is not just "technically"
not allowed - its illegal.

Not trying to flame anyone or cause an uproar, but if you'd like others
to respect your waters, please do the same.

I've seen more lobster in one day at some of the spots in Baja
than others will see in their entire lives - yet I've never taken one.
I've offered up fish and cash - and only cash won out.

For some towns in Baja, this is their primary means of earning a living.

Give the same respect you'd like to receive. Besides, you don't want
risk ending up in a barrel of acid, do you?

Last year some poachers were coming up from Mag Bay and stealing lobsters from the La Bocana traps and the head of the fishing cooperative shot them dead in their boat.......he got a slap on the wrist and 7 months jail time. Lobster fishing is a 30 million dollar/year business in Baja and feeds a lot families in an other wise poor enviroment.
