There are a few new recreational lobster harvest regulations for this 2017-18 season. In my own words here is my interpretation:
#1 The season has a new opening time. The lobster season will start at 6:00am on Saturday morning...that means the you CAN NOT DROP YOUR NETS BEFORE 6am...the season is almost 6 months long...what advantage is a few minutes going to get you? Besides a DFW ticket...!
#2 You must legibly write your DFW GO ID # on your floats...only 5 floats can have your GO # on them.
#3 Rhe DFW has reworded an old reg to read that you can now bring lobsters on board to measure them when hooping.
#4 Divers can now legally carry a speargun while diving for lobste.
