The lobster people are invading. Piling in to loot, pillage, and plunder
for "mini season". Ugh. I bet half of them are sleeping in their cars or boats. A real economic boon.

Is this the one where they have to catch them by hand?
As in no traps, you have to dive for them? That seems like a weird thing to get all worked up over, but boy do they....

Yeah, that or bully netting. That's where you go at night, light up the
water, then lower the boom on them with a net in shallow water. The limit is 6 per person per day in the Keys, and it is easy to do on the first day. No commercial fishing allowed yet - the lobsters are fish in a barrel.
