I've wondered the same thing seeing lobsters poking out of rocks while diving in mexico. I was diving in areas that I imagine were no take areas though.

It is my understanding that any hunting you do needs to be all done with out tanks... A good place to take that question would be Spearboard Spearfishing Community - Powered by vBulletin
A lot of the lobster fishing may be controlled by local fishing cooperatives. You may not be able to legally take them. ... I can't think of how to find out.
When I was there, I was diving with the local cooperative representitive. I finally figured out that the local fishery was urchin, so I went for those. Something different. Something interesting. Pretty good. Urchin roe on Ritz crackers with lemon and ketchup ... and a good dose of tequila.
... They had been crab fishing before I dove. They take off one claw. I was down and all of a sudden, crabs are raining on me.
Enjoy the diving, seahunt

You are not allowed to take any Lobsters in Mexico what so ever... Mexico has some funny laws. This is one of them... Only Mexican citizens may take crustatians in Mexican waters... Good luck

"A fishing license allows to capture only fin fish. It does not allow to capture any other mollusks or crustaceans, and their capture by anyone is strictly prohibited. Totuava, turtles and marine mammals are under protection of the Ministry and may not be captured at any time."
