I would stop at the santa monica aquarium between 2 and 4PM one day, and speak with Jose, the aquarist, he'll tell you how easy it is to keep them, we have a few lobsters there. The aquarium is under the pier.
Keeping lobsters in an aquarium?

True. They will not normally come to your home unless they are following up on a tip, or have caught you at another location doing somthing you shouldn't or in possesion of somehing you should't have. Then they may make a visit for tea.PhotoTJ:
Last year, they conducted an investigation into a diver who was supplying a local hospital staff with lobsters, for a price. They checked his home freezer and found 60 bugs. License Plate making is a job skill isn't it?

I was pulled over by 2 DFG trucks last year in front of my driveway. They said they followed me all the way from the launch ramp, 17 miles away. They did a complete search of my boat, gear and truck.
They didn't go near of even ask about my house. After the search, and measurement of all game caught, they said, "have a nice day" and drove away.

Agreed.scubapro5:
The new boat limit law applies to lobster when there is an infraction. If my buddy pulls and keeps a short, "all people involved on the private boat will be cited". Straight from the nice DFG Pistol Packin man in Dana Point.
It would appear the good DFG officer is misinformed.whalerkyle:
The DFG regulations Title 14, Natual Resources Section 195(e)(3) says:
(3) All persons aboard a vessel may be cited where violations involving boat limits are found, including, but not limited to the following violations:
(so far DFG officer is correct except for the below)
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/mapregs5.html
The boat limit regulations defined in Section 195(e) do not apply to lobster - each diver/hoopnetter may only take his/her individual daily bag and possession limit.
So the provisions of paragraph (e) which would include subparagraph (e)(3) do not apply to lobster.
Not an attorney or other authority. But the written regulation is quite clear, boat limits do NOT apply to lobster, and that includes the section on citing everyone on the boat if one bug is found short.
Just my $0.02. Don't mean its right.

Everyone send me $10, and Ill try it tonight and see if all 5 peeps on my boat get cited. That would be a sick joke to play.

Riiiggggghhhht, you do that. Now, don't get me wrong, the DFG may cite you, but they would IMHO be wrong and you would win in court on the whole boat getting cited. The regulation is clear black ink on white paper says boat limits do not apply to lobster.whalerkyle:
It is just like opening night at 9:00 PM Saturday night I had the US Coast Guard informe me the season did not open until 12:01 SUNDAY morning. WRONG! I told them that was incorrect informationi. That the season had started Saturday morning at 12:01 AM and advised them to check the DFG regulations, and I would be happy to provide them a copy if they needed it.
I don't know that much about the rules, but I do have salt water tanks. Non with lobster but if you need to know more about setting up a tank I would be glad to help.
