Well, a note of advice...
Lobster are likely to be in shallower water in the winter because the water temps cool off. As they warm up in the summer and as the breeding season approaches the bugs go on the move. I'm not saying your spot won't still be stocked full, but it might not be.

lol hahahahaha!!!
so it's not worth putting up with him for 2 days huh...that's funny!
how did you do last year?
I read for hours and hours how to catch lobsters, and a really nice guy from Miami should be on the end of the second day...He gave me a 2 minute crash course underwater...and I learned more from him than I did reading all those hours... I can't wait for mini-season and I feel very confident!

Everyone loves going diving for lobster!! Everyone hates buying them!! Funny thing is, by the time you drive(or fly) to South Florida-rent a boat or charter one-fill tanks-hotel for the thime you are there-etc.etc. You spend about 10 times what you could have bought them for!! But I still dive for them too, can't make myself buy them at the store.
Always cracks me up to see the craziness generated by the mini-season here in FL. The fact is, two weeks after the 2 day mini-seasons closes, the regular season opens again and runs from August to March.
That being said, the last couple years I have setup custom charters for mini-season here in Fort Lauderdale and have sold them out with a problem. People have no problem taking off from work mid-week to dive in and catch the most expensive "free" lobster dinner they will ever enjoy.
However, I must confess and concur with a couple other posts, I can't bear the thought of actually paying for lobster in restaurant anymore, it just seems so wrong.
