Mini season limits are 6 per person per day except in Palm Beach County which is 12 per person per day.
where does it mention no night captures?I'll be in the Keys both before and after mini-season ("so I got that going for me" ).
Is it true that night diving is verboten in Monroe county during the two day mini-season? Or just that its no-take? Reading the regs on MyFWC.com makes it seem like no night diving at all those two days (er, or nights, or whatever...). If so, how far out would that apply?
It's my religious holiday. I never miss it. But then, I know where to go and when to go to beat the crowds. Nope, not tellin' either!
And I don't go to Monroe County either. Why go all the way down there for 12 bugs when I can stay up here in Broward and catch 24?
MyFWC.com Lobster Informationwhere does it mention no night captures?
Bold for emphasis.The spiny lobster sport season will fall on July 30th and 31st for 2008. The bag limits are 6 per person per day for Monroe County and Biscayne National Park, and 12 per person per day for the rest of Florida. The possession limit on the water is equal to the daily bag limit, and off the water is equal to the daily bag limit on the first day, and double the daily bag limit on the second day. Possession limits are enforced on and off the water. Spiny lobster has a minimum size limit that must be larger than 3" carapace, measured in the water. A reminder that possession and use of a measuring device is required at all times, and night diving is prohibited in Monroe County (only during the sport season). A recreational saltwater license and a crawfish permit are needed for harvest. Regular spiny lobster season is August 6 through March 31. The bag limit is 6 per person per day. Harvest of lobster is prohibited in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park during the sport season. Harvest is also prohibited during both the 2-day sport season and regular season in Everglades National Park, Dry Tortugas National Park, and no take areas in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Nope, mini season limits are 6 per person per day in Monroe County and 12 per person per day everywhere else in Florida.
