Lobster Regs...

Did the new lobster size regs go into effect this year for the Cape? I have not heard anything since our discussion a few months ago so I figured I would inquire to those that are in the know.

Well they could be a bit more precise in their wording. This link says that the minimum is 3 3/8 in the "Southeastern Recreational Lobster Area", but the link to the map specifies "Outer Cape Cod" and "Southern New England" areas???

Yak,

Much appreciated, I was under the impression that starting this year the Cape area was going to have a maximum size like around the North shore.
