Looking for spots to Lobster off of St. Johns, Flagler or Volusia coast?

[sappnasty]

Good afternoon all,

It seems that most won't divulge their lobster spots, but I will ask anyways. I am planning a trip to the Keys in August, but I really wanted to get out for the mini-season without having to drive 6-8 hours. Does anyone know of any spots that aren't too far offshore from St. Johns (St. Augustine), Flagler (Palm Coast) or Volusia (Daytona Beach)? I have never heard of any shore diving for them here like in the keys, so it seems you need a boat. My buddy James has offered up his boat for me to use during mini-season...just need spot info or hints at least. Or if anyone is going and wants a dive partner I am more than willing! Thanks.

I'm going to follow this thread, because I don't know of any shore diving at all up here and if there is I'd love to know about it.

I don't know of any shore diving either, but hopefully I can get some info from some people who lobster not far off shore, between 1-10 miles hopefully.

your lobster location there will be pretty sparse. You need to go further south. Look to Indian River, St Lucie and Martin counties.
and no...I won't divulge my spots either!

There are some artificial reefs in that area,I never dived them but some look like they are within your 10 mile limit.

Cool. I know a lot of the sites offshore are in Ned Loach's florida dive guide.
