Firediver32:
RI and MA are resident only (EDIT: except for what Mello-yellow said below). I believe CT is the same. NH and ME don't allow lobstering on scuba at all.
MA has non-resident licenses, but to get one you must own at least $5,000 worth of property in Massachusetts. Ironically, New York State does allow non-resident licenses -- they just cost more, -- and you are already a resident! Looks like your best bet is to get a NY lobstering license, take a trip to Long Island, and dive for lobsters there.
Or I could sell you my tool shed for $5,000

I wonder what property $5000 would get you in MA? I think even a tool shed would cost more than that if there is any land under it.....
OP
Ya know, I never gave long island a thought..... I wonder if there is any good lobster hunting there?
get lobster all the time out on the wrecks on the south shore...Firediver32:
get more in LI sound on wrecks and rocky structures..need ny license ..In NJ I am not sure but you may not need a license there..
OP
Is there a season, or better time of the year that is best?
no season in ny..some weeks better than others..just have to be there when its happening.
OP
I'll have to make this happen. Know any dive shops that do lobster trips?
