Suggestions for new sites in MA and RI

Only RI residents may get a lobster license.

Non-residents can get a lobster license, but it's like $200 a year.

Rhode Islanders can night dive for them but you need a license. You need to be a resisent to get the license.

Hi, I grew up in Massachusetts but have been living in Southern California for 14 years. I have a question for you New Englander's about lobster hunting. In California we can take Spiny Lobsters from the end of Sept. to the end of March. They have to be a certain size and can only be taken by hand. The limit is 7 per day. You can get them during the day but they come out at night which is when we generally go.

I was talking to a guy out here from Newport, Rhode island who said that you can only take lobsters in New Endgland during the day. I found this hard to believe. Could someone please tell me what the rules are in New England for taking bugs. Thanks
Tim

No, you can get a non-resident lobster permit in RI, but it's over $200 a year.
