Lobsters
9:21 pm, est time
- Have to wake at at least 4:00am tomorrow. I dive at first light. Lobster season opens tomorrow for two days. My father and I plan to catch some (I'm not getting my hopes up).
We will be diving with a friend of my father's. There will be six air tanks altogether to use giving each of us two tanks each.
The time that each tank gives us varies with the depth at which we're diving. It's estimated we'll be at average 30-60 feet, 300 yards from shore. I'm guessing I'll get an hour out of each tank.
Now the lobsters we're trying to catch aren't the ones with large claws like the ones you usually see (those types are from Maine) The lobbies we're aiming for are Florida lobsters (We live in Florida if you haven't guessed).
These lobbies don't have large claws but only a lot of spines. If you grab it and their tail starts working they can bolt away at about 60 mph. If your hand is connected to it at that time you can get a spine up your hand, That's the main thing I'm worried about. (we have gloves but it only gives us the feeling of security. The type of gloves we have won't do much.
I'll try and post again this morning.
