NewzAnnual lobster mini season begins on Wednesday at midnight. It’s a two-day event that draws out tourists and locals alike to Florida’s waters for some spiny lobster fishing. While catching spiny lobster is fair game in most areas, those participating must have the proper license and permit, and there are strict rules that must be followed.
There is a daily limit of 12 lobsters per person everywhere except at Biscayne National Park and in Monroe County, where the maximum is six lobsters. The carapace, or upper shell, of the lobster must be bigger than three inches measured in the water, and it’s not permitted to harvest any egg-bearing lobsters.This year’s lobster mini season runs through the end of Thursday.For more information on the rules for lobster mini season, check out the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission official page on spiny lobster. .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:8px; } .l10-body{ max-width:740px; margin:0 auto; padding:0 16px 18px; } .l10-sub{ margin:12px 0 10px; font-size:.95rem; color:var(--text-dark); font-weight:500; text-align:center; } .l10-grid{ display:grid; grid-template-columns:1fr; gap:12px; } @media (min-width:600px){ .l10-grid{ grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr); } } .nb-btn{ display:grid; place-items:center; text-align:center; line-height:1; width:100%; min-height:48px; padding:10px; border-radius:8px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:.95rem; background:linear-gradient(180deg,var(--blue-light),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); box-shadow:0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.15); transition:background .15s ease, transform .1s ease, box-shadow .15s ease; } .nb-btn:hover, .nb-btn:focus…
