    rain's definitely a problem, cause w/ rain comes wind and waves which stirs up the sand and visibility goes to zero. you can barely see your hand in front of your face, plus you don't have the light form the sun.

    Lobster season is great!
    mini-season: July 30-31
    reg. season: August 6-March 31
    Make sure you get your permit, and don't dare take more than allowed. Marine Patrol WILL lock you up!

    Here's the rule and regs. link

    And he's not kidding either. I've seen ppl go to jail, their car, boat and trailer to the pound. If that wasnt enough, you have to pay a fine and pay to get your stuff(car,boat and trailer) out of the storage and pay for the time that they where IN storage. I got caught once with 3 undersized lobsters and I(we) had to pay $277.00 in fines and its a crimial offense, so its on my record. Can you believe that? A lobster has better protection than we do.

    The way the price of gas is, its not feasible to go into that business right now. In my case, this is how much it costs me to go out on my boat. My gas tank is about 104-108 gals, at $4.04/gal, thats a little over $400.00 just to fill it up. Plus food, drinks( around $50.00), plus toll($11.00), plus the marina($12.00), plus bait, if any($20.00). So, a total of $529.00(roughly) just to go out for a day. Of course, thats if the gas tank is empty. Luna

    I agree. $4.04/gal is pretty cheap if you fill up at a marina or dock. Sea Isle Marina is about $4.97 for unleaded and $6.03 for diesel.
