The Lobster Season Know-How’s

Lobsters are best hunted and fished for during the lobster season. Since lobsters love the warm weather, the lobster season is usually around warm seasons.

If one wants to dive for lobsters during the lobster season, one must note that during the beginning of the season, lobsters tend to be in shallow waters, between 10 to 40 feet. As winter storms come, lobsters go deeper around 60 feet to 100 feet to seek refuge. Another reason why they swim that deep is so that they can avoid the stormy weather that is caused by the winter season. This is why lobsters are hard to find during the winter or cold season. Once the winter season is beginning to end, lobsters eventually swim back to the surface.

Most of the time, lobster seasons happen repeatedly during the entire year except when the weather is freezing. Lobster seasons don’t have a fixed start date but it usually begins during the first Wednesday of October and it can last until the first Wednesday after the 15th of May. There are other factors that may affect the start and end of a lobster season. Usually in warm places, the lobster season is from a month before the spring to a month after winter. Another thing that may affect the start and end of the lobster season is the type of lobster present in a particular place. Even though spiny lobsters can be bought all year long, shell lobsters and American lobsters tell a different story since the shell lobster season is around July to October and the American lobster is abundant during March to December. Unless the area that you’re planning to go lobster fishing is self-managed, you’ll be able to catch lobsters at any given time.
