How do you catch lobster?

Equipment

- Lobster traps or pots

- Bait (such as fish scraps, squid, or clams)

- Rope

- Buoys

- Gloves

Instructions

1. Set up your traps. Lobster traps are typically made of wire mesh and have one or more openings that allow the lobsters to enter. Place the traps in areas where lobsters are known to frequent, such as near rocky outcrops or ledges. Bait the traps with fish scraps, squid, or clams.

2. Attach the traps to buoys. This will help you keep track of where your traps are located and make it easier to retrieve them.

3. Set traps and wait. Lobster traps can be left out for several hours or even overnight. The longer the traps are set out the greater the chance you have to catch lobsters.

4. Check your traps. Once you have set your traps, check them regularly to see if you have caught any lobsters. If you have caught any lobsters, remove them from the traps and place them in a cooler with ice.

5. Release any undersized lobsters. Lobsters must be at least the minimum legal size limit to keep. Check your local fishing regulations to find out the required size. If you catch any lobsters that are too small, release them back into the water unharmed.

Additional Tips
