(WSVN) - The two-day “Lobster Mini Season” frenzy kicks off in South Florida on Wednesday.
The daily bag limit is 12 per person, except in Monroe County and Biscayne National Park, where the limit is six. Also prohibited in Monroe County is night diving.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation, the carapace length must be larger than three inches when measured in the water.
A recreational saltwater fishing license and a spiny lobster permit are required to participate.
The highly anticipated annual event gives recreational users a short season to catch lobsters before traps are deployed for the start of the commercial season.
The regular lobster season will begin Aug. 6.
