Best Area to Catch lobsters in Ft. Lauderdale in Florida?

Question

Area to Catch alot of lobsters in Florida

Answer 1

There are not any lobsters in Florida.  There are longusta or spiny lobster.  A very closely related critters, but without the large claws.  There is no place in that area to find them.  They have been fished out.  You would have to go offshore a ways.  You can catch them in the Bahamas or the Keys.  However, you might get shot at in the Bahamas.  There are lots or laws and restrictions concerning longusta and you'll need a license.
