Tautog and Lobster

Posted on February 16, 2013 by admin

We went out after tautog yesterday. It was gorgeous out there. We fished four different wrecks and caught some fish on each of them. On the first wreck of the morning, I was bringing up what I thought was a piece of the wreck. It turned out to be a lobster hanging onto my hook with its big claw. It had no intention of letting that food get away and held on until I swung it into the boat. We caught a total of 25 tatutog up to 10 pounds. We also caught a lot of small sea bass to about 15 inches long.

    It turned out that the lobster had to be set free. Virginia actually has lobster regulations with a closed season. I expect the divers knew this but I did not have a clue until looking it up: http://www.mrc.virginia.gov/regulations/fr110.shtm
