Lobster Mini Season

( Reviews)

Trip Highlights

Description

Lobster Mini Season is the last Wednesday and Thursday of July every year. It used to be for the locals only and has become two days where the public can get out there and catch their lobsters before the commercial season begins.

Usually this means the lobsters are plentiful and catching ones “limit” is fairly easy.

Why choose this charter?

Lobster mini season is a local favorite.  Although it was designed for the locals it has since turned into a public venture.  It’s a great time to make sure you get your hands on plenty of fresh caught lobsters before the commercial companies get out there and set their traps.  It’s highly recommended to do this at least once in your lifetime!
