Is there a YD approved, satisfaction guaranteed way for catching lobsters?

with TNT and a long stick

She's far more vicious in that sort of situation

I *may* also be in trouble after entering this search into google using their network:

Sooooo a license makes it OK???

This kind of logic makes me cringe.

I have a piece of paper issued to me by someone who I paid for said piece of paper. So thats it, its official, I AM GOD...

Sorry i have as much right to the lobsters as the fisherman, I have rules to follow (on size and egg laden lobsters) that the fisherman don't have (their catchment method is indiscriminate and have you seen the tiny lobsters they have in Tesco????) and I am not allowed to sell for a profit so i don't grab 4-5 lobsters I just grab one.

There really is no issue unless your a person who is against the eating of sea food regardless of where it came from.

current by-laws for the fisheries are two lobbies per person with a minimum carapace lengt of xx millimeters. This length depends on which fishery controls what waters

Enticing lobsters out of holes...

wait above and behind the lobster and shine a torch infront of the hole. They are very inquisitive and often come out to see what its all about.

Dont go in after it with your hand as the claws can realy seriously hurt you.

Bagging a lobster.

Unferll goody bag

Put your arme up inside the goody bag

Transfer lobster from catching hand to bagging hand (still inside bag)

Pull bag over boddy of lobster.

Enough tree hugging now people, to get a lobby out of a hole without polluting or carrying a box of wine around, if you straighten a wire coathanger out apart from the hook then you can slip the hook either over or under the lobster and then slowly 'tease' it out the hole. It 'thinks' there is something behind it and wanders out. Like with crab, if you have your goodie bag inside out (like if you were picking a dog turd up with a carrier bag) and your hand inside, grab the lobby across its back as mentioned beofr eand turn the bag the right way out again, voila, hand out of bag, lobster in bag, result! Seems easy sat in my living room but try it at about 35/40m and it all seems a bit more difficult!
