Grab a dive buddy and get on out there tonight for the Opener! You don't have to SCUBA Dive if you don't want to, a lot of freedivers do great work finding Spiny Lobster right along the coast. Don't forget to have your current Fishing Licesnse, a Lobster report card & correct measuring gauge with you and all the proper diving and safety equipment. Always double check your gear, especially if it's been in the garage since last season opener! Have Fun, be Safe and don't miss out on our specials at Ocean Sports. We'll be open late tonight waiting for those first couple of divers to bring in the first live, legal CA Spiny Lobster to the shop wanting to collect their prizes!! Happy Bug Hunting!
