A. According to Sections 29.80(a) and (b) of Title 14, California Code of Regulations, spiny lobsters may only be taken by hand or by hoop net. You cannot use any other devices to take or assist in taking lobster – this includes “tickle sticks” or other similar appliances used to coax a lobster from its hiding spot.
