Where is the Spiny Lobster Report Card required?
The Spiny Lobster Report Card is required to take spiny lobster in ocean waters. You must record the location, date and gear code before fishing. Each time you retain a lobster, you are required to record it in the appropriate location on the card. When you move to a new location or change gear types you must record the new location, gear code and the date on the next line of the report card and continue to record each lobster caught. If you complete all the lines on the report card, you must return the card to the DFG before purchasing another Spiny Lobster Report Card. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the report card as it will be used to collect data for fisheries management and to enforce bag limits.
