The key is finding low profile ledges.

Some other key areas to look for lobster are the finger channels that act as funnels separating the ocean from the bank. Just be sure to time your dive to coincide with slack tide. In these channels you’ll find both rocky cuts and channels where the water has undercut the grassbeds, making ideal ledges for the lobster. The best way to locate which ledge to check is to watch your bottom machine as you go over the ledge, looking for at least two feet of relief between the grass and sand.

“There isn’t any more,” Drew Hughes burbled as he popped his snorkel out of his mouth. What a great way to start the morning. Nine keeper lobster in the boat, and the day was just beginning.
