Nighttime Lobster Charter | Bully-Netting

$650.00 USD

Starts at: 08:00 PM

Duration: 5 hours

This trip offers a special adventure crafted for those looking to catch lobsters at nighttime.

On this charter, we use a special technique called bully-netting for lobstering. This involves using a large net with a long handle to catch spiny lobsters.

As it gets dark, lobsters come out to feed, making it a great time to find them. We shine bright lights to spot the lobsters and carefully use the bully net to scoop them up.

This technique helps us catch lobsters efficiently while they are active and easier to find in the nighttime waters.

Join us and experience the excitement of bully-netting for spiny lobsters!
