POACHERS WERE POPPED trying to get a jump onspiny lobster season were caught fishing out a truckload.
Wildlife officers touring along the shore during their routine routes back at around 11 p.m. on Aug. 1 took notice of spotted lights and suspicious activity near Royal Palms Beach.
Four suspects donning wetsuits and diving gear were witnessed frog stroking it to shore with a sizeable amount of spiny lobsters.
Recreational and commercial spiny lobster season is forbidden until March.
The perps made several trips to shore and by 3 a.m. tried to take off. Officers met them and the seamen then tried their land legs to speed off. But they were quickly apprehended.
In total, the wildlife officers counted 236 spiny lobsters in the back of their pickup (210 of which were undersized).
They also determined that none of the shellfish bandits had fish licenses or requisite measuring devices.
What’s more even when lobster season is open, there is a cap of seven lobsters per person (and a minimum size of 3.5 inches measured from the rear edge of the eye socket to the rear edge of the body shell).
CDFW: Fortunately, most of the poached lobsters were still alive and were safely returned back into the ocean after a quick count and photographs for evidence. All four individuals were cited for multiple misdemeanor violations, including taking lobster during the closed season, possessing undersized lobster, commercialization without a license, no fishing license, no measuring device.

The SAR president noted that the destruction comes at a particularly sensitive time, with preparations underway for the upcoming celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Bolyard emphasized the urgency of restoring the site quickly to honor the legacy of Captain Lytle and this city’s roots.
