Florida's spiny lobster season is one of the most exciting times of the year for divers, boaters, and coastal adventurers. From the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys to the Gulf Coast, thousands of people head out each year in search of one of Florida's most prized catches.

Whether you're preparing for mini season, planning your regular season trip, or simply love the coastal lifestyle, SALTYGROWN has the apparel to keep you looking great from the dock to the sandbar.

What Is a Florida Spiny Lobster?

Unlike the cold-water lobsters found in Maine, the Florida spiny lobster doesn't have large claws. Instead, it's recognized by its long antennae, colorful shell, and incredible flavor.

These lobsters live around:

• Coral reefs
• Rock ledges
• Bridges
• Mangrove shorelines
• Artificial reefs

They're one of Florida's most iconic marine species and a favorite among divers.

When Is Florida Spiny Lobster Season?

Florida offers two lobster seasons each year.

Mini Season

Mini season gives recreational divers the first opportunity to harvest lobsters before the regular season begins. It's one of the busiest boating weekends of the year in Florida.

Regular Season

The regular season allows recreational and commercial harvest throughout much of the year, giving everyone plenty of opportunities to enjoy one of Florida's favorite seafood traditions.

Always check the latest regulations from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) before heading out, as dates, bag limits, and local restrictions can change. https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/lobster/

Before leaving the dock, make sure you have:

• Dive mask
• Snorkel
• Fins
• Lobster gauge
• Tickle stick

• Dive flag
• Florida fishing license (when required)

Planning ahead helps make your day on the water safer and more enjoyable.
