    I gave the Lobster a break for the 2019/2020 season since I hit them pretty hard in 2018/2019. But with a lack of Protein, and only three days left in the season, I figured it would be okay to catch a limit to keep the hunger at bay. I also wanted to take a look to see what kind of prospects we were going to have for the next season. Things look pretty good or at least better than the year before.

    I used to go lobstering with my family right off Big Pine Key in the early 80's when I was a kid. We used tickle sticks and nets to catch them. I remember having to measure them with some type of plastic measuring stick. If too short, you better throw them back or you could get in some serious trouble. I miss those days and would like to take my 15 year old son there so he can experience what I did. Also the coral reefs and fish are amazing!

  • @teeclectic5163
    @teeclectic5163 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Hey Steve, when removing the poop shoot line you should do exactly what you did in the vid except go through the anus instead. There is some connective tissue at the port and so if you go through the anus instead and pull out slowly after twisting it actually pulls out the whole line at once without it breaking in the middle and potentially contaminating the meat. You should try it next year. Nonetheless, great video as usual man! - love from LA, stay safe bud!

    • @alexcarter8807
      @alexcarter8807 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yep even with shrimp, pull it from the ass end and with a steady gentle pull you get the whole thing easily.

    • @jessejenkins6654
      @jessejenkins6654 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lmao brah Jupiter hasn’t been cool in a good 50 plus years. Only yuppies, transplants and yankees think Jupiter is still kool. You think Jupiter is kool now you should have fished it 50 years ago. I’m going to guess you are a transplant moved here 10 years ago and think to know it all about Jupiter. Well sorry to tell you brah you know jack shit. I’m 3rd generation Jupiter native a grandson of a pioneering family that has been in Jupiter over 115yrs. The waterways are dead full of fresh water tolerant fish ie snook. We don’t have 15 inch mangroves or school master or hog snapper or grouper or yellow tails or mutton snapper and many more fish in the water ways still. All them fish are offshore or gone not in the river like they used to be. Oh yeah and the light house and Catos bridge used to be full of live coral and rock as well all dead now. Yeah brah Jupiter is cool alright if your a rich shit bag that likes to window shop and use the river like a wet i95.
