Right now Lobsters are $3.99 a pound at Market basket. At that price it rivals live pogie prices I have heard quoted and you would have the receipt as proof you bought it/them. For 20 bucks you could go out with 4 1.25lbers.
I am guessing they are that cheap due to being soft shells -which must be good for both the hook placement and possibly the bass can sense it.
While everyone is throwing pencils or jigs in the next couple days maybe I will take out the 1209 and find a spot to freespool a lazy lobster.

Seriously though I really doubt its legal given the restrictions on taking them. Additionally I don’t think its legal to take them off the beach without a proper permit.

If nothing else $3.99 is so cheap - even if they are sofshells - making lobster rolls at home would be well worth it.
