what to do?
You're on the beach, good surge has pushed in lots of weed and flotsam to the high tide line. You see a short green lobster body missing it's claws in the mess..... Is the tail of the freshly dead lobster fair game to use as bait??????

Probably the best bait you can use, but they will throw the book at you if you're caught. I've never done it, but I've seen it done.....both the great fishing results and the poor results with the authorities.

With my luck I know what would happen shortly after throwing the lobster tail in the water attached to a hook at the end of my line. I need an emoticon here with handcuffs on. That would be my luck.  |

The motivation behind the law is to protect the lobster resource...If everyone picked up the near-dead lobsters that washed up after a big blow it would have zero impact on the fishery.
Yet from a strictly legal perspective, you are in violation.
But from a moral perspective - it's not going to make the negative collum when you show up at the pearly gates.

you clearly were not on this board when I put the post up about the DEM guy who waded out on the reef at BP to ask me what I was doing....at 2:00AM. They DO get out of their trucks.

If it was still alive?? ...hell yeah, it would either end up in a stripers/cunners stomach if the tide picked it up or a sea-gull shuffle if the tide was dropping....why not put it to good use?,,,for a little while anyways...
If it was dead,,, I'd sniff it out for freshness....any odor and I wouldn't waste my time, ..

 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
