Joe,
You are only allowed 10 pots max being recreational!
Without you having a boat, it will be next to impossible for you to do!
Like another person posted, 1 pot will be a whaste of time!
If you come up 10 pots , let me know, maybe I can help you out for a fee,
But to be honest, it will be cheaper for you to go to the market and buy the lobsters compared to the time and cost of doing your own pots! Not to mention the mess it makes of a boat!!!
Also, be prepared to loose pots Between boaters and fishermen getting lines caught up or commercial guys or poachers cutting lines !!!
I've done it in the past and still have some gear needed!

Get 4 pots and some old telephone wire a long pole with a hook and a cooler and hit the canal at low tide, set them out and check them in a couple days at low tide. Yes you will get thieves steal your lobsters because it is just as easy for them to acess the area as you, however with no boat this would be your best option. You will get lobsters when I worked the RR bridge I used to set out 2 traps and when we had a 3 day weekend and expected family down I would bait the pots heavy and it would always come through for me.

Yes, you need to wait out there all night for the lobsters to show. Traps fish better if you wait with them  |
