Key Largo Spearing and Lobstering questions.
Alright so most of my keys spear experiences are marathon and south. But recently Ive been staying in Key Largo
Ive been trying to look up the zones, rules, and prohibitions for spearing (atlantic) and lobstering out of Key Largo. WAY too many pages and information to look over. What ive gotten is 3 miles offshore you are fine to spear and lobster? I dont want to get popped because of a rules misunderstanding. Also is there a good place to get a zone map? If it is 3 miles, WHY is it such a big deal? Thanks |

Here's a bump, hopefully you'll get an answer..
3 Miles is state waters, once you leave state waters you're in federal waters.. |

Re: Key Largo Spearing and Lobstering questions.
You can lobster in 3 miles in key largo but shoot out of 3 miles... I wouldn't recommend having shot fish on the boat while in 3 miles. But that's common sense. Good luck!

Re: Key Largo Spearing and Lobstering questions.
There is literally over 100 threads below yours that explain perfectly the regulations. Snook Slayer has put together a TON of information, and that alone should be enough. Please, do a quick search.
6 miles out if you're north of Tavernier key. 3 miles out if you're south of it all the way down to mile marker 69 I think (Long key). You get really restricted all the way up here, so you have to know what you're doing, and be careful. Pennekamp is a big no, which is everything north of Tavernier key, and 6 miles out, up until dade county I believe. Lobstering is pretty much anywhere not protected, but there are some restrictions that I don't really know or care about.
