FLORIDA -- On Sunday, May 28, 2017 at Fiesta Key near mile marker 70, a Miami man was arrested on multiple lobster violations. The FWC charged Aramis Barcelo, 36, with possession of 12 wrung lobster tails on the water, all undersized and out of season. Barcelo faces 36 misdemeanor counts.

Hopefully he'll have to forfeit his boat as well as it was used in the commission of a crime.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement - Wrung Lobster Tails
Spiny lobster must be taken to shore in whole condition. Separating the tail from the body is prohibited while on state waters.

Spiny lobster may be harvested recreationally during the July 25-26 sport season and during the regular season, which starts Aug. 6. Make sure to “know before you go.” Spiny lobster may not be harvested in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park during the sport season and in Everglades National Park, Dry Tortugas National Park and no-take areas in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary during both the 2-day sport season and the regular season.
