Sarcasm... Tony can you pull a quote from the DFG website to show what he did was illegal. Was what he quoted not out of the DFG book? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'd actually like to know what the law is.

I believe that booklet is an older print...that was done before the regulation was changed. The Lobster regs were reworked a few years ago to define the sizes and style of the hoop nets and I believe the reg about detailing was changed at that time...
Tony is right...do not de-tail your lobsters until you are home. Without a carapace there is no way for the DFW to determine if it's a legal bug!
Info in a booklet and info from the regulations is two different things...I'd trust the regs!
DFW wardens can stop you at anytime on or off the water. I've had them pull me over as I was leaving outside the parking lot on a public street.
Take the bugs home, de-tail them, and then throw the legs in the microwave and make popcorn lobster.
Taking photos of over limit and posting on a web board also isn't the brightest move. "All lobsters shall be measured immediately upon being brought to the surface of the water, and any undersize lobsters shall be released immediately into the water." No sense being over-limit just for a dumb photo.
WOW...I guess I better not kayak next to Tony anymore...since he's upsetting boaters...?

I think that pamphlet is the same one that is mailed to the hoop netters by the DFG each year, I wouldn't trust it.

Ah, okay. No sense in getting a ticket if it's not needed. Doesn't seem like a huge benefit to dispose of lobster heads at the launch ramp. I can see the the Perks of possibly filleting a couple big fish there if you don't own a dumpster, but lobster heads can't take up that much room. Benefit of the doubt was given to the OP by me in that I assumed he was not alone for the number of lobsters he had taken. If he was alone he obviously is over limit....

Q. How many hoop nets can I use on my boat?

A. According to CCR T14, Section 29.80(b) not more than 5 baited hoop nets may be fished by a person, not to exceed a total of 10 hoop nets fished from any vessel, regardless of how many people are aboard.

Q. How many hoop nets can I use while fishing from a public pier?

Q. May I tail my legally harvested lobsters while still at sea or at the boat launch ramp?

A. No. Spiny lobsters shall be kept in a whole, measurable condition, until being prepared for immediate consumption. Reference CCR T14, Section 29.90(e)
