This year the Mini Lobster Season is July 24-25, 2019 (last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday of July each year).
The daily bag limit is six per person for Monroe County and Biscayne National Park and twelve per person for rest of Florida and those possession limits are enforced on and off the water. The minimum size limit for the spiny lobster is determined by measuring the carapace, which must be larger than three inches and must be measured in the water. You need to own and use a measuring device at all times.
