Peter Mondello’s Lobster Gauge

 Notie that Peter has a float attached to his lobster gauge?  I wonder how many get lost overboard without the float.

Lobster Gauge, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

This is how you measure a lobster from the Massachusetts Division of marine fisheries-
How to Measure a Lobster
Carapace length measured from rear of eye socket parallel to the center line of the bodyshell to the rear of the bodyshell. All lobsters measuring less than the minimum legal carapace length must be returned to the waters from which taken. All lobsters must be measured immediately.

    I used to help Peter build wooden lobster pots at his house on Mondello Square around the time his first kid was born.

  2. Hi Capt. Joe:

    Do you know who in Gloucester sells lobster gauges and tickle sticks?

    I just got a diving license for lobster (snorkeling, actually). Any pointers on how to catch them by hand in waters less than 10′ deep?

    Thanks,
