LOBSTERING OUT SIDE MAINE STATE WATERS

[RLONGO]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF IT IS LEGAL OR NOT TO DIVE FOR LOBSTERS IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE 3 MILE STATE WATERS .LETS SAY AROUND THE ISL OF SHOALS.

THANKS

The Isle of Shoals IS in NH and Maine and therefore the 3 mile line is 3 miles past and around the Isles', but anyway I know you can't dive for lobsters in NH, not sure about Maine or Federal waters.

When they say 3 miles out, it means three miles out from ANY land, so you would have to be three miles past Isles of Shoals. Also, you are not allowed to lobster there. Zip down to Gloucester near Halibut point or Folly Cove and try your luck there, assuming you have a lobster license.
