Lobster Bully Netting

A lobster bully netting charter in Islamorada is a unique, hands-on adventure that gives you the chance to experience one of the Florida Keys’ most iconic seasonal traditions. These trips run during lobster season at night and are tide dependent. We need to go when the spiny Caribbean lobsters emerge from their hiding spots in the shallow flats, channels, and reef edges. Using specially designed bully nets and bright spot lights, we work quietly over shallow flats to corral lobsters gliding over the shallow flats, giving guests the thrill of catching their own fresh, legal-sized lobsters. These charters are as much about the experience as the catch. Guests will learn about local ecology, tidal patterns, and sustainable harvesting techniques. The shallow, calm waters make it an ideal outing for families, first-time anglers, or anyone looking for a hands-on adventure away from the open ocean. By the end of the trip, participants not only have the satisfaction of landing their own lobsters but also a memorable day exploring some of Islamorada’s most scenic and secluded backcountry waters.
