O.C. Lobster

Type: Ocean
Region: Eastern
Location: Ocean Pines

I had a most unusual catch in a crab pot off of my dock here today in Ocean Pines. Would you believe a lobster?

DNR RESPONSE via Steve Doctor, Fisheries Biologist Lobster in ocean city is rare. I have heard of a few coming from the inlet for skin divers, and very rare cases of them showing up in crabs pots. A few are caught out front near shore (<3 miles) each year by draggers, early and late in the year.
