Re: Bermuda

It is the law to use a noose. Spears used to be allowed a number of years ago but that made it way to easy and populations began taking a hit. I think as long as you don't spear them your pretty much cool. I couple times, when lobsters have been crammed in tiny nooks in the hole, and impossible to get at, we'll shove a mop in the hole, mimicking an octopus, and set up a dive bag at the other entrance, and the lobsters would come flying out into the bag. Pretty cheap I know but pretty neat too.

As for the hogs, the legal min is 17 inches from the nose to the fork in the tail. Most of these hogs are around 30 inches in length. Average size is probably around 17 to 25 inches. They are a pretty easy fish to spear so taking small ones doesn't really say much so we mostly just go after big boys (unless you've invited a bunch of people over for a fish bbq and have an empty cooler).
