Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
Thanks to everyone that made recommendations. We have been here a week and a half and everything has been great. We limited out both days before noon. Here is a video of us diving 7 Mile Bridge. No editing, so its long. Feel free to jump around.

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
Would you think that even in late August the 7 mile bridge would hold a decent amount of lobster?

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
We got another limit on the 7 Mile today. I think it will hold some at the end of the summer. It may be harder to get since all the commercial guys are out in full force with their traps, but they should be there.

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
For sure, we have had a great time!! Not sure if we will come here again or back to the lower keys next year. We can get a house for a month what it cost us 2 weeks here in Marathon. It has been a great time and we leave on Saturday

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
Did you post a video of yourself taking more than 6 lobsters?

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
Sweet, thanks. I've only done lobstering once down there, and it was a little spot in 8 feet of water on the Gulf side near Channel Key.

I learned my lesson a long time ago about screwing around in the keys. FWC don't play around down there! |

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
Don't let FWC catch you underwater with more than your limit in your possession. That's a no-no.

Re: Marathon Diving and 7 Mile Lobstering
The FWC officer I asked about this a few years ago told me that it was fine to do it this way. He told me that bugs were considered possession once you leave the water and they understand that someone may have an accidental short while diving, but make sure you dont exit the water with one.
