Freediving for Lobsters in the UK - 2022 catch and fails

I have put together this video of my 2022 catch and fails so far. I have had some great outings freediving for lobsters in the UK and I have even managed a few for the BBQ. I have caught a lot of lobsters this year that have either been undersize or they have had a soft shell so I have not had many keepers. However, it is just great to see such a healthy population of crustaceans out in our local waters.

    Good video. If fishermans did know about that spot- they will just drop some lobster pots and none would be left.

    Thanks for watching 👍🏼 It could happen, luckily we have a healthy population of lobster here right now. However, always mindful on conservation.

    Nice video mate - I've subscribed and will look out for more when you post! Just getting into freediving for lobsters myself in Scotland after beach combing proving a bit fruitless. Any tips appreciated!

    Thanks for the sub 👍🏼 For beach foraging try and pick the big spring tides as you’ll have most luck then. I also find nightime is best for foraging but obviously that comes with extra safety precautions. Freediving wise, it’s just a case of getting a good handful of marks so you have choice in most conditions 😉👍🏼

    Enjoyed that. I’m hoping to do this at some point. Had 2 unsuccessful trips so far 😊. Think choosing the spot to will take experience. You looked about 10m there? Or so?

    Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍🏼 the unsuccessful trips are certainly more common the the success ones 😂 but it’s all good experience and time in the water. The majority of these are near high tide at about 6m. I prefer diving the higher tides as there is less current at the bottom with a bit more water. Cheers

    As a general rule you can’t take a female lobster that has eggs. Some females also have V notches and you can’t take those either. Landing size varies depending on location but normally it is around 87mm carapace so I would check the local laws first. The bigger lobster generally don’t taste as nice so personally I would stick around the 90cm carapace size to be above the limit/best taste 👍🏼
