Recreational Spiny Lobster Report Card on Sale
California's 2022-2023 recreational spiny lobster season is set to kick off Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022, at 6 a.m., continuing through March 22, 2023.

A lobster report card is required for all persons fishing for lobster, and individuals 16 years or older must have a valid sport fishing license and ocean enhancement stamp. Hoop netters and divers must fill out the date, location and gear type just prior to fishing. When finished fishing, or when changing locations or gear type, you must immediately record the number of lobsters kept from that location and with that gear type.

Lobster report cards can be purchased online. Report cards cannot be printed at home, so the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) recommends allowing 15 days for the report card to arrive in the mail. Alternatively, lobster report cards can be purchased at participating sporting goods stores and other approved license sales agents.

If a fishery participant’s 2021-22 lobster report card data was not submitted, submitted after April 30, 2022, or was not received by CDFW, a $21.60 non-reporting fee will be assessed when purchasing a 2022-23 lobster report card. The non-reporting fee shall not be waived or refunded. Every lobster report cardholder is responsible for reporting every lobster report card they purchase by April 30 each season even if it becomes lost or stolen. In lieu of paying the non-reporting fee, 2021-22 lobster report cardholders have the option of sitting out the 2022-23 lobster season to avoid paying the nonrefundable fee.

Very excited....
