I've heard other stories further south where trying to catch your own bugs will put more than just your gear at risk. Luckily you can always buy them cheap from the locals and as long as you consume them before you travel it's perfectly legal.

Actually, if you purchase them from the co-op, for consumption there it is ok, but you could still be in trouble if you got them from a fisherman, as all lobster BELONG to the co-op. There are cops all over watching the fishermen to keep them from selling their lobsters to anyone except their co-op. Sad but true.
