C'mon....someone must have the regional start times as per the government.

Speaking of Langosta, it's crazy how much Puerto Nuevo has changed over the past 3-4 years. Once a bustling tourist mecca, now a semi ghost town. I
used to go to Chelas once a month and last time I went I was the only person in there. Parking meters were installed, and like everything in Mexico,
never actually used and now in disrepair.

The parking meters were deemed illegal before they were activated. We took a friend from Monterrey there a few weeks ago and had a good meal although
we were pretty much alone in the place. It was on his list of "must see" places when he got here and he was not disappointed. We were sad for PN
because we know it's real potential and it was so close to being there when everything went bad for Baja. Many less places competing for business-
my two favorite shops for "s" were gone. We didn't get approached for drugs and if you eat first and carry a "doggie-bag" while walking around- then
menu pimps leave you alone.

Per Wikipedia:
In Mexico, spiny lobsters are an important commercial resource, representing the fifth most valuable fishery, worth US$18 million. Three species are
exploited along the Pacific coast of the Baja California peninsula, but the catch of 744 t of the California spiny lobster makes up 95%–97% of the
total, with only small quantities of Panulirus inflatus and Panulirus gracilis.[14] The fishing rights are held by 26 local co-operatives.[7]
The main legal restrictions on fishing for California spiny lobster in Mexico are a minimum landing size of 82.5 mm (3.25 in), the prohibition of
catching berried females, and a closed season:[7] from February 16 to November 15, fishing for spiny lobsters is prohibited in a region which moves
south along Mexico's Pacific coast during the season.[19]

3.25 inches....that can't be right. I prefer shrimp that are larger than that.

That's the carapice length; from the ridge between the eyes/horns to the back (where the tail starts).
The tails are usually at least that long.
