When is Lobster Season in New England? What to Know about Lobster Season. Lobsters are harvested year-round in Maine and New Hampshire, however the majority are caught between late June and late December when the lobsters are the most active. Lobsters are also harvested during the winter and early spring months, but in smaller quantities. Regardless of the time of year, lobster fishing is easily the most active in the Gulf of Maine, which includes the Bay of Fundy and has the highest tidal variations on the planet, as well as cold, nutrient-rich water.

When is the best time of year to eat lobster? Lobsters shed their shells once a year and it makes a difference in the taste and texture of the meat. Shedding generally occurs anytime between June and October - whenever the lobster has outgrown its current shell. Normally, you won't see shedders or soft-shelled lobsters far from where they were harvested.
