Man cited for illegal lobsters

A 44-year-old Omega, Georgia man was issued a mandatory notice to appear in court citation Friday after he was caught with undersized and over-the-limit lobsters.

Jay Bryant Youmans was cited for possessing seven undersized lobsters, possessing five over-the-limit lobsters and not possessing a measuring device.

Marine Deputy Willie Guerra was patrol near the Channel Five Bridge at Mile Marker 70.5 when he observed a diver, later identified as Youmans, in the water on the bayside.

Deputy Guerra contacted Youmans as he was exiting the water and inspected his catch, noting the violations.

Youmans said he lost his measuring device.

The lobster tails were returned to the water.
