Three men from Homestead allegedly got an early start looking for lobster. Unfortunately for them, the Fish and Wildlife Commission officers also started early. Rafael Andino, 47, Abnel Flores Betancourt, 47, and Luis Rodriguez Vergel, 71, were apprehended at about 11 p.m. July 24, one hour before the official start of the lobster mini-season at midnight on July 25, on the bayside of Islamorada.
