Don’t let the Bugs out of the bag this Lobster season! Celebrating the chaotic and clumsy but course of choosing to crank the cocaine of crustaceans out of cracks. The humble bag, or net, or even.. Sack!? Must never be forgotten, in order to maximise one’s yield and fill the state governed, er, bag limit. Lobsters are one of the most universally sought after delicacies of the deep. In most parts of the sporting world they must be acquired by using one’s own hand, gloved or otherwise. The Bug Out Bag clothing line was inspired by the Spiny Rock Lobsters of the world but more so the Southern Rock Lobster of Victoria and the southern waters of Australia. Being caught and harvested by the literal “sugar bag” load throughout the turn of the 20th century to become the most valuable fisheries of the nation! This disproportionate value saw the recreational fishers, the divers and spearos of Victoria carry the burden of a valuable and globalised fishery, requiring tagging and submitting citizen science-esque reports of their catch.
