I am hoping that this season might be a good one so far two keeper since setting my pots this past July 4th I read where you can put seaweed or damp paper over them does that really works? last night I took home one had it in my cooler with sea water with the cooler cover open it didn't make it thru the night was trying to save it for tonights dinner but I am still gonna eat it..the same thing happen to the first one

I most likely died of lack of oxygen.
Next time just put it in the fridge

They won't stay alive in any water that is not airated
keep them as cold as you can yes seaweed or wet newspaper will help keep them cold overnight in fridge as said earlier just put them in a brown paper bag.

I usually put a layer of empty cans in the bottom of my cooler then put some ice in put the lobster on top of the ice and put a wet towel or newspaper over them and open the drain plug so that as the ice melts the water leaks out. I have kept some this way for two days.

hope this helps

Veggie drawer of the fridge!!! If you want to keep them in a cooler, as mentioned by others, ice then a damp towel or news papers, then the bugs. I ussually try to keep the drain plug on the cooler open and angled so any melting ice is drained off. I have driven 40 lobsters to Texas in mid july with out losing a one with this method.

soak them in hot butter, wear a bib, usually goes well with ice cold beer...oh you wanna keep them alive???????why????????LOL

The veg. crisper is the way to go. When I was a kid we always had lobster in the crisper. It is funny to see someone go get something out of the refridgerator that doesn't know the lobsters are there. They jump pretty high when the see something moving in there.

In the veg crisper with WET newspaper over the top to keep thier gills wet.

In a paper bag in the fridge works also.

put the lobsters UPSIDE DOWN on ice. they will last for a while had them last 5 days like this offshore fishing. once you flip them over they will move again do not leave them regular way on ice or they will die even if you drain the water.
