Often you can see the lobster's antennas from the surface, but it's always a good idea to get down there and check even if you don't see any at first glance.

We knew there were a bunch of lobsters there because we had inspected the spot the day before, and were unable to catch them because the season had not started. Since we had seen so many the day before, we decided to wait until they left the spot and check for our selves. Sure enough, the spot was still packed with lobster. The other group just hadn't taken the time to really get down there and look for the hidden ones.
