Gilligan often catches lobsters for lunch (or for whatever).
Aren't they on a tropical island which means warm water and don't lobsters want cold water?

Not all lobsters are cold water. Many species live in warm tropical waters. For example: the Florida spiny lobster is very popular in South Florida and the Florida Keys.

I didn't know that either. Learn something new almost every day.

"almost" is true. I didn't learn anything on Sep 8, 2016

Yeah, but that was a slow day overall.

This could still be a plot hole. Just because lobsters can found off the coast in Florida doesn't mean they are in the waters near Hawaii. Probably be best to consult with a person with expertise in lobsters to better answer the question

A friend of mine was stationed in Guantanamo. Said you could get lobster there almost every day casting nets right from the beach.
