Check my pots this past sunday. The lobstering has slowed for now but should pick up again as the water cools. I got a 1/2 dozen keepers plus the usual egger's and shorts.
The striper fishermen were out in full force looking for those last fish of the year. The canal has 14 miles of shoreline and it seemed there was a guy fishing every fifty feet. Good luck to the bass trying to make it through that gauntlet!
One lobster that I caught had a bad case of shell rot. A part of its carapiece was in particularly bad way. On closer examination I could see a whole colony of mussels growing inside the live animal! Those darn mussels WILL grow almost anywhere.

The shell rot only affects the shell, the tail and claws are fine to eat. It doesn't look pretty but the meat is fine. Fish markets usually cook and shuck the weak, the dying and the ugly, shell rot lobsters for OTC meat sales and keep the good looking,healthy ones for live sale.

The mussels were living right as it's shown in the pic.
