Want was the general area? Right now the lower bay is full of sharks and stingrays. The lower bay is the worlds largest nursery for Sandbar sharks. However I have never heard of one tearin up a crab pot. I would bet on a boat. The boat could have wound the rope and pulled the pot into the prop. Then the captain unwound the line and dropped the pot. Been there done that just yesterday. Was yakkin with me mate and backed over one of my own pots.

What are black crappie? White perch? If they are white perch is the pot near structure? Pier rocks etc. If so move it just a little further away.

Huh always thought they were fresh water fish. I used to fish for them years ago at Loch Raven. Good eating! Never seen one on this side of the bay.

Yesterday, in Curtis Creek, we're catching some real nice crabs while my son's flipping grass shrimp with his ultra light rod along the beached barges. He caught a mess of jumbo perch, some small stripers/blues, and two of the biggest sunfish I've ever seen. Bright orange bellies. What the heck they were doing in this section of water I don't know. Water was brackish, leaning toward slightly salty. Strange place for sunfish...
