Surf City still fighting the King Tides Oct 18-21, 2023

Set out 7 pots  and WOW is that water ever high. My normal places are 3-4 foot deeper than normal and with the oyster bars and little islands all under water I wasn't sure exactly where my pots were being set.
Anyway- I made 3 pulls Oct 19,20 and 21. Total crabs caught was 52 with 31 keepers. I did manage 9 stone crabs this time- I think I have 6 claws from those. I had a pot full of pin fish which became crab bait in 1 put, 1 small flounder, and 6 blowfish. Left the pots out while I came back home, headed back in the morning so that will be a 48 hour soak. About to call it quits for 2023 and get them oysters. Will report back late next week when I return back home. Will be mainly a fishing trip this time but will leave the pots in the water a few more days.
