Good info, Thanks!

My pleasure! I live in CT but fish FL quite a bit so I stay up to date via the newsletter I signed up for here http://myfwc.com/ from the FL Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.

   it makes a lot of hard work for the comm. crabbers ......it would be much simpler to have the crabbers place their pots in clusters instead of bringing them ashore.....any pot not in a cluster would be identified as abandoned .....99% of abandoned pots or stone crab traps belong to recs.

Great idea! Write the powers at be, but good luck with that. Lol

Just got an e mail from FWC.
Their ghost crab pot locate is complete.
Traps can go back in the water.
