Set out 7 pots yet again in my pretty normal area. made 3 pulls approx 24 hours apart. My luck is not improving but consistent. Caught a total of 56 crabs with 24 keepers. I also caught 6 stone crabs- none with a legal sized claw- some missing both :( . The surprise was this time I caught 8 flounder in the pots ( 3 ) would have been legal sized keepers if the season were open.  Caught lots of small croakers in the sound- kept around 25-30 for some neighbors and cleaned them up. Also dug up around 5-6 dozen clams. Good time in spite of the storms.

Thanks for the report Sax, nice catch on the crabs. Did you catch the croakers in the pots or hook & line?

Thanks, Greg

Hook and line Greg - most on shrimp but several on gulp bloodworms. Also had 1 small black drum and 2 spots and too many to count Pin fish- made crab bait out of those .

Thanks for sharing the report and glad to see at least your catch is trending in the right direction.   

Best,
