Temps Drop yet Crab are Active

The whole SCK's crew is enjoying the luxury of having room to work aboard Dirt Claw'd. The engine is still surging at higher RPM's but runs beautifully at lower RPM's. I suspect we are loosing pressure at the fuel pump. Which is an expensive repair. Par for the course with this engine. However we are able to maneuver around the pots and get the job done. 

The water temperatures have dropped to the mid 70's and the crab are still active. Last time we checked pots, we had mostly big males. Yesterday, we pulled mostly females. Quite odd, but interesting.

At present, our pots are now split between the south end of the Charleston Harbor Marine at Patriot's Point and across the harbor off the Battery at the Coast Guard Station.  

FYI - You know you are dirty when you feel the need to scrub your clothes with the deck brush. Research is a dirty job but somebody has to do it! Well actually ... better these kids than me. I stay where it is clean and dry !
