Lost crab pot at possession?????

[dkhtr]

Had a great day crabbing possession yesterday (14 keepers for 4 of us). If you lost your pot we saw a bit of what we thought was trash on water, went over to pick it up and a couple seals popped up. As we got closer you could see the "trash" was actually buoys that the seals had chewed up. Looked to be more than a couple!!!!  Sorry bout your pots if you we're missing them!!

They don't just steal fish off your line? Now they chew crab pot buoys too? Dang furbags!

Hmmm.. buddy had a couple that he thought were stolen...

I lost one on opening day, I just assumed someone stole it. It was in an area with 3 others of mine and that was the only one that came up missing.

I have seen a lot of "stolen" pots drifting in 500+ feet of water.  If your buoy can float your pot the current can and will drag it off.

Boat propellers do a good job on the foam buoys as well

Yep the commercial crabbers find these "stolen" pots all winter long that get tangled up in their gear.

seen lots of guys going through a string of buoys at a fast speed, never understood why they would just bypass them vs driving through them
