Regarding Crab Pots All we can say about Crab Pots is that they are a salt water phenomem. Once you get to New York harbor and start venturing north,one encounters NO MORE POTS. On the Hudson River, the crab pots are replaced by floating debris of the wooden variety..sticks, small logs, big logs, branches, etc. They are not that troublesome though. Off the Hudson, we had far fewer encounters with even the wood debris. One will not get crab pots again until Mobile Bay. As we said, its a salt water thing. You know, if people quit eating those critters, there would be far far fewer pots. Boat Of Us
