    Crab Pots

    Ok I got my first crab pots this past weekend and did pretty good but I had a couple of questions. 1- Everything I read said to keep/cook them live so do they need to be live or can you keep them iced down good then cook? 2 ? Do most just boil them? Thanks for the help!

    T-Top Plastic Shield Question

    I have a 23 ft 2005 Sea Fox Center Console that I purchased used. It has snaps on the T-Top like there was a plastic wrap/shield on it and I am interested in getting one for the boat to help with the cooler wind when running around in the winter. Any idea where you buy one? Thanks

    Shark Meat Question

    Ok since the only thing that I can catch now at Hilton Head seems to be sharks which ones are the best for eating. Is there generally a size to stick with? I have always heard the larger ones were full of mercury but I don?t know. Do you just make small steaks out of them? Skin? Thanks

    GPS and a bottom finder

    I now have a Garmin 198C GPS and I am thinking about adding a good bottom finder (maybe a Garmin 400C). I don?t like switching back and forth between screens and it is small when you start splitting screens. Is it pretty common to have both or do you have a better idea. Thanks

    One battery or two

    My new boat (used 05 23 ft CC) has one battery. I like the idea of two. Should I use both or have a switch for the second one or leave it unhooked (but charged). Not sure how most do it. Thanks
