This guy crawled into a peeler trap of mine today near the harbor. It blew my mind. [URL=http://s152.photobucket.com/user/baseballfire/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image.jpg.html]

What is the mass on the right side?
Cool catch!
Set the trap boys, we going to pass through them again!!
It was just a sea grape or something like that.

Either a tunicate (sea squirt) or a sponge. Just a hitch-hiker.

What are sea grapes? Saw a bunch of them yesterday on the Wando and had never seen them before. Popped one open and it looked like intestines of some sort inside. Caught an elusive branch fish and it had several on it.

Sea grapes is just what we always called them! They grow all over everything under the water. Seeing that lobster so far outta place got me thinking what kind of other weird things some of you guys might have seen around here that don’t belong.
Global climate change…:)…
Gotta say, this beats the juvenile snook.

Local Boy, Just having fun.

He was just a little guy. He was safely released after a few pictures. I did think about how delicious he would have been though!

That’s pretty crazy. I’ve never even seen an undersized lobster in Charleston waters. Finding one inshore is even more astonishing.
You haven’t checked that trap in 2 weeks?!? I put that lobster in there on April 1st. 
It ain’t no mystery…this beer’s history!
Looks like our water might be getting a little warmer …

Haha no I check those traps everyday! If not the peelers will shed in the trap and I won’t make any money. The water temp back there was 65 degrees when I caught him which seems a little low for a tropical species. He was really lethargic so I was wondering if he could have made it through the winter here or I he just showed up

Does the samfc know you did that?
They will create an mpa and catch limit before you know it!

The lobster larvae move into the marsh beginning in spring like gag larvae, guessing most do not know this (I didn’t!!). They are cool looking little dudes, start out clear!! I believe the aquarium has raised up at least one of the larvae brought to them and is on display. Always wondered what happened to them once they turned into juvies, guessing they migrate back offshore like most species that use the marsh as a nursery. Suprised they don’t get caught more often in crab traps! Cool catch by the way!
good call FC, i’ll add a bit too. the early larval form of a lobster is called a phyllosoma and looks kind of like a spider, and kind of like something from a bad dream:

i found a postlarval/juvenile one in the winter of 2011 at a pier in myrtle beach, it looked like a tiny, clear version of a full-size one but it was the size of a grass shrimp.
Barbawang, they had those same creatures on Cloverfield.
