Unfortunate Situation on Galveston west end Pointe West

Came down for the week in Pointe West and busted my but down the stairs. Got a bunch of road rash on my arm. No more in the water for me.
Anyway I have two sets of crab traps on the bay side set in waist deep water. All floats have RSB60 and my phone number on them. Both sets on the bay side of Pointe West. They have been soaking for four days and I was going to reset them this morning. I will not be able to retrieve them. Bummer for me. I don’t want them to be abandoned and have crabs die. So 4 free traps available.
Damm I was. Looking forward to a crab appetizer tonight.
Shoot me a text or keep it on here.
Thanks guys

TCD setup

Hello, I’m taking a buddy of mine to TCD for his first time fishing. I really want him to land at least a good fish, I only have 4 light-medium rods, what’s the best set up I can do for him. I don’t have any surf rods sadly

Where’s the best place to go

Last week I went to Galveston to try catching trout and was only getting catfish. I was using dead shrimp. I thought where I was the problem as I was near the pleasure pier. Where the best place to go in this area?

Filet Knife

My boyfriend and I love to go fishing in Galveston and target the typical redfish, trout, flounder, etc. He has complaints when cleaning fish due to his dull filet knife. I would love to get him a new one, but I am not sure where to look for a reliable knife. He currently has a bubba blade and a cutco. Not sure if I should stick with those brands and just buy a fresh one or if anyone knew any reputable brands that they swear by. Any help/recommendations would be great!
