Heck of a camo job on that skiff,what you call that color scheme?
It’s called worked hard green. It’ll get a freshening up before oyster season
In all honesty about the crabs, I would like to see some major changes on the crabbing laws. First and foremost would be a moratorium on peeler crabs for three years, you can’t keep taking all the breeding females and expect the population to survive. Second I would like to see a halt to all out-of-state crab licenses and make it limited entry for state residents. If you cannot show a W-2 that has crabbing you lose your license. Another option would be a no take on female crabs, Male crabs only.
I’ve also started talking with different game wardens about getting legislation changed for commercial crabbers that if you touch another man’s commercial gear it is a lifetime ban if you were caught stealing crabs or traps. Right now the laws are too lax in the fines too small so the same criminals keep stealing from the legitimate crabbers with little worried that they will get caught or prosecuted, ask Penny how many traps her dad has lost.
And colon blow, if you need crabs PM me I’ll make you a good deal

I like these ideas Paul. Especially prohibiting out of state crabbers.

I agree with Sellsfish on all points.

I wonder how many of the experts in this thread have actually tried catching crabs with a handline recently? I also hope the original poster was trolling and ended up with a bushel of this sites “finest”.

No crab trap or pot may be set within 200
yards of a public boat landing or launching
area or set so as to be left dry at low tide.
DIRECTLY FROM THE DNR WEBSITE! i DON’T HAVE TIME TO READ EVERY POST PREVIOUS. THIS IS WHAT I POSTED IN THE SHRIMPING SECTION THIS MORNING!
I take crab pots with me when I go shrimping; I place them close to my shrimp poles. They draw off some of the crabs that will sit on my bait. When I plan on shrimping two nights in a row, I will leave my pots out overnight. I HAVE SEEN THE COMMERCIAL CRAB MAN EMPTY MY TRAPS AND CUT THE FLOATS, BASTARDS!! There are plenty of crabs for everyone! Do I carry a shotgun, a camera? How about the homeowner that does not believe that I have the right to place my pots in front of his property? He keeps moving my pots? I took a laser range finder to make sure I complied with the law. Doesn?t matter, this prick moves my pots every time! HE IS GUILTY UNDER THE LAW! I GET FINED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW WHEN I INCURE AN INFRACTION! I HAVE REPORTED THESE pricks TIME AND TIME AGAIN! LAW ENFORCEMENT IS BIAS TOWARDS THE INDIGINOUS POPULATION! I PAY TAXES TO MAINTAIN THESE NATURAL RESOURCES! WHY DOESN?T THE LAW APPLY TO THEM? I GET A VISIT FROM DNR EVERYTIME I GO IN THE WATER! I CANNOT BELIVE THET THEY NEVER NOTICE THESE INFRACTIONS!
I live on DI, on the water…my 10 and 7 year old son went crabbing Saturday while I fished the Miracles… When they showed me their catch we had the " don’t keep more than you will eat" conversation…if your kids would like to learn from other kids I’m confident my boys would be willing to help

I?ve read the whole thread now, a lot of ego crap, some good points. I remember when you could not run a boat without hitting an out of state crab pot. The navigable waterways cannot be obstructed by law. Where is DNR? The laws were changed and the out-of-staters were priced out of the market. This needs to be reformed again. I have paid $1.75 per crab, just one hundred miles from the coast, minimum sized crabs, and I?m sure undersize crabs are being kept by the commercial guys! Once again, where are the DNR guys?
As for good or bad crab catches, salinity drives the crab populations, they move with the influx of fresh water. Some years are better than others, we are now in a moderate drought. The crabs are moving! I completely agree that only larger males should be kept!
THE LAWS NEED TO BE APPLIED EQUALLY! WHERE IS DNR ON THIS!!!
PS: And SELLSFISH, I RECOGNIZE THAT MARSH! LEAVE MY CRABS ALONE!!!
Uhhhh, DNR is overworked and underpaid. They are chasing real criminals hopefully…
