It would be great if someone with deep pockets started or funded a crab hatchery.
Raise a several thousand breeders and let them hatch out a bunch of little crabs, raise them to a nickle or quarter size and release them up and down the coast.
Good for everybody and would restore a resource for the younger generation to enjoy.

There used to be a holding facility on Folly rd. They held the crabs till they were molting. Then they provided the local soft shell crab industry! How come the local restaurants serve She Crab Soup with real she crab roe? THERE IS A CRAB FARM INDUSTRY!!!

I, don’t know how tough it is, or how cheap! A trip to the ER room would have cost $1,000 after they said they needed Xrays and such!,
Removing the hook didn’t hurt as much is squeezing a bottle of bleach through the top hole and out the bottom hole? Made me make girl sounds, but no infection!

It would help the crab population if in the spring, crabbers were not allowed to catch and keep sook crabs. Even though they have already mated, they can be kept as long as they have not sponged.
I crab often and in a ton of different spots sometimes I see many commercial pots some time I see few. With that being said. Sometimes I feast some times I don’t. I know I wouldn’t stay in a spot all day with a catch rate of 3 per day, I would move on. I have also learned a lot over the time I’ve been crabbing which isn’t years of time. It’s not rocket science at all. I feel it’s pretty easy really. These commercial fisherman are trying to make a living within the law and I figure it’s not an easy living I’m sure they work hard for their money. I have to agree with guy who said stop the fertilzeing and pesticides and that would really help the entire echo system but I doubt you would ever do that. Feel free to IM me and I can show you some of my honey holes for a price. If you’re living on Daniel island you can afford to pay for it. I can’t go right out my back door and catch crabs but something tells me if I lived in your place I would be catching more than 3 in an entire day.

Another reason for aquaculture to become more prevalent. Too many mouths to feed from wild stocks.
