Well...i hope you're not talking about crabbing now...lol. They should be out by late April/early May if this weather keeps up.
Can't help much regarding spots in NY, but in Jersey, I can.
There are SO many spots, it would take forever to tell you if I just posted them.
First of all, would you be crabbing from the shore, your boat, or would you want to rent a skiff?
As soon as you let me know, I can tell you so many spots in Jersey, that it would take you forever to try them all.
