Crabbing this year

Personally I have found crabbing to be very good this year.

I have had no problems catching Calico or Rock crabs.

This year I caught more Hermit Crabs than ever before, and they are not common for my area.

Below is a picture taken while Rock crabbing last week.

Crab Ring was in the water less than 5 minutes,
there are over 40 crabs on it.

Where are you doing your crabbing?

 

[LarryNoBoat]

Are they for sale or your own use? If you sell them directly or thru a bait shop please let me know. Thanks

I waited on this one

I waited on this subject because I knew the water temps were just to warm. Yes the crabs for a while were hard to get but now the temps are coming back to normal and this week we are seeing the crabs come on strong. Guys rember if you plan on crabing for your self you need a State permit. don't get caught while crabing with out a permit.

Can you get these crabs in NJ

Is it possible to get these crabs anywhere in NJ. Can they be caught from shore?

permit?

Please provide details for crabbing permit. Do you need one for catching blueclaws, or commercial crabbing or both?

Ny state crab permit

In NY state any number over 50 crabs you must have a crab permit to harvest more! Lobsters and crabs in spawn (eggs visible thereon) may not be taken or possessed follow the link below.

Nice pictures, good info. I doubt I'll ever have a use for more than 50 crabs a day. Thank you much.

Is that true, Blue claws work for Tog?

 

[codman]

what about white crabs? catching? buying? where?

 

[mattyblazer]

What size skiff is that?

With a 115 it would have to be a 24 or 27? Good boats accept when you need to rush in a chop, well with a 17 anyway.

Nice Post

HungryJack -

I'm assuming that you have some sort of system/method for keeping them alive. Care to divulge any secrets?
