Its not about any of that
I guess my point is if we the fishing public want the continued use of the water front and the convienience of local tackle shops we all need to realize that the guy opening it needs to earn a $$ not based on what the older more esablished guy charges but on the reality of today.
1] joes on 1st has been theer since 1902 has no note or rent and has a stock of sinkers from 1903 hence .60 sinkers
while toms on 55st opened in 2000 and has a mtg. or rent and need to charge 1.00 is it bad to patronize joes no but when joe retires or dies and his kids sell the place to a condo builer for 10000000000000 dollars and no one ever went to bills and he went bankrupt oh welll no more sinkers at any price and any one who wants to make there own goodluck with the fumes.

Skip, Then wherever you got it doesn't know how to make it. It's a real PITA, I has to be par-boiled than you have to pound the sh!t out of it, and only then use it in your reciepe. When done correctly is really good.

Yes we sell them by the 1/4 and 1/2 bushel for the prices stated. I'd rather move 8 bushels a day then 2 dozen crabs!

WAY WE DO IT OVER AT MY DOCK IS WE HAVE A LARGE CAGE HOLDS LIKE 1/2 BUSHEL. IT HANGS UNDER THE DOCK AND IS HELD TIGHT TO IT BY A CHAIN AND LOCK ON 1 SIDE AND A UNREMOVABLE CHAIN ON THE OTHER. WE HAVE 4 GUYS PARTNERS IN ON MY TRAP ALL BUDDIES. GOING OUT? NEED CRABS? UNSNAP LOCK AND TRAP DROPS DOWN TO BOTTOM AND THERE IS A 1/4 NYLON ROPE ON IT STILL ATTACHED TO THE OTHER SIDE. YOU BRING THE TRAP UP, TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, CLOSE THE TRAP. LOWER IT BACK TO THE BOTTOM AND PULL IT BACK UP UNDER THE DOCK WITH THE NYLON LINE AND RELOCK IT.NATURALLY WE HAVE TO REPLENISH THE HOLDING PEN FAIRLY OFTEN AND RULE OF THUMB IS IF YOU HEADING THAT WAY PICK UP CRABS
WORKED JUST FINE LAST 2 YEARS. WE WENT TO THESE EXTREMES AFTER GOING TO OUR BOATS 1 NOVEMBER MORNING AND FINDING WE HAD ALL OUR PAILS CLEANED OUT BY THE WEEKEND WARRIORS NEXT DOCK OVER.

HOW SURE AM I? 1 SOB ACTUALLY TOOK THE TYPICAL 5 GALLON SPACKLE W/LID AND ALL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT SLIPPED OFF MY CLETE AND FLOATED AWAY AND WAS SCRATCHING MY HEAD , BUT I DRILLED THE DRAIN HOLES IN THE LID IN A PATTERN (OK I WAS BORED AND HAD A POWER TOOL IN HAND WHEN I MADE IT)AND I DECIDED TO WALK THE DOCK THE NEXT DAY. SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS MY BUCKET HANGING OFF SOME GUYS CLETE ON NEXT DOCK. I REMOVED THE BUCKET DOUBLE CHECKED IT WAS MINE (NO DOUBT) AND SINCE THE CRABS WEREN'T MINE OPENED HIS BILGE HATCH AND "STORED" THEM IN THERE FOR HIM SO THEY WOULDN'T GET AWAY.

Sortie, horseshoe crabs are the best bait for eels, also. And, I REPEAT, if you're paying more than 8 cents apiece for green crabs you're getting RIPPED OFF!!!

It's more like a Square 4 gal pail. 2-galons is about 10 dozen so depending on the size of the crabs I'd say 18-20 dozen.

they are smaller and have a grey shell. Often call Scungilli and they are very popular in italian cusine.
yah, my daughter and I pulled up a trap and plucked a conch out of it..that thing has quite a 'foot' which produce a meaningful amount of meat (don't worry, we put the scungilli back in the trap and were glad the waterman didn't catch us, but it was low tide and he doesn't harvest then...he'd end up with a prop wrapped with his own warp)
