Crabbing report 7/18/14
 

First trip of the year, didn't expect much

hit one of the local rivers

I was surprised three quarter bushel In two and a half hours

we had 1000 feet of line with chicken necks no traps

we were in 8 feet of water, ran alongside a drop off.

once the tide stopped the bite shut down like a light switch

maybe there is some hope.

First good report I've heard in a long time.....

Second trip..

they're still here...

Congrats, that's a pile of cash in that basket!! I heard yesterday people were paying $350 a bushel :eek: Absolutely insane! Now $350 worth of grapefruit crushes, THAT makes sense! :D

Conrad's is advertising crabs, Jumbos $112 a dozen, XL $92 a dozen. That's just freakin insane. We been out 3 times, up in Bear Creek, after work. Grand total of one, 7 1/2 in crab. Usually, with 12 hand lines, we would come in with 18, or more.

super moon =super crabs
 

Third trip.

Super moon?? Best trip so far, after culling out the light legal crabs

still had a packed bushel.

Shallow along the shore 4' + - produced best.

Surprise tagged crab , only the second one ever on my boat.

I did not scoup him :cool:.

Again an afternoon trip after work, was on the water for about four hours.

Trout line with necks ....fun time.
