Crabs again

Yesterday my daughters house keepers told me where her daughter had gone and caught some awesome crabs. When I told Linda she said let's go. So off we went, this was a land job, fishing from a bulkhead. We didn't catch but 18 but the size of each made up for numbers. I measured one just for the fun of it and it measured almost 16 inches from claw to claw outstretched. They were all packed with meat and delish. I ate 5 claws and 1 crab and I was full. It was determined by us that it was a worthwhile trip.

That looks like good eating.

Looks like a fun trip, and some good eating!

Nice PawPaw. I remember as a teenager we would catch some with 24 to 26 spans in Flat Lake.My dad sold them for a dollar a dozen when I was 10 to12 or so. Always put in an extra. Then the high water of 73......

"D", I remember those crabs, I think it only took 6 to make a dozen. These I caught brought back memories of those crabs which were always fat and full and all males as I remember.

Very few females, but I did like to eat the orange stuff. haha

"D" if you're talking about the eggs in the female crabs, that happens to be my favorite part along with the claws.

Not me

Very nice pawpaw! I brought mom and dad on the Saturday before mothers day. We only caught 36 but they were all nice size and packed full of meat.

We gave it another shot yesterday but it didn't pay off. We only caught 3 large ones and about 2 dozen small and medium. Maybe it's the moon phase that changed.
