My wife , Paula, and i went over to the coast to try our luck with catching some blue crabs. It turned out to be a nice morning. We didn't have to get before dawn to go and we had rest rooms close by. Things that my wife finds to be of great benefit to her.
We did not do bad, we brought home 33 crabs.
Nice day. Hopefully the sea grass continues to improve to help attract more blue crabs back again.
Sweet! Nice haul of crabs.
Pics?
Interesting bit of information if you have not seen it, this is only a small portion of the news feed
Recreational Crab Fishing Closes in Playalinda District of Canaveral National Seashore
Effective May 22, 2017
Effective May 22, 2017, recreational crab fishing along Mosquito Lagoon in the Playalinda district of Canaveral National Seashore will be prohibited. Park staff is evaluating associated safety concerns and the activity’s impact to park resources. The protection of visitors and wildlife is paramount to the mission of Canaveral National Seashore.
Beginning at the entrance to the seashore and along the beach road including Eddy Creek, this activity will no longer be permitted. Hand-held crab lines attract alligators and increase interactions with those crabbing. Abandoned crab lines have entangled wildlife, and threatens their safety.

I will abide, but don't have to support it!
I imagine it will not be long before all shore fishing is shut down in the entir refuge. Gigantic litter problems. They keep shutting down Haulover as the trash accumulates faster than the park service can clean it up. Shame actually. Then the people making the mess will be screaming foul.
Yep! In this case, the many will ruin it, for the few. Always seem to carry home, more trash than I bring out.
Funny, or not so, full beer and Coke cans, must weigh more, when their empty! These folks just can seem to carry those heavy empty cans out.Biggest offender, unfortunately is "fishermen", lots of cheap mono.....

The few will absolutely ruin it for the many. Sad part is the garbage thats piled up and thrown in bushes 10' from garbage cans.
