Coming in August and was going to try my hand at catching some blue crab to boil. I searched on the forum here and got some tips and such but then noticed a lot of talk about the #'s being down due to the oil spill. Most of these posts were a few years old so was wondering if the population has rebounded? any reports or info out there?
Not sure about other locations but my brother gets all he wants in Little Lagoon...
Last year was much better than the previous few and indications are good so far for this year...
Caught the heck out of the crabs in the rivers up here last Fall without even trying.
There were the most blue crabs at Ft. Morgan in April that I have seen since I don't know when. I landed several eating my shrimpys by skiing them on top of the water; hung on like they were hungry, or too freaked out to let go.
Caught some back in the 70's at ft Gordon Ga but don't think they were blue :drunk lol not sure how I could cook them but going to try the local market out for some fresh seafood sooooonnn hope ya catch a basket full
If you catch any with soft shells just bring them to the pier and some local will dispose of them for you. Folks are very friendly down south.
