We had a seafood boil Saturday.
My Uncles normal crabber called him Sat AM and told him his rake broke. Needing crabs for our seafood boil he got in his boat and headed out to find some crabbers. He ran across 2, the first one @9 AM the second about 9:45 AM....... between the 2 of them they had 2 bushels of crabs. For some reason they not doing very good right now. I think we have to many predator fish (redfish, drum, sheephead) and I also think the BP spill messed them up quite a bit. It may be time to close the season for a while so they can catch up or lower the number of females that can be caught. Also trawling season is right around the corner and that's going to put a dent in the population as well.
