I have a receipt for the crab I ate for dinner.

You two are off the crab cake list.

Where the heck can you go crabing around here?

The bay, the gulf, and any of the dune lakes. Traps are a little more difficult in the gulf, but just about ever body of water around here has crabs in it. I wouldn't rush over to Prominence's harbor though.

Don't that beat all? Oysterman-Rick had someone steal a bunch of his crabs this summer which were in a holding tank to sell.

I am so sorry to hear that SWGB. How could they. The list of villians should be very small that would even come near to where you have your crab basket set. Glad you reviewed the severity of this infraction. Maybe our local mass media types might want to do a review lesson on fishing and crabbing etiquette. A felony is serious business.

I'm sorry to hear your trap was molested, SWGB. But, how can you really tell? We throw traps in every now and then and drop them back down sometimes if they only have 2 crabs. Sure enough, one or both is always smart enough to get out
Do you use chicken? Any secrets you want to share for the not-so-productive crabbers out there?
Seriously, I hope you catch your crab thief!

We had a white and blue trap float wash up under our dock in Tucker Bayou the other day if that helps....
We always put our trap in with some chicken in it, make sure to keep feeding the guys we catch and leave it out there until we have about 9-10, no problem!!! If we forget to feed them, they seem to take care of themselves using the survival of the fittest strategy.
