Mike, I ran two 1200' lines. One in 17-19 and the other in 15-17. Crabs were biting on the shallower line. Crabs stop biting at 10:00 AM for us.
Big Jim you are welcome. The forecast for the tunnel on Thursday and Friday looks good.

Skip,
You ever try diving for them? I bet this time of year they're so slow you can just pick them up and throw them in the bag.

Water boy- I don't think it is legal to gather crabs by diving.
I remember some Oyster divers getting in trouble a few years ago for bringing crabs up.
Underwater,the crabs are total bad a$$es :eek2: -claws flying and snapping-very tough to grab them.They are very fast underwater and can really turn quick.Every now/then I corner one and pick it up just to say "HI" :D but then I release them.Plus 60* water gets cold after about 1/2 hour. Skip
:thumbup: Nice work guys :thumbup:

Made the mistake of letting my wife see this post and the picture of you're bushel! Now she is saying to get more bait and get my A@@ back out there!
Going to throw her a bone tonight by serving a couple of dozen oysters along with some crab cakes from my stash in the freezer.
Nice looking crabs, Lance
