Nice Job RJ. Sorry to hear they've slowed up. but typical for that part of the pax right before July 4th. They slow just when we need them the most.[grin][grin]

Thanks RJ. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention but the moon seems to be changing. Hot weekend ahead[excited]

Glad you got 'em again.
Those crabs are getting wise to you and are going elsewhere.[grin]

I'll be out of crabbing commission for a brief while so you can have all the ones I would have caught.[wink]

Got the line puller working again.[smile]

Good Job Rich
I'm hearing it has slowed some on the Pax this week from others also.

[Croakers]

Yup, I was down there too. Only managed to get 3 doz. with my rings but that's all we need. Nice crabs though. Some guy with a Ford truck that has the hitch on the front bumper caught them all. I tried to catch up with him in the parking lot after I put my boat away, but he was too quick and got away. I wanted to buy an extra dozen from him for my neighbor. They tell me this guy can catch crabs in the parking lot, he's so good at it. [grin][grin][grin] T.

RJ, I was down there again yesterday and noticed it had slowed from the previous week. It made me wonder if it was a bad tide (which it was), if they moved, or if they have just been worked too hard. Possibly a combination of factors... All in all a goog day still, the ones I took were big and better quality than what they have been.

Thanks for the report. I am heading for the Pax Saturday to give it a try again. Hope some of thos ecrab critters are still around.
