I only have one trap in the water at work, but I helped my neighbor set a bunch in the back country. He got 30 claws yesterday, I got 4. Who else is proud to have crabs??!

Stone Crabs are on a VERY short list of perfect foods.
I'd love to live in the Keys and have my own traps. |

Gulf Blues are flown up in the winter. |

So what's the regulations with them? You are only allowed to remove one claw from each crab? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Outstanding. And triple tails hanging out down current of the lines is good too.

I would find many, many crabs in the rocks at the base of the bridge in the East pass between Ft Walton and Okaloosa Island.
It was an easy beach dive. Go to the base of the pile and pick crabs all the way up the top of the pile. Good times, good eats. |

Another pair of crabs relieved of their right arms. Mullet seems to be working out as bait.

Only stone crab I ever caught was when I stuck my hand in a crevice and it attached itself to my hand. . |

How do they survive with both claws removed? I bet they get anoyed with constant removing of a claw.

Taking both claws increases mortality by 19%. It is common in FL to take both claws.
"Under experimental conditions, but using commercially accepted techniques, 47% of stone crabs that had both claws removed died after declawing, and 28% of single claw amputees died; 76% of the casualties died within 24 hours of declawing." |

I'm working on registration and an outboard for a Jon boat, then you can expect a lot of blue crab picture threads. |
