NJTramcar Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Has anyone begun crabbing and if so, any luck or is it still early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm24 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Saturday I was fishing in the top of Barnaget Bay and snagged a crab pot. It had 6 keepers in it. So I put three pots off of my dock in the Beaverdam creek and had 5 keepers for lunch on Sunday Compulsion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentwayne Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Read reports on bluecrab dot info and they seem to be out. Go get em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyZac Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 In Great Bay, they're out, not in full force yet, but in enough quantity that it's worth targeting them. Another week, and it'll really be game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosco Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Think it will get to a point where there will be a limit put on crabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all over the place and most target them from a dock or one spot. If you have a boat, you can catch a ton. There is no shortage of crabs... at least where I crab.

yosco Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Poorly worded. I knew it was a bushel. I meant along the lines of knocking that down to something like a dozen, 15 per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilCVG Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I have not tried yet and usually don't until July. But they've been catching some in southern NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
