You'll find some blue crab photos at bluecrab
Most of my pix seem to be from the eating side!

Flapbreaker: thanks for the link -- good info on a lot of west coast fishing.
I was in Oregon (Coos Bay) and a friend and I were eating shrimp when I asked where was a good place to dip them. No wonder I got the strange looks -- I guess they couldn't imagine what a 100+ foot net handle looks like.
Down here things are easy compared to all those methods for catching fish, crabs, and shrimp. People do use traps for the bluecrab, but if you have a boat and get proficient spotting them at night with a light (recreational), there's no going back to traps since you can simply motor along and pick your size. Can't argue that the crabs out there are much bigger and to me King Crab is certainly the king of crabs in taste, but we have Fl lobsters for that (and can get them by light-spotting too). |

Flapbreaker, outstanding crabbing link and document. I've been crabbing for a couple decades and down loaded it for reference, thanks.
