ctt, they are a blast on a light spinning rod, but these were caught by trolling with spoons. if we can find the school concentrated in one area, you can cut power and drift through and cast to them. some people like to fly fish for them, but conditions have to be right. i catch them later in the season sometimes when trout fishing with live bait on 10 lb power pro, closest i'll get to bonefishing.
bonita , i'll save some for mr grouper, too..

We jig them on teaser rigs just like Ling and Whiting. If you're into them doubles and triples are common. I use ground up Macks, cooked rice and niblets corn, frozen into chum logs for winter flounder, and then later in the year I use them for chum and chunk bait for Blues.

Wow that's a good haul from one trap. I see you broke off the left pincher....are the crabs born right-clawed? If not they are now! J/K
That's awesome Phat. Keep these crab pix coming. Also if you have any info on the proper way to break the pincher off without injuring the crab I'd be interested - being a rookie who does get stoners occasionally in my blue crab trap. I've only harvested one stoner and the pincher came off pretty easy. Hope I did it right.

in florida you can harvest both claws. i hold the crab by its claws and his back to me, apply down pressure to both claws and take the one that pops off first. i know some people take a pair of garden shears and cut them at the joint, they all taste great..

I don't know what I was looking at yesterday...those are obviously not all left claws. Thanks for the info.
