Thanks but the tolls and gas and time will kill me. I’m not a black fishermen but I do watch. I was out blackfishing with some pretty good fisherman and they were nailing them. What I noticed is as they were cutting them in half they would keep the ones with orange color in the body, take notice some are orange ( females I think ) so I did it too and started catching them too. It’s the little things that count.

That's how I do my crabs as I showed in the picture a few posts back and they all have the orange inside, some more than others. You just can't use females, because when you buy them you don't get a choice and you might be tossing half your dead crabs back, unless you only buy a few and a few won't last 10 minutes. You say your not a black fisherman, well if and when you do go have a great time and good luck. Green crabs are an invasive crab species from Europe, don't throw them back alive, they will destroy clams, mussels, oysters beds and others.

Gotcha. I hope I never have any left to throw back.

I went to buy green crabs and told the guy. I want only female crabs. He took me to a basket that only had female crabs, I asked him why he keeps them in separate baskets. He said the female crabs are always making the male crabs work so I d3cided to keep them in separate baskets. Now. The males are happy and the females are not.good luck fishing
