RB 8/15...
« on: August 15, 2012, 05:02:58 PM »
Brought the boys down to the hospital again.  Got the last few hours of the outgoing. S-L-O-W  pick and once the tide stopped it was non existent.

Managed 8 males 5-6"  probably 30 throwbacks ranging from the size of a dime to just under 5"

Steamed the 8 for an appetizer just now.  All were healthy looking, clean crab, yet 3 of the 8 were completely hollow!  Claw meat and nothing else.

Nice low fly over by some vintage WWII planes around 1PM was damn cool!

Must be after the shed.A week to a week and a half they will be full again.

Makes sense.

Just strange how all were close in size yet 5 were packed and 3 were empty.

On a side note, getting a little tough explaining to my son and his buddy that we dont keep "women" and our personal size limit is 5".... as always,just trying to teach them a little conservation.  A little tough when buckets are filled with shorts and females.

BTW, snappers were pretty thick around 6".  All bait, they wouldnt touch the poppers or small spoons...LOADS of spearing around.
