Well, thanks to a good friend I finally made it out on the water for some crabbing!! Was a drizzling a bit, but the water was clam out there and it made for an awesome day!! :D Haven't been out crabbing for probably close to a year so I was eager to jump at the chance when my buddy offered to get me out there!! Besides, I think he just wanted to use me to pull up the traps!! We had close to a hundred in the traps after about three times going through the rounds, there were enough in them with some of the pulls actually slowing me down on the lift!! We let go many legals because there were a lot of monsters for us to limit out on!! All kept were about 8"!! With rather big meaty legs!! :o SO a nice feast it was!! Also did some fishing in between, nothing big, but did get one flounder and 4 sole!! Also, a really hard hit, but that one leg go!! :P
Here are a few pics from the day!! ;)

I was out for a day on the chuck a couple weeks ago, no springs were caught despite 4 hours of trolling but the limit of crabs was easy. We had two traps out in 60 feet of water off Jericho, we had our limit if legal size crab on the first pull.
