Caught 2 in the sound yesterday, thought they were little mud crabs. they were not very big but was surprisedd to see them. Got a few blue ones as well but not as many about as I thought there would be.
we used to get lots of them out in deep water {55fathoms+} but we werent allowed to bring them in tho,as we dont have a licence for them , i think they go out to about 350fathoms and the cristal crabs start at 450 fathoms they are all full of meat out there ,good score guys
