blue claw crabs

[ShawnM]

My Dad & I did good this past weekend crabbing in NJ we had 82 keeper crab's. Most 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 some are 7 to 7 1/2 inch. Here are some I cooked my dad has the rest

Hey Shawn where did you get those crabs, Seaside or somewhere else in Barnegat or down by Long Beach Island?

[ShawnM]

No Let's say around the Key Port Area    on the NJ side up in a creek/Park. We carbed in about 10 to 3 feet of water.

Anybody got any new crab reports?

How's crabbing going this year?

[DonW]

Crabbin' down in Keyport has been good. The pier just re-opened. The Keansburg pier was GREAT a couple a weeks ago. Heard of a couple of bushels being pulled.  Cheesequake Creek has been pretty hot also. If you have a boat, the Shrewsbury by the Oceanic bridge in Rumson is doing good. Hope this helps.

Tight Lines,
