my buddy and I out grabbin some blue crabs drinkin a fer cold ones and he nets this guy just swimmin by his feet

you guys should try noodlin' for em

I'm tellin ya it was Just too funny. I'm pretty bored of stripers, I've never seen so many in a yr in my life so we been crabbin and stuff but that made the day.

so you just grabbed it?
was it sick? trapped in a shallow?

cool none the less.


i did something similar while catching frogs.. it was like a 3lb trout though..ended up being kind of sick

Hope you don't live in Mass ;)

(because netting stripers is illegal, unless you're landing one after catching it on a hook and line :rtfm: )

it was released immediatly. it bolted from the bullrushes when he was scoopin a blue and he netted it.

Nice One. Some guys work many months to get one so big. Some guys have them run into their nets! :) Unbeleiveable.

eh blue crabs taste better anyway. I just thought the look on his face was priceless. In all honesty I have never see a yr with so many fish, theres never a bad day on the watter its driven me to start to fish for different species. fluke, tuna, etc..

hey j sulli ,how the blue crabbing been where you are.over here in westport ,ma its been slow slow slow???

unreal to be honest
loads of them im verry active in the hunt though I work for them and to find spots

so i guess you use a spot and stalk method huh?them things are fast swimmers care to elaborate alittle about your technique?we got a spot where we catch them going under a narrow bridge and net them as they come by with the tide.but that spot is way up cape.here in the westport river were i live weve been trying ring nets with not that great results.

pm sent where to go what to do

Heres my buddy who actually netted it so funny
