Love fishing for those critters even if im allergic. My favorite way of getting them is stalking them on a small boat, but you have to be fast at the net to get them. I use the nets as oars to push me along and work shallow bars or edges. You can just go back and forth in a 150 foot section and coutinue to get get when the tied is moving. The other is setting up bait( chicken ) on strings & then tied to sticks and staked out , you can see some behind me in the pics. My familly loves to eat them, but they are a little work to get some meat out of them. I have caught them up to 9"(which is a trophy blue crab...lol) from tip to tip. Be carefull they bite hard & draw bood, even thru the tickest gloves. The females can be kept as long as they are big enough in Ma, but not if they are egg bearing. Tho it is good sportsman ship to let go all females. Most crabs live about 2 years so thats why you go thru years were they are all small and not many. Years like this with all the fresh water can make it difficult too. Good luck they are great cooked with tomatoe sauce and beer.

Thanks, Im not sure about the pyramid style ones I think you can use those. You can use the crab traps(look like lobster pots) if you have a recreational Lobster lincense. It's about $40 for the permit.

Wow them are some nice crabs!!
I haven't done that for like 5 years now!! I hate cleaning them for the meat, but the kids have a ball!!
They clean and then we make crab cakes, crab salad, stuffing, ect..
Not to many places here in the mid cape to get them, and I hear wareham is slow slow?? I am camping there till aug.
I use to use the racks from the Fluke and bass I caught, To cheap to spend the money on the chicken.
Hope you enjoy them!!
