Do Asian crabs stink as bad as green grabs? Bait shops in general have their own aroma but those green crabs in a big cardboard box crawling and she ite'ing all over each other stink worse than anything!

Fished Wednesday off Westport and went light with tideltail jigs due to shallow bite and very small crabs, was none stop action until I ran out of crabs. Switched to small jigs-plastic for a few more and then beat feet; 1 foot or less my ass. Nothing big, but if I had a license I'd have filled my limit easily. I found the bite with the small jigs and crabs not much bigger than the jig almost a gimmie, first bite set and I hit fish almost every time.

The Asians don't stink nearly as bad. I put them both live in a bucket in my second fridge and when the big greens die they stink like hell. When the small Asian crabs die you don't even notice. Plus you don't have to deal with the stinky mess cutting them. So much cleaner. Perfect bait for jigging
