    Crabs not that meaty!

    Thanks everyone for the info. I kind of figured that that was the issue last time, as I had a female loaded with eggs that I carefully put back, as that was at least a month ago. I didn’t realize that it was a year long thing.

    Crabs not that meaty!

    Lately the crabs I’ve been getting don’t have a lot of meat in them, especially the legs. Is it the time of year, has anyone else noticed this? Crabbing in Sidney.

    Noobie buying a boat

    Anyway if you’re planning to fish there most of the time I wouldn’t go any smaller than 18ft. A boat that size will get you to most of the popular spots from SB.

    Silver streak washdown install

    Call Silver Streak before you start drilling anything! It may be better in the long run if they give you a price. I bought mine already installed but have been back there for other things, and they have been very helpful.
