crabbing suggestions???
 

my wife and kids want to go crabbing this weekend. any hot spots or ideas where they might be catching any?

just got a report on facebook that they are catching them in the Bonne Carre

They are smoking em behind the wiers in big lake, catch 5 dozen in about 45 min.

how far in marsh?

Right when you go through the barrier start dropping lines.

W, can you give me a permit to crab next to your wiers?:D

i think he gave up on the wiers after the fiberglass work he is doing:p

Fixed it for you.

Has anyone tried Crabbing up in the 210 bridge, Lake Charles or Saltwater barrier area?????

Results???

Went this passed Friday. Close to the Holly Beach water tower. Caught about 5 dozen in a couple of hours and that was mid day. Turkey necks and string. Good size and full.

This message is copy righted and a fee of 1 dozen LIVE crabs are expected upon use of this information.

I work on the river at the south end of Lake Chuck. We've seen baitfish move back in to the area but very few crabs so far. Also, there hasn't been a lot of activity with the folks that usually crab by the Conoco docks on Mike Hooks Road.

Behind the weirs..
 

Tons of crabs behind the weirs, just pick a point with some moving water and drop lines from your boat. If you have some trout that works the best, you can get some trout from the guide buckets they put out when they come in, you usually catch a good 5 dozen limit in a couple of hours or less.

Went to Westbay Rec Area last week and caught 6 dozen BIG crabs 6" average, shut off when the water stopped moving. Catching 3-4 at a time on chicken quarters.

Fixed it for you......limit is 5 dozen in the Refuge.

We didn't catch them all on the refuge. It should read, came home with 6 dozen. We hit another spot too, after the water quit moving, just didn't get too many.

man,

the last time i caught crabs was not pleasant

Catching them is best part.
