Off the main tie a 10-12' string with a piece of leg quarter on it you may want to attach an old nut to help weigh it down.
Walk the main line, when you get to one of your bait lines pull it in slow, have the net in the water and scoop the crabs.
I may make a trip to grand isle in a few weeks to get some. When the giving good you can load the truck and there is no limit that I know of. I dont keep more than my family can eat so once I fill an ice chest I stop.
One thing not mentioned is female crab with the eggs showing...... throw them back you can NOT posses them.

This is awesome information. Thanks for all your help, everyone. I think we've decided on Holly Beach...saves us the expense of fishing licenses and allows us to catch more. I'm gonna run over to Academy (best I can do in San Antonio) and buy some gear to set up a trot line.
