pretty late on the follow up report but I just wanted to thank you guys for reassuring me it wasn't too cold to continue to try crabbing.
I went back on 10/22/14 and caught 2 bushels of #1 crabs and some were hanging onto just empty bone or even a stringy little smidgen of tendon still stuck in the knot.
it was amazing how almost every single crab was a big large #1 and out of those 2 bushels there may have been only 10 or 12 that weren't wall hanger size.
haven't been back since though as other matters take up my free time right now but I hope this last bought of freezing temps hasn't shut em down early.
I was about to put the crab line in storage before you guys set the record straight that just cause its cold don't mean you cant catch crabs.
if I can find time to go try again next week, I may bring the radio next time (no im not going to be blasting music across the bayou lol) since I think I may need longer soak times with the temps so low lately. I just want a little music playing low so I have something to listen to and I think or at least hope it wont bother the crabs. I figure if the running motor doesn't bother then then some low playing tunes should be all right too.
