I've known for yrs this was coming.. Female crab doesn't have a chance.

From what I read. Looking at season closures.. Maybe lower limits.

I would be for putting a limit to the amount of females to males taken. Say for every 6 males you can keep 1 female. Its ridiculous that certain times of the year you can go to grand isle and catch 200-300 female crabs and no males. That has to hurt the population. Maybe Math Geek could help with this.
