But besides the poor crabbing I was EXTREMELY disappointed in the amount of litter down there. Idk if it's the quality of people in those specific locations or just the people of the south in general but MY GOODNESS it was horrible. Absolutely disgusting. Beer cans, fast food bags, old fishing and crabbing gear, you name it it was down there. Exactly why we can't have nice stuff.
I fished Montana, Idaho, and Oregon for a week last month and I couldn't find a piece of trash at their boat launches and campsites. Made for a real eye opener compared to this sewer hole of the south.
If you're a sportsman that takes your kids along, please set the example of leaving the place in better condition than you found it. Or at bare minimum don't add to the mess we already have.

I love how the docks that have a huge "no crabbing or fishing in this area" sign on them have 10 old crab lines hanging right next to sign. Not only can people not read, but they can care less about picking up their trash.
