Best Blue Crab Spots

[GregRuder]

I am driving in from San Antonio tomorrow and was looking for a good place to catch some blue crab. I've heard RWR...Pecan Island...Holly Beach...to name a few. The closer to the Texas/Louisiana border the better for my drive, but I don't mind going further into the state. Just don't want to drive all that way for nothing. Anybody have some good spots? I heard at Holly Beach you don't need a license...is this true? And also...for a place like Holly Beach, can I go as early as I want? Do I have to wait for a certain time? Any tips would be helpful...just going for fun...but would love to find the best spot so we don't drive all that way and not catch anything.
