Grand Isle Questions.... Several of Them

[swamp snorkler]

Right before you turn onto the new on the left there is a lady that sells live crabs. She has them in a tank with circulated saltwater going through it, you can normally get the smaller crabs for $6 a dozen. They may be missing a leg but you using them for bait so that's not an issue.

We never rigged our like Math Geek. We would pull off the pinchers, take a pare of snips and cut the spines off the top shell and then hook a 6/0 hook through the rear most leg where it connect to the body. Carolina rigged with a 2 oz weight minimum.

I prefer to use a large spinning reel to fish Bulls at night. I can cast it further, I don't have to put m finger and stop it mid right before it hits the water in the dark. You don't have to set the it with different size baits.
