Where to buy bait crabs on Hwy 23?

[Swamprat587]

Crabs are pretty high this year. I was in Venice all week, the Shrimp/crab dock just on the other side of the levee in Venice had crabs for sale, but not a lot. (I stopped in there for bait shrimp) I watched quite a few crab boats running lines at the mouth of the river last week and I know their fuel bill must be eating them alive as most of the pots they pulled were empty or sparse. Consequently, I didnt see anyone selling crabs between Venice and Point-a- la hatch.
