Default crabbing - need quick answer

Trying to take the kids crabbing this morning (just hand lines and drop nets) and need to know if I need a fishing license. My license expired as of yesterday and I don't have a new one yet and we are about to leave to head down to the water. I got a speeding ticket yesterday, don't need a "crabbing without a license" ticket today.

I don't think a license is required for crabbing... someone posted the regulation on here about 2 or 3 weeks ago

Any person using crab nets or crab lines for the purpose of taking crabs for recreational purposes shall not be required to purchase or possess a basic recreational fishing license or be required to purchase a gear license. However, persons using crab nets or crab lines on LDWF WMAs or refuges must possess a basic and saltwater recreational fishing license or a Wild Louisiana Stamp.


You have to buy a saltwater but not a basic fishing unless you are on a WMA

Seems pretty clear that you need Salt + Basic if you are on a WMA or Refuge...

Also seems pretty clear that you do NOT need Basic to crab...

The vague part is do you need a saltwater fishing license to crab? HINT: You must have Basic to purchase a saltwater license... haha

Man, a basic plus a salt will run you about $15 altogether.... I'd swing by cajun fast mart or Wal-mart and get it just to be sure. You never know, you might want to fish while your down there too.
