Blue Crabs..

Looks like you have two mates and both are pretty good looking and competant. We land locked people don't get good food like that up here.

:geezer::geezer::geezer:Ahhhhh.....The joys of boating Florida rivers. Fricken jet skis & a hundred million crab trap bouys.

If they're anything like the Maryland Blues I used to eat at my cousin's place, I wouldn't mind getting sick and tired of them! God bless you and yer crabs, 4th!

And all this time I thought they were creatures that feasted on blue balls and the like.

I will have to second the sentiment that I would seriously enjoy getting a shot at having the chance of tiring of what you have on your table.

Old Bay is good stuff ,but I'm not a fan of crabs.

They would eat you,eat them first.

I had crabs once, I didn't like them.

All we needed in Fla. was a string & a chicken neck, catch em all day. Good eating!!

When I was a kid, my brother and I used to get Blue Crabs when our mother would take us to the inter-costal water way. We would use chicken necks as bait, we would just tie a line on with a small weight to keep it on the bottom and wait for the crab to take the bait, then hall them up to the surface and scoop them up with a net. It was great fun for kids but those pinchers were nothing to mess with. My older brother chase me around the yard with the bigger ones if no adults were around.

crab cakes are so nice!

I suppose that a steady diet of crabs would get boring, just like mountain oysters get for us land bounders.

MMMM crab
I like them as an appetizer or just to snack on, to much work for what you get out of them.

And it's been a long time since I've had a good crab cake, you use to be able to get them around here with a lot of meat but now it's just filler with a hint of crab flavor.

My local Kroger store has been pushing there store made crab cakes @ 1$ ea for about 6 months now.I can put six away easy.

One thing I really miss about being in South Carolina is the blue crabs. We'd go to the 3rd Bn pond on PI with a crab trap and a shrimp net and a case or five of beer and fill our icechests with crabs adn shrimp. Good times.

Was a place on the way to Hunting Island near Beaufort called Johnson Creek Tavern. had an amazing blue crab cake sandwhich.

Hey 4th, did Officer Beal inspect those crabs, they look a little small

4th are they the same as down in panama?it seems they were everywhere but hardly any native ate them.

I don't care what kind of spin you put on it, it's still a bug!

Damn, you'll got me hungry dragging out this old thread! Haven't had any crabs in a while. We have plenty of nice crabs down here in the swamp too. I have not fished them in a few years since my traps got stolen.
