Tuna Crab

Well, I've been seeing an incredible biomass of them out there again this year, and now someone got some great diving video of them.  Very cool clips.

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Net some up and I'll but they would slay in freshwater. I know they slay in the surf for small fare.

They haven't been floating at the surface so much, but have been at the middle water column and bottom.  Harder to get that way, but I'll be saving them whenever I could.

They're tasty! Just need a bunch of them to make it worthwhile.

Back from the Fred Hall show and posed the harvesting question to Game Wardens. Limit 35 and they could be used in F/W for bait.

Also got the OK to use carp as a saltwater bait.
