Re: Crabbing
I did Navesink this week. First of 2021 for me. Yes Gerry is right Barnie is substantially better.
Sink was lots of sea cabbage. 4 to 1 throw back of undersized and pouch females. Not a good tide- all outgoing and 10k wind was the opposite direction from E-SE.
A couple of dozen. A few 6 inchers. The rest just at or above 4.5". The biggest two I caught were the pouch females (over 6 inches )that go back in.
If I had all the undersized retained would have had about 60-70 crabs.
Lots of females in the catch. Meaning higher than usually salinity for that part of the Sink attracting more females.
So.. there's your report.
