fiddler crabs

[Chris1129]

Do they have green crabs in the pp/brielle area to fish canal with?

The bait shop that makes all the ice had green crabs 2 weeks ago. Didn't see any fiddlers, nor did I look for them.

Not sure where you're located but there are mud flats on the east side of Bayonne (behind the Stop-n-Shop) that I used to catch all the fiddler crabs (also all the Asian crabs you wanted) you wanted on low tide.

For the fiddlers you had to walk on the mud flats and scurry around to get the fiddlers, took some time and a bit messy but with 2 people you can usually get enough for a full day of fishing. For the Asians, all you had to do was turn over rocks along the waterline.

Suppliers are not offering fiddlers yet. They can be found, but I think most shops would want to know if your buying them for sure. Otherwise, they are throwing money away. I ordered a few bags last week, that were reserved.
