I'm believe VA commercial crabbers were made to stop dredging in 2011.
Have to call a waterman friend or online to check. It was a very bad idea and
ugly to see all the bushels of sook at the dock in Cape Charles in the winter time.
As a live long crabber and to see how bad the water is now no wonder crabbing
is so low.
I dunno, bout time. Lot of doubletalk http://mrc.virginia.gov/regulations/fr1140.shtm
Id like to see them enforce size limits more, some assholes will keep a 3 or 4 inch hardcrab.
Are you getting any softies yet?
