The first ever Hellfish Crab Grab went down pretty nice yesterday. Between Me, Dan, And Becky we got 35 crabs!!! Vis was poor, only like 4 or 5 feet at most, but dispite that this was a fun dive for use, i have never heard more laughing and shreaking ( becky has some lungs on her ) under the water. Definetly something we need to do again. After it was over we came back to my house and cooked up a feast! It was a very fun day for alot of us who needed to relax after a long week, maybe nexttime we can get more planning and get more guys out there and a bigger boil goin, between the 3 of us we caught enough for 6 or 7 people. Sry know dive pictures, the offical Hellfish Photographer ( yeah, thats you Glen ) couldn't make it, so i just got some pictures of the aftermath.
Becky in the Kitchen, the master chef!

Looks like you guys had fun...
... little hint for next time. Leave the crabs that have eggs(that big cluster of orange on the bottoms). Its illegal to take them.

Sorry I missed the day. Looks like it was fun. I was standing by the Gulf, but not with a tank on. Had a beachside wedding rehearsal yesterday....today, we have to go dodge the rain and see if we can get the wedding done. Hopefully, we will have many more dive days now that summer is approaching. Man, I am ready for this crappy weather, tides, and high water to get out of here. Thanks for the pictures...why didn't you take some pictures with your awesome underwater camera....oh yeah, nevermind!

SuPrBuGmAn, it was a blast, wish there was more guys there to enjoy the food. For the blue crabs, we call OWC to get the reg on blue crabs, and i asked specifacly about female, and they didn't say anything to the contrary, do u know where the reg is for it, it would be good to have a reference because we couldn't find it besides saying the limit was 10 gals per person.

There's nothing legally against taking the females, its just an issue with taking females laden with eggs. THey do recommend leaving females in the water as the females apparently have a much larger impact on crab population.
