Winter Crabbing – Jan / Feb
Winter Picture’s,,,, Crab life also states:
For members wondering if the Crabbing Stops in our area,,,,No,,,the Crabber’s as you see are bundled up in warm gear and will continue to catch crabs right on thru the winter months up until the spring shedding season – In the winter of 1989 it actually got too cold to catch crabs,,,,31 years ago. It’s possible. It could happen again but not norm for our area.
