Hey all,
I was thinking about going Crabbing on the weekend of Oct. 3rd. Is the crabbing still decent this late in the season or should I not waste my money on renting a boat? Any advice is greatly appreciated

I love this time of the year........some of my best crabbing has been done in October. Went to the first week of November last year and wound up with a half a bushel.
I will be heading out on Friday........good luck if you decide to go!
