Well for starters, commercially we are getting about 20 boxes a day, mostly sooks though with about 3 bushels of #1's and 3 bushels of #2's outta that....all rest is girls.
Oldest sons birthday was yesterday(19) and he wanted to go to Lake Mattamuskeet for a change in crabbing. Well went a bit late (around 8ish) and found out due to grass floating every where, good spots were limited. Lot's and I do mean lots of people down there. Now the good news, caught 3 doz JUMBOS  all of them where over 7" average was  7 1/4" only stayed for 2 1/2 hours. Water was also high, I am thinking since Hanna, we got some extra rain, the wind stirred the grass and today was NE.
Did however catch a 12" crab.....SORRY no ruler, the one on cooler just wasn't long enough.....did not have a camera wife dropped it(for real) and I can't figure out the cell phone one.....BTW gave the crab to my neighbor......LOL laugh laugh laugh laugh

A word of note, if anyone of you plan, or your friends plan to come down to the lake to crab, this is the time to do it up until Nov I hope again. Crabs we caught were in 2' on the average. I scraped some up that were in about 6" of water. Let me know, I can meet anyone  except most Sat, morns have kids cross country meets then and Tues morns. Crab been biting the best from about 6 am to about 11am then again at 3pm to almost dark.
