It not over yet and the crabs are not as deep as you might think.  They aren't even dropping off the trotline yet.

dropping off trotlines? this is my first crab season  Late in the season, the water temperature starts to drop, and the water clears. When that happens, some of the crabs will not come to the surface on trotline baits. Some people say its because they feel the difference in the tempearture, and drop off to stay in the warmer, deeper water. You see some people switching to traps, which catch the crab on the bottom.

I think they do, most of the ones I catch in December are in wheelchairs, they still have their claws but there is always a toadfish in the trap with them. I think the toadfish is pushing the chair........
