Wow what a great site!  I am very happy to have stumbled across it.  I would love to get a little info on where to buy a scapping net?  What is the typical length that you guys use?  I got a 6' net from Red Top yesterday in Buzzard's Bay , MA went out in my row boat, but the 6' er seemed a little short.       I am thinking maybe 8'-10' net would have been better, what is typical?  I went yesterday mid morning to Wareham, got 3 softies and 12 hard shells, I was pretty stoked.  I am not sure if tides make a difference or not, is low tide better than high tide and is it better to crab at night or during the day, early mornings, evenings?  Thanks very Much in advance.
