What's the best way to keep the crab before you mount it mounted.

Keep it in a Zip lock bag in the freezer , make sure the legs and claws are tucked in .  |

I tightly wrapped him in clear plastic wrap and put him in the freezer. January I was adding dear meat to the freezer and dropped the crab. Shattered into a dozen pieces. Oh well, Lesson learned. I'll have to catch another.

You will always catch more crabs with a DOT.NET than a DOT.COM

Yes it was a white crab. I've caught half and half but that one was all white. I've seen small ones but that crab was almost 7" with both claws and all his legs. Sooner or later I'll catch another one.

Tat,
Question: Did you shy away from using razor clams on the mount because the shells are too thin and brittle?

Just one of the few bad apples that keeps wizzing in the MSSA's and TF's milk. Not because I have violations (because I don't'), but because I'm catching the resources that they claim to own and have more rights to.

Yep . i like the mussels better . Hey Rich.. With all the talk of storing crabs in laundry baskets and coolers and the fact that a traditional wood basket is no longer in, I might have mine mounted onto my Coleman! Lmao.. |
