RD sent us snow for April 1. Any crabs look good now. I'm afraid our season won't start till it's time to end.

If it takes a chicken and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, how long would it take for a squirrel with a wodden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle? Think about it, or not.

Hey Ron I was wondering how you grade the crabs? What is the difference between a number 1 and 2?

Yeah Ronnie, we had snow up here a week ago. Still lots of cold water coming into the bay from up north. Gotta head way south. Even your weather as of late hasn't been spectacular. Better days my friend. |

Yeah Larry
Monday was pretty rough. Winds blew hard, gusted to 90 mph mid Lk Pontchartrain. Temps dropped to mid 60's on Tuesday. Today Friday it was back up to mid 80's and possible upper 80's tomorrow.
Another cold front comming Monday. Temps suppose to drop down to a high of 80. HAHA some cold front.
Big male still chasing females. Took 5 hours trying to find my traps from Monday's storm. Going again on Saturday to try to find more traps. Going crabbing on Wednesday next week. I'll keep in touch.
Ronnie

I don't know about where he is selling but where I sold my crabs a #1 had to be 6 1/2" or larger male. Any male smaller and all females were considered #2 crabs. Warren |
