Hi I will be crabbing at the IR Bay next week and the week after. Just wondering exactly what type of emales you can keep. Obviously not with egg sack but trying to remeber the shape of the bottom of a mature female. Also please check me out if youy are on the water. SICK DAY white Center console Wellcraft
Thanks!

Over 5" and no eggs.
the mature female's apron looks like a 1/2 moon, the immature female's apron looks more like a slice of pizza.

actually its 41/2
and my theory is because they are morons( not the people, the lawmakers)....guess they never wanna catch big crabs.
I kept nothing under 5" in jersey and wish MD would be 5 1/2"
and i know delaware regulations.... I was busting on Rapp...he said " decent" "under 5"" they do not go together
