Absolutely.  I grew up lobster diving in south Fl as well.  I live on a bay, have a kayak so it only makes sense that I started dropping crab traps.  Been hoping for a stone crab since the season started but no luck.  Going to dive for them soon.  I have blue crab traps not stone traps so im wondering if a stone crab could even fit in my traps??  Thanks for responding, have a great week!!!!

I heard the largest crab caught in Florida was 10.5 inches caught in the Trout River north of Jacksonville.
Yes you can catch Stone Crabs in  Blue Crab traps! I catch them in my ring nets often.
