BEST DAY EVER! Full sun but not hot, winds 3-4mph, Minimal boat traffic
In at 10:30 (high tide at noon) out at 3, got one first pull! Used fresh bunker from Pell's Bait Shop, Brick.
Got about 15 jimmies in all. 5 small jimmies and 2 females caught & released. Latest modification was to add a float to my catch bag that hangs off the side. It was a god send! Bag became detached with 3 hours worth of caught crabs. I paddled 5-600ft before finally found it floating next to last trap I had checked.

Kayakcrabber nice report  and good to see nice size crabs still hanging around. good thing the current was not strong at that time or you would have to paddle to seaside Heights to retrieve your bag.

Sounds like a great day to be out on the water. Some good looking crabs for a nice meal, enjoy. Thanks for the report.

Not quite sure why you would put a cooler on the hood of your truck, you could have taken that picture anywhere. I guess you don't give a sh it about your truck. Take care of your truck and it will take care of you.

Thank you Paisano! Yup! Sure glad it was slack water!

Thanks Noreast! Love this time of year as boat traffic minimal.
