Topsail Crabbing with the kids.

Hi guys.  Looking to take the kids crabbing somewhere in Topsail Island.  Any good places we can try with hand lines or traps?  What is the legal size?

Sound side park is a good spot for the kids- Lots of dock area and public bathrooms. Legal size is 5 inches from point to point on the shell- minimum . 50 crabs per person, per day.  No limit on the amount of hand lines or traps but I believe the traps can be no wider than 16 inches.

Great info.  Thanks man.
