October 2020 Florida Report- St Lucie River- Palm Beach, Martin, St Lucie County

[Jimmies and Sooks]

In the months of August and September 2020 the crabbing in the St Lucie river has been pretty good. However, crabbing was not good this year during June and July for some reason.
Personally, I crab way up the river on the north fork of the St Lucie River and I've had good success(for the area) catching between 15-20 crabs after a 24-48 hour soak of my crab pots.
I will try and document everything on Youtube for people that live on the Treasure Coast and want to see what's going on. I've been crabbing for stone crab lately just to switch it up.

Feel free to visit my Channel- "Jimmies and Sooks". I'm not looking for YouTube fame just want to share what I know and maybe just help Southeastern Floridians that also love to crab. I have little tips and experiments in these videos... things that work and things that don't.

Here is my most recent trip out:

Glad to hear you are doing well!
Crabbing is not too great in Volusia County!
Hasn't been since those back to back hurricanes!

Thank you guys. Definitely not doing too bad down here but I'm hoping next year is better. June and July this year was a bust.

that's a lot of work in that kayak for those crabs.  Like you said to FWC, nothing beats a day on the water.  Enjoy them!

Stone crabbing is a good way to feed the hunger of a slow blue crab year.
