do you think people read these posts and then go to where they hear the crabs are being caught?
Ide say a good bit. Some will just try their "spot", but those who are adventurous will follow the reports.
BM I think it might have a lot to do with how far people are traveling to go crabbing. I travel 4 hours to the Wye River and only get to crab 3 or 4 times a year. I really don't have the time to "explore " new areas, no matter what the reports are. I do think if I lived an hour or an hour and a half away I would definitely try new Rivers. I've crabbed 4 or 5 different rivers in Md. but not because of the reports on the forum. I have been invited by members to crab with them and was happy to accept.
