Blue Crab Industry Advisory Committee Meeting

[Big Liar]

Hope the DNR doesn't monitor this site. Easy to see why there is some much concern over who's telling the truth with crab reports, LOL. But I will say  that most folks I know do what's right, but there are some who do what they want. But it happens, maybe more then we know.

 Be interesting to see what happens when the DNR tries to enforce this change. Maybe technology will be used like they do with other  poachers they catch during illegal hours.  Unless they get more help, enforcement will be tough.

I always tell the truth.

So you are crabbing illegally?

WOW now it is 16 , do I hear 17 and then 18 ! At 20 you should be GONE ! All you ever preach about is the female crabs, put em back. There must be a balance in nature, can't you see that ? I don't keep the she crab but I DO NOT BLAST SOMEONE WHO IS DOING IT LEGALLY !
