Dud of a day crabbing - after four hours, only caught two crabs (netted a mating pair). Dad caught nothing with his traps. Windy, though water less murky post-Maria. Talked to a police officer who regularly patrols the dock; he told me crabbers have not been doing well at all of late. Didn't do well either in our last outing a week and half ago. Maybe Hurricane Maria accelerated the end of our crabbing season over here?? May try again one last time - what can I say, need one last trip to get crabbing fever out of my system. Good luck to all!
