I say it every year - flawed methodology. If they still have any old time watermen working the boats in the survey, they probably shake their heads wondering why they're even bothering to dredge a bunch of spots. If the computer picks a bunch of random spots that the crabs like and normally bury for the Winter - the numbers look great. If the computer randomly picks a bunch of spots where the crabs don't like the conditions and don't bury - the numbers go down. Just because some mathematician at a University designs a model or system doesn't mean it works.

They are still catching little crabs. The big ones don't feed anymore.

I'm here Ray. I still believe the same. I agree with what Mikie said. The dredge report is not an indication of harvest prediction in my opinion. Let's see how it turns out. The juvenile counts last year where crazy. I'm hoping to get them this season.

I think we are all hoping for the same.

They sure got this one wrong. They've been doing this for 25 years.
