This time last year at the #1 spot in New Smyrna people were catching 4 dozen and up each day. This year the crabs haven't shown up. Last Wednesday I checked it out and no one had caught any. I have no idea why. Maybe just in NSB or at this particular spot or people keeping females with egg sacs or something happened to their spawn. Good luck. ------------------------- waves waves waves and deep below none come, none go

Caught a handful of BlueCrabs... the were gross... they had black goo in their claws and legs... Never saw anything like it... a fungus? it looked like lumpy black paint... I'm afraid to even eat the fish in the area any more... ------------------------- We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits, perfect our government, insure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and guarantee equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this constitution.
