I decided that since I cant leave dock with my second son due a week from monday to go crabbing.

I dont know if anyone else crabs but man the crabbing is incredible this year. 4 hours and we got at least 40 keepers that were well over the size requirement.

Anyone else find that towns seem to be adopting the same policy of selling badges now to crab? This has to be illegal. I had to fork over $5 bucks to crab from island heights shores or receive a summons.

I'll be down the shore from Aug.13-27....The house is right on the bay with a dock....The cages will be in the water 24/7 baby!!!! I can't wait!!!!

they are doing that so we can pay for the trash can's lynda wants us to have so bears don't come and eat our Crab trash....

Thats BS (charging for a crab tag)... thats like scamming the F&W.

Hmmm.... then again... no license required for brackish/salt water fishing.

Ive been researching this since yesterday. Apparently they are charging for the badges so they can keep the small boardwalk instead of sidewalk "maintained". My problem is, they used to have a concrete sidewalk and I didnt have to pay to use that. They also have the signs up at the end of the dead end streets where the bulk heads are.

If I threw waders on and crabed from the water, would i not be in the town anymore?
