Haven't done enough crabbing over the years to notice a pattern regarding the best time of year to harvest crab, but have heard that any month with an "r" in it is preferable. Dropped my traps yesterday for the first time in ages and ended up with seven keepers. Was disappointed with the quality of the crabs as they were soft shelled and the legs were only half full at best. Has anyone else experienced this lately and when exactly are crabs at their prime?
