If you could go anywhere for crab 🦀

Crabbing has declined in the last two years south island and I'm pretty confident by my observations that it is due to an increase in commercial sets. I wonder if this is due to the collapse of the Alaska snow crab fishery increasing the demand for 'crab'? Not all Debbie Downer though, last time out I got 45 dungies in two traps, mostly female with a few males. Only two were legal and to soft to keep. So if everyone behaves, they will come back.
