Got out in the boat this past weekend (Jan. 27), first time since September. Caught a few good size crabs, but found that most were quite soft in that the legs etc. were maybe 60-70% full of meat. The bodies seemed quite full, but the legs not so much. For those out there that do a fair amount of crabbing, do you find times of year that produce firm, completely developed bodies. I once heard that you should go in months that have an "r" in them, but I have found this not to be the case. I recall catching some of the best crabs in July and August.
