Should I crab at outer banks?

We used to go crabbing with turkey necks tied to a string. It was pretty fun, but I guess a net would be more efficient.

 

I used to have a casting net that I took to the beach. I used to catch shrimp and crabs in it. I also caught a flounder once.

Are you referring to Dungeness crabs? They're illegal to catch here in California and only allowed to catch Rock Crabs.

 

I'm driving up to Sacramento and San Francisco for Memorial Day and going crabbing at the San Francisco Municipal pier. Tons of crabs there. If you get caught with a "blue crab" it's a $1,000 fine per crab.

Legal in North Carolina. You don't even need license if u crab at private property.

I went out crabbing on the OB when I was a kid. We had a big plastic bucket, a string and a chicken drumstick and we caught one after another until this huge bucket was almost overflowing.

 

These things would clamp down on the chicken and literally try to fight you for it and play tug of war as you dragged them in. Then we'd just pick it up off the ground and shake it over the bucket until they fell off. It was comical just how stubborn and easy to catch these things were.

    • I think taking T-Mac changes how to look at XL and the season he had, especially in retrospect. If you look at his rookie season from the viewpoint of "we traded into the 1st round to take him as our #1 WR of the future" then yea, he had a god awful rookie season and I'd be scared about his future.  But we've now drafted T-Mac, it allows us to now go back and look at XL's rookie season in a totally different light. XL was a late bloomer, essentially having only one college season of experience, he was always going to be VERY raw last year.  If we knew at the time that one year later, we'd have a true #1 and XL "only needs to be a future #2 and potentially doing it from a power slot position" then I'm not so sure he had all that bad of a rookie season. Because he still had 49 catches for 500 yards and 4 TDs, which really is a pretty darn good rookie season for a player as raw as XL was/is, especially when you consider the QB struggles we had last year, and even once Bryce turned things around a bit, we were still a run based team and Bryce's stats were anything but mind-blowing.   Personally, I think it's one of those situations where people are too focused on the negatives with XL and not seeing all the positives and potential he has given how raw he still is. If he's worked on his craft and cuts back on his drops, it's very reasonable to think he could be a 70 catch, 800 yards, and 5 TD type of player for us in year 3 when he's the #2 after Thielen is gone. How many teams have that type of talent as their #2 WR behind a guy putting up 1,200+ and 10 on a yearly basis as their #1 as I fully expect T-Mac to be doing? Then if Coker also improves slightly and is kicking in 600-700 yards himself, then you've built yourself a Top 5 WR room.
    • Mel Kiper's long illustrious history would also indicate that neither does Mel Kiper. It's almost like this poo isn't an exact science or something and that there's a lot of different variables that go into whether or not a guy is successful. It's just that according to Mel Kiper, everyone else is an idiot and he's perfect. LOL 
    • Pats traded randy moss to aquire Ryan Mallett.  Insane. Guess Mel Kiper was right. NFL doesn't know how to evaluate quarterbacks
