    i guess it's all the rain and bad water but man the blue crabs have vanished. Me and my brother went yesterday but only got 14 medium mostly females. We been gettin 3-6 dozen every day all big number 1 males but they seem to be gone for now. Went this morning for a quick grocery trip and got a fairly quick mess of 60 whites and ground mullet then left em biting and headed in for the honeydos before more rain starts tomorrow.

    Every time you lost a picture with an ice chest full of fish with no ice I think you better clean the fast.

    I take one fish at a time out of the ice filled cooler and as soon as a filet it I put the filets in a stainless steel bowl full of ice.

    As I've said before they on plenty ice. Still on ice now actually gonna clean em tomorrow. Ice stays in bag while fishing. Pull bags out for pic then break open bags and pour on top. Shake ice chest a few times and they are packed in good.
