We went crabbing last weekend and I decided to cast a line while we were there.
Made another trip and caught some nice bull reds! The smallest one was 34 inches

When I was a kid in Florida a couple of times we went crabbing at night in the gulf with a spotlight and a net. The males or females I can't remember which would swim on the top and all you had to do was scoop them up and dump them in the boat. I miss those days.
The females come in the surf at a certain time of the year and you can just scoop them up with a light and a net! That’s a lot of fun!

Nice mess of crabs and reds! In Florida we can only keep one red per person and cannot gig a crab anymore. They must be trapped or netted. Idiocy.
We can keep 5 reds per person but only one over 27 inches per person, there was 3 of us. We have to use a trap or nets for crabs too.
