Blue Crabs in Milford
Message:
Not sure if people even are looking for crab reports here. I went on a falling tide at a popular Milford location and did not do so hot - 3 keepers and one soft shell. Didn't really observe a lot of shorts. The only remarkable occurrence was some sort of freak event; I was going along the rocks to look for crabs and I saw what looked like an eel sitting in about a half inch of water. I figured it was dead or dying and it's gills weren't moving (although gill flap movement on eels differs from other fish). I went to examine it and lift it out of the water since it was lifeless and of course, the moment I tried to grab it, it bolted away. Crabbing has been slow for me but I'm also not hitting ideal tides.

I haven't been looking at the crab reports, but I think it would be interesting to go sometime. I'm in the Milford area, if you're around and going out crabbing and wouldn't mind a tag along sometime let me know. I'm working on getting my freshwater fishing gear in order and trying to find some time to go.

It's kind of slow going as of late, I'll certainly let you know if it picks up. Coincidentally, I've been trying to get into the Air Force lately. :)
