I understand that you used bunker for bait, but what method did you use?

never keep any females a personal thing kinda like c&r fishing method was 3 strings in some current and a net pretty basic, current seems to be the key they hold on, incoming usually better in my opinion l think the conditions were optimum for whatever reason in my 25+ yrs of crabbin' don't remember a better haul might have had something to do with last yrs bait population? can't be the amount of bait this year @ the mouth seems significantly less so far, to me anyway on a side note, to bad about the outflow although it might make better fishermen out of some
