Default Re: Fiddler crabs 🦀

Fiddler crabs used to be the go to bait and were fairly inexpensive. From shore, the Pt. Pleasant canal and off the rocks at Manasquan and Shark River inlet were incredible. You wouldn't believe on such a small bait the size blackfish we caught growing up in the canal. Like Skolmann said, you'd buy a pint or quart size like in a Chinese take out and when the tide wasn't ripping you'd have non stop action and unlike the smaller black fish caught today there were routinely bruisers taken in the canal.
