All, Ive been out 3 times in the past 2 weeks during evening hours and the crabbing seems to have slacked off a ton, 1000' line with necks yeilded 3 doz in 3 hrs, though we had many undersized. I havent had the time to get out early but the evening bite seems to have slacked, Im only going out about 1/4 mile past the SR Bridge but in May and Early June I was getting 2 bushel. Should I go further out or are others experiencing this as well

It's pretty dead right now ! I usually do good in the coves off the river in shallower water !

May and Early June I was 12 to 10', last evening I tried 13 - 8' on the 1000 line and the yeild was very low, picked up about 8', then I moved to a 5 to 7', there were more crabs in the 5 to 7' ranges but again, only got 30 crabs in several hours. I just rebaited tonight and am headed out in the early am to try my luck.. Will report when I get back.
