A crab trap in Montana sounds like a prop from the wrong movie. Montana has trout rivers, prairie reservoirs, cold mountain lakes, irrigation ditches, and rocky shorelines where crawdads tuck themselves under stones. What it does not have is a saltwater crab season. There are no blue crab pots, stone crab traps, Dungeness crab limits, […]
Read Guide →A Mississippi crab trap does not look like much when it slides over the side of a skiff. Wire, bait, rope, float, and a splash. Then the Gulf Coast tide takes over. A few hours later, that same trap may come up clicking with blue crabs, wet grass, and a smell that belongs to bayous, […]

Read Guide →A Maryland crab pot can look like a quiet little box at the edge of a pier. The float bobs, the line hums with the tide, and the bait does its slow work in the dark water. Then the pot comes up heavy, full of claws, mud, and the sound every crabber loves. But that […]
Read Guide →A Louisiana crab trap looks humble from the boat. It is a square of wire, a bait box, a line, and a float rocking in brown-green water.

Idaho has cold streams, big reservoirs, lava-rock banks, and plenty of crawdads under stones, but it does not have a coastal crab season.

Read Guide →A Delaware crab pot can look quiet from the bank, just a white buoy tugging at the tide while the marsh grass bends in the wind. Under the surface, though, the pot is doing real work. It is catching blue crabs, drawing in bait stealers, and sitting in water shared by boaters, turtles, fish, and […]
Read Guide →Alaska crabbing feels bigger than ordinary fishing. A pot drops into cold green water, the buoy rides the chop, and the bottom goes quiet while the bait works.
