Sometimes it depends on if they’re running. “Sometimes you have freshwater that has saltwater influence. “Crabbing depends on where you’re at recreationally,” Marx said. In fact, all across Louisiana’s coastline there are so much public crabbing opportunities you just might need an increase in your budget for a new wardrobe.Īnd the mid-summer months tend to be the best when it comes to recreational crabbing, according to LDWF Crustacean Biologist Jeff Marx. The island has several weirs and water-control structures the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has set up for recreational crabbing and shrimping. And all of us caught our 12 dozen limits that day.” “I came out here with my brother and godchild,” Scully said. While dumping some pretty crabs he just caught into a basket, Scully said he’d had trips like the one that family was enjoying. Someone I happened to strike up a conversation with while out on the island was Howard Scully, a native of Morgan City who resides in Baton Rouge. There we were, with not one piece of chicken or crab bait in the boat to switch to a plan B.Īnd that family was catching the tasty crustaceans like nobody’s business. With nothing more than a few pieces of string, plenty of chicken and dip nets, they were catching crabs - the pretty blue-clawed kind. With the intent of catching a few fish, we arrived at one of the island’s many weirs, where several families were having a blast.
