Crabs usually run in the early part of August. I'm just trying to find out if they have shown up yet on the beach before I make a trip.

Also heard that you can't crab on Elmer's Isle or Fourchon beach. Anyone else hear this?

theres a sign on Elmers saying no crabbing, I was out at the bridge the other night and the water was full of crabs. Some guy out there had a modified pool net about 20 feet long and was just scooping them out of the water.

Crabs lines, nets, traps all up & down Elmer's. Don't think signs are still up. Crabs are there & full.

Just back from the island. Plenty of crabs in the surf. Running best in the morning on an incoming tide. Caught plenty in the traps and on a line with chicken necks.

Me, my son and my neighbor and his son went Friday evening from 3:30 to 8:30 and Saturday from 6:30 to 9. We caugt well over 400 crabs, kept about 190 or so. Used turkey necks on ring nets. Knee deep in the coves. We caught best right at dark Friday.
