i went sunday and caught plenty but there really wasnt any size to most of them. only ended up keeping a little over a dozen due to the size of most of them. it was also bad weather but i didnt think that effected crabbing too much. usually you can catch enough if you start around sunrise to be done before lunch
Where'd ya go Salty???...I go out off Highway 434 off I12 headed towards Slidell, But you can catch some off Highway 61 almost too Laplace in canal off side there, Or take I10 towards Laplace and get off in Laplce therere a spot you can actually crab in the Lake off Pier or Go to Madisonville there place there too
There are some big crabs on the South Shore. We put some crab lines out near the bank after fishing the Twin Spans. Caught about 15 in one hour, and many were the big number ones. This was from a boat, but the shoreline along Irish Bayou should be just as good. Throw out several lines with turkey necks.
manchac and lake Pontchartrain both offer good crabbing if you don't want to travel too far
