Stone crab season is officially OPEN 🦀
Before you go cracking claws, know the rules:
🦀 Claws only. The crab goes back in the water alive and regrows them
📏 Claws must be at least 2 7/8 inches
🪣 1 gallon of claws per person, 2 per boat (whichever is less)
🥚 Hands off egg-bearing females
🪤 Up to 5 traps per person, and register them free with FWC first
Pro tip: take just one claw so the crab can still defend itself and grow back faster. 🌊
Season runs through May 1. Mustard sauce on standby. 😮💨
Drop a 🦀 if you’re cracking claws this weekend!
