The greatly disappointing spider crab. My friends and I went crabbing at Captree, LI. yesterday, and while it wasn't plentiful, we did catch several spider crabs. Covered in seaweed and drenched in water, our cages are constantly filled with these critters, tricking us, nay mocking us, with the lack of blue crab we caught. In the end of the day, we left the winners as we all got ourselves a meal, and all these little monsters got was a vertical trip back to salvation.View On Black
