So much emphasis was placed on the CRC legislation that I lost track of the possibility of longer seasons but I do know that crabbing will be open at the same time all over instead of the usual practice of blaming soft shell on the extended closures in area by area. The tribes crab all the time ....I don't know who buys their soft shell crabs. Obvioously since the CRC is new we won't necessarily benefit right away. I do think things will be somewhat better this season thanks to making the disparity between commercials and sports crabbers more obvious to the policy makers. We are all over this and expect to see more good things happen if we can all stick to it.
