Crab in the canal were hit extremely hard earlier this season by the local tribes. They had an "emergency" opener just a few days in a row before sport season started and did their best to harvest most of the keepers. I can't remember without looking it up but I think they hauled in about 16,000 lbs per day for a few days straight. Friends of mine who live in the area said crabbing has suffered this year as a result.
