Fiddler Crabs

[westbay grasshoppa]

Does anyone know of an area tha is good for harvesting fiddler crabs?!?

[FP10]

East beach has a ton of them. They are the ones that run around on the sand at 60MPH right?

[westbay grasshoppa]

yeah...with the one big pincher. They make a great bait if you can catch them!

You know I never see any around here for some reason. At Matagorda they're thick....
The ones running on the beach are Ghost Crabs.

Is this what you are looking for! What are you feeding crabs to some hungry reds.

This is a picture of two bay fiddler crabs.

they are good bait for reds ,drum,sheephead and flounder. i used them alot when i lived in florida ,not as easy to find them around here.

I've found em on the north shoreline of Jones lake west of where the railroad tracks break away from the marsh on the shoreline.

Bonefish love 'em, I can tell you that. A small jig tipped with a little fiddler or hermit crab......they can't resist it!
