I've been out roughly 4 times this week, mainly at night and have had excellent luck catching these things. mainly in the old lyme and niantic areas. many smalls and egg bearing females to weed out but all in all I've had decent numbers of keepers on each trip. Most were caught simply walking the flats in 2 - 3 feet of water with a long net and a flashlight. I also had some good luck in th great island area from the boat using traps. either way if crabbing is your thing then now would be a good time to get out there at night and give it a try.
