    Blue claw crabbing starts to get good in June. By July crabbing is hot, yet the best month is August. The crabs usually stick around to September, then by October they slowly disappear.

    I hear its pretty easy to catch crabs in NY. Oh wait, you mean the ones you can eat! Im not sure about new york, but in Louisiana you can pretty much catch them anytime. Ive always heard that they are best just before the full moon.
