Last summer we rented a house on the bay with a boat slip in grand isle. My sister's family shared it with us (they are from CA) and my neices and nephews had so much fun playing with the hermit crabs in one of the boat slips (too much sediment to use). They made an entire hermit crab habitat lol. All I caught was catfish though. If you catch rock crabs, you can take one claw and then have to throw the crab back. It will regrown the claw (I think). I couldn't stand the thought of ripping the claw off a live crab, so I threw it back whole. My Other BIL (has a family camp on grand isle) told me I was missing out on a delicious crab claw.
