    Cool pics. That "spider" looking crab is an arrow crab. And I've watched a car sink at a launch before.

    That would be so cool to go get your own fish from the ocean like that. Prime example of when people don't use there heads, that sucks about that truck. I think they were going to take some fish home too , and too much water lol

    Thanks mission, now I have a name for the spider looking crab.

    Yeah Johnny, thats the Crandon Park Marina(just past the seaquarium over the bridge on the right hand side). We go out under throught bridge and a few miles out to fish and look at reefs...This past weekend we only caught one lobster, a hog fish, and a gray trigger(+ the tropical stuff).

    Just so ya know... I just sold my arrow crab to one of the LFSs . He'll eat your snails and hermits. He will also kill small sleeping fish.
    Here's a funny video of an arrow crab stealing food.

    Great catches, be careful of the Arrow Crab, that crab is an S.O.B. Next time you want some Flame scallops, let me know. I can tell you where to get it right from the shore line, no need to take out the boat. I also launch from Crandon Marina. Luna

    Hey luna if you ever need any hermits... southern tip of South Beach at the rocks..there's a zillion of them there. Not sure about regulations.
