Squat Lobster - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tanners · 05-20-2015, 07:03 AM

There has been tuna crab blanketing the coast for 3-4 months now. All of the islands yellows I am catching are full of them and I'm sure the LJ yellows are too.

I've heard that there is a difference between tuna crab and squat lobsters. Something to do with squat lobsters only being found in Northern California. I could be wrong.

Call them whatever.
Crabs have evolved (if you believe that) their tail folded up under their bodies. No crabs have articulating tails.
