Let's talk crab! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have been wanting to do this. I skipped lobster season, because I simply wasn't properly outfitted and daytime is a better time for me in general as a novice. There's a couple things holding me back:

1. I heard that the only usable meat on a rock crab is in the claws and forearms. It feels a little wasteful for my liking if this is accurate.

2. I'm not looking forward to Eco-vigilantes assuming I'm poaching lobster. Does that ever happen to anyone?
