Is crabbing open in Westport?

[trophyhunt]

Wife wants to get away for the weekend, can I cast for crabs off the pier Saturday ?

Just to be clear, using a casting type trap.

Its my understanding that only cages are closed, but rings and nets remain open.

So a tri fold casting trap is good then?

Thank you.  If we decide to go to open sores, can you get crab right off the pier where all the boats tie up? With the casting tri fold trap.

You probably could off the jetty.

Having been casting in quite some time... But I do got some chicken backs getting stinky. Might be time to go get some grub.
