Feel your pain regarding crabbing the Slaw. I launched my kayak yesterday from the beautiful cove beach near the crabbing dock at low slack and worked three pots for about three and a half hours. I did manage to get nine crabs but they were as small as they legally could be and many were only about 50% filled out. Also, as you mentioned, many had missing claws. Strangely, no green crab for me. It was, however, a beautiful day on the water.
