Stone Crabs

Tony

I realize your propensity for always having to be "correct," but you are wrong on this one. I hate to argue where Stone Crabs are found, so I include one link for you. There are hundreds, find me one that shows them in the Southern Caribbean and I will believe you, otherwise I must believe you caught a blu crab, reef crab or whatever, they all will "pinch"

Josh, I'm not a "smart ass," I simply said "for all I know" indicating I didn't know what the picture showed, but it was not a stone crab.

First off the DR is not in the Southern Caribbean. It borders the northern Caribbean sea. Check out the Web site below which states that besides the US Stone crabs can be found in the Bahamas through the West Indies to the Yucatan.

If you notice I do not give my opinion to many of the posts on this site. I only address the ones in which I can give an educated opinion.

I think I will trust the US Oceanic webpage and that of Texas U over Sandy and Mindy's wonderful Caribbean webpage (Your reference).

If Stone Crabs were locally available in the DR, Turks and Caicos etc, they would heavily market them

Your webpage "reference" is about as beleiveable as your stint with the "CIA" :-)

Hey, "Gunny" you still get up early,and full of "****&vinegar",way to go!If there wer stone crabs the dominicans would sell them on every street corner! Criss

30 years is hard to get out of your system

By the way, Carl or MASTER GUNNERY Sgt would be appreciated :-)

"ROGER THAT" Carl, "criss"

Don't you ever absorb what you read. I never said I worked for the CIA!!!

One thing that still amazes me about the DR is the typical Dominicans ignorance of their own country. I have caught both Tarpon and Snook in the Rio's Ozama and Haina. Have you ever seen a Domincan with one? They don't eat iguana in the DR either but in Central America they are consumed by the locals.

Some people do eat iguanas, get better informed. But the majority of us think that Iguanas are not meant to be eaten (heck! I don't even eat meat). Let the poor iguanas, frogs and other small critters alone.

Some people eat roaches, do you?
