Blue Crabs

I wonder if these crabs we refer to as Blue Crabs are the same as the ones
up north?
The ones here are mostly on ground or under the ground, but I have seen them
under water.
I know that some people eat them. Nobody ate Stone Crabs before Joes opened
up. So go figure.

I live in South Florida and we get large blue crabs at this time of year.
I know I have some in the yard right now. I saw one on the bottom of a
pool
last week.
Anyone ever loose fish to these guys.

They aren't. I've lived in both places (Maryland and Florida) and have
seen both species. They are *definitely* not the same.
