Consult the regs to be sure, but I think it's illegal to transport them over land. Too bad, cuz catching crabs (the kind you fish with) can be a lot of fun .
I think you mean crayfish not crabs lol....!!!you are allowed to have in possession or catch 36 crayfish per license and they are great for bass and pickeral!!!
See http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/LetsFish/2ColumnSubPage/STEL02_165361.html . The way I read it, you can possess them, but can't transport them over land. Not sure how you prove where you caught them...
yeah the reason you cant transport them is the rusty crayfish is invasive species . My father in law was talking about soft shell crabs I didn't know what he was talking about either until he told me how he caught them.
Soft shell crabs/crayfish are regular ones right after they molt and the shells have not hardened up. They are easily caught bey hand or in wire minnow traps baited with bread, or dead minnows. Excellent for fishing with.
