Sorry, Ileechef, but female crabs are available, more so from the Carolinas & Texas than the Cheaspeake area but they can be found here too. As to the roe, you get that by buying the crabs, but since it’s not really the season for breeding I don’t think you could find them with roe this time of year, when I get home tonight I’ll try to remember to add a link all about crabs & crabbing regulations.That OCDreamr, who has been know to sign herself as crabby!![:D]
I figured they could be found somewhere, but the rules for Jonah crabs coming out of Maine are NO FEMALES. But then, they can take stripers out of the Chesapeake around 18" while the legal limit in MA (a couple years ago when I fished and worked there) was 38"!!
