Fiddle Crabs for bait?

[sharkfutbol]

Someone told me Fiddler crabs or the  small crabs with ONE big pincher  are good bait.  Is this true and how much do they sell for.

They can be good for reds and drum as are any crabs. I have never heard of anyone selling them. Just catch them on the shore near where you fish. You can catch the usually seen blue crab and get the same results. According to how big of a fish you are going for, either crack it and fish with the whole big crab or shell it and use half of it or less for smaller drum and reds.

Never seen them for sale.  Get by the water where there are rocks and turn one over.  Always fiddler crabs around.  Can't say i ever fished with them either, but don't see why a red or drum would not eat one.
