disclamer: this answer is assuming you are a non commercial fisherman catching from shore or boat with a dip net, trot line or landing net ( NO TRAPS PERMITTED EITHER STATE). There is no season for RI its always open you wont find them anytime other than end of June to end of aug but there is in MA closed 1/1 to 4/30 and alot of the prime crabbing grounds intersect so if you are onshore pay attn to what state you are in RI is 5" tip to tip and you must be or have a RI resident that is able to catch crab (in other words babysitting your friends kid who is from RI wont cut it)
in MA no resident requirement 4 1/8 tip to tip 50 crab per day same rules in the disclamer apply good luck and happy crabbing sry my spots a secret!!

Blue crabs, like lady crabs, are definitely swimming crabs. The largest population of the blue crab can be found in the Chesapeake Bay.

Mud minnows. You can catch them off your dock and they are very hardy. You can also try blue crabs and stone crabs. THey eat shrimp, but don't put those two crabs together
If their gills are kept moist, blue crabs can survive for 24 hours or a bit longer out of water. The typical life expectancy for blue crabs is 1 to 3 years, though they have been known to live as long as 8 years.
