When is soft shell crab season? We are in soft shell crab season along the Gulf Coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. It usually starts in early April and runs through October or early November. The season runs longer than the Chesapeake or East Coast. We see very few crabs after the water temperature drops below 50Â°F.
For example: 1  Small, immature crabs have a short 10-20 day molting cycle which does not correlate to the lunar cycle. 2  Legal-size hard crabs have an approximate 30 day molting cycle. 3  Large hard crabs (those with a molting cycle in the 40-50 day range) are scarce and therefore are not monitored as closely.
