That's exactly the same way we did it in exactly the same place when I was growing up. We'd fish the troughs between the beach and the first sandbar...usually 3 bars, next 2 troughs between them were too deep. Only difference is we used chicken scraps from a restaurant.
Had to work the crabs at the end of a full moon as they fed under the light and the claws and body cavities were full of meat; otherwise could be near empty. Had to watch out for the lungs; were told they didn't digest well....no reason to eat them anyway. Also did not keep females.
