  <<< Nope... Never seen softshell crabs here. I dont know if it's
illegal to take them here - I do know we have crabbing
seasons, bag limits, and size limits, and no crabs with roe. >>>

How do you know whether a crab has roe before splitting it open? I  
could see a rule about not taking female crabs during certain seasons  
or some such, because it should be possible to tell the difference  
between male and female crabs without killing them, but how would you  
tell without harming the crab or roe, whether a female crab had roe  
or not?
