Late Season Crabbing...

One would think that the crabbing will soon be tapering off. Even though we knew the morning would be very chilly and near frost conditions, we bundled up and headed out to give it another try at Wye Mills. I was figuring that this might be the slow crabbing trip that will show us the crabbing is nearly done. I was wrong. We nailed down another two b-bulging, lid busting bushels in less than 3 hours of crabbing! We used the trot line method in about 7-8 feet of water but its likely this method will begin to fail. The crab pot/trap method will work better as the water temp gets colder. As good as it went, I am thinking we might just have to try another trip next weekend. Once again, here are pics that reflect another great day on the water....

Lid Busting!


B-Bulging!
