It was a great day on Saturday. The wind was almost non existent, the water was clear and the tide was a perfect run off tide due to our full moon. Started the day by waking up god awful early. Splashed the boat before sun up and had the gear in the water just as the sun was rising. First run of the line told me it was going to be a good day. First pass 24 nice fat crabs in the basket. Continued crabbing and the crabs kept up a strong showing until roughly 7:30. Moved my line deeper and had a steady pick until 9:00am. I called it a day with a bushel and a half.
The crabs were better quality this week bigger and fuller. A lot of doublers.
Was using a trout line with chicken necks.
I saw three boats Saturday cruising the shallows hunting cow nose rays with bows. One boat was extremely interesting, it had a 15’ dear stand contraptions mounted on the bow. the gentlmen was sitting in the chair looking down for rays while his buddy drove the boat.
Gentlemen we have a new pastime.
This week’s menu will be crab soup, crab cakes, crab imperial, crab, crab and more crab.
Thursday I am venturing out into the Patapsco to chase some finned critters.
Good luck gang.
