A former neighbor and friend from Annapolis sent me this. I caught many close to this size but this is the biggest I have ever seen.
The image isn't showing up for me, so I'm just going to assume it's a Pokemon
If it's the same image, it still isn't showing up. If it's a different image, then it also isn't showing up.
You didn't do anything wrong in attaching it, my network security just blocks a lot of the images depending on where they came from.
It was a picture of a 9 inch crab that was caught on the Eastern Shore. I used to crab a lot in the Eastern Bay and the Wye River on the Eastern Shore.
Wow ... almost double the legal limit.
I haven't crabbed a lot (I have done it a few times, with traps with my father and grandfather from a boat and then the chicken-neck-on-a-string kind a few times with friends), however my dive buddy had a dock at his house that usually had traps in the water.
We would take his boat from his house and go dive for oysters. Not on the Eastern Shore though, just a few miles up the Potomac from the Bay. When we came home we'd cook whatever crabs were in his traps and eat those along with whatever oysters we collected.
Yea they are, I took the boat on Sunday night down to Kentmorr Marina and had dinner with the wife, man, they were thick and delicious, even for XL and not Jumbos.
Crazy season in the Bay this year for fishing as well. I've been killing it Rock fishing trolling and chumming. Blue fish are running thick this year as well. A buddy of mine pulled a 60+ lb black drum a couple of weeks ago. Last night I went out and despite a very rough bay, we still pulled in a couple of keeper Rock and a bunch of blues.
I've got a 21 ft sea ray sundeck. Not necessarily geared to fishing. However I turned a cooler into a live well. I have a decent fish finder. I am about to purchase a trolling motor. How will this do in the bay? I don't want to be running into sand bars all day long. And do you ever go out near deltaville
I saw a guy pulling planer boards off of a pontoon boat. His boat's name was odd, "Rent Me", you can make damn near anything work on the bay man. I've got a 30 ft Grady White Marlin. I'm definitely one of the bigger boats out there fishing. I mostly see guys on 20-26 ft center consoles.
I don't trailer my boat, I keep it docked at my pier.
