Well, we went and got some crab bait yesterday, as the tide was out on our beach....
The crabs love clams, they even crawl up onto these beds when the water covers them.
At night you can wade and scoop them up, just watch your toes
Ran out to my spot, dropped the traps, anchored up, and went for a swim in the 90 degree weather, too HOT!!!!.....
IT WAS COLD.......
The water, brrrrrrrr.......
But it felt good, once back on deck.
Fished a little, and decided to go peek at the traps.
A quick run back out to them, Denise thinking she would pull the first trap....
She couldn't.
It was stuck to the bottom.
So, I had to go pull it instead.......
It was heavy, with big old crab!
The cooler was plugged in no time, with limits after just pulling 2 traps, with 2 more to go.....
We had to toss back about 7 male keepers, goodness, that is good crabbing.
My wife holding one of the typical sized crabs......and Bot, she has BIG hands, uh, she needs them, if you know what I mean
Proof is in the pudding, crab with melted butter and home grown green beans, out on the deck, for dinner.....
Oh, had to have Crab Benedict for breakfast, of course.....
And here are the left-overs......lol!
Going back out this evening.....
I could sure use some help, eating this stuff
