Crabbing is family fun

Its hard to find a more laconic way to pass the summer hours than crabbing. To keep
children engaged, all you need is a net, and a hand line baited with bunker, mackerel or chicken. One child pulls the line up very slowly while another scoops the net
underneath the crab. Adults might want to use a small crabbing cage of course
dont forget to attach it to a string. Remember a blue crab (hard shell) must measure
4 inches from point to point to be legal, there is a recreation limit of one bushel.
