Capt. Chris's Crabbing Report
Labor Day Update - Aug 28th, 2008
**UPDATE**
YES, we have crabs for labor day. We are selling out fast though, so PLEASE get your orders in now if you'd like them in time for the holiday. We are crabbing on Friday and expect to land another 25 bushel or so. the cooler is stocked and we are ready. The crabs are the prettiest they have been all year. Nice big, black, heavy crabs, and full of meat!
Tight lines. . . Capt. Chris
If you are interested in frozen soft shell crabs or
fresh Bay oysters, please contact us throughout the winter. We have
them in stock!
Legend:
A "Bushel Basket" does not contain a specific number of crabs.
It is a traditional, wooden basket and holds different amounts based on the
size of the crabs. Our bushels are stuffed full with tops bulging.
"Market Size" refers to the typical nomenclature that you would be
familiar with if you ordered these crabs in a restaurant or crab house.
"Cull Size" simply means the "cut-off" size which we use to determine
the classification of a crab while "culling" them on-board the vessel.
Male crabs must be at least 5 1/4 inches to keep according to Maryland law,
and there is no size limit on Mature Females. Immature females and
Sponge (egg-bearing) crabs must always be returned to the Bay.
ALL CRABS ARE SOLD LIVE - NEVER EAT A DEAD CRAB!!!
