I spent my youth fishing for blue crabs. On Friday night, I’d go to the grocery store and use my own money to buy like $.60 worth of crab backs. Then I would leave them out overnight in the Virginia heat and then in the morning I would tie literally a piece of twine to the chicken throw it into the water and then you gently pull them back in because they crabs won’t stop eating even when you’re pulling the line in slowly. I probably caught my first crab when I was seven.
Later (age 10?) I use my own money to buy two crab traps which was much easier. Same bait. Saturday morning I’d throw it in and by Saturday at lunch I usually had enough for at least me to have a crab lunch and sometimes the rest of my family lol. It was glorious.

My favorite! I’m in Dungeness land, which is amazing, but blue crabs will always win in my mind.

You need to get those crabs treated… To a bath in boiling liquid with old bay seasoning. =D

Blue crabs are having a really tough time right now. Please don’t harvest the females. Especially in NC

Ive crabbed the infamous Wye River off the Chesapeake numerous times years ago. We’d get there at the crack of dawn and have a bushell of Jumbo males by lunch time- by hand lining. It was a lot of fun, and we’d have a family crab feast at home aftewards. I miss that so much. Crab prices have got pretty expensive to even buy them anymore sadly.
