Looked like the rain was gonna hold off a while, so hooked up the trailer and drove over to the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay to launch at mid-morning. Set 8 traps in the shallower area of the turn-around used by the bouy tenders. Went off another 25 feet and put in some handlines. Between the two techniques, brought home a total of 27 jimmies, 6.25-7.50" after about 5 hours of crabbing. Released about 7 smaller ones. Looks like things are starting to turn around! I now have the fever! Wasn't a great day -- even got sprinkled on a little -- but believe that those days are coming!
