Very familiar with the area.  Your subject line reads Eastern Bay/Crab Alley/Kent Narrows.  Can you describe where you actually crabbed or not in favor of sharing your hot spots?

Was at Crab Alley a few days ago and tried everywhere from the open water to creek behind the island and had no luck.

55 to a bushel!  That's some big crabs.  I am hitting the Crab Alley area tomorrow morning.  Any suggestions to location/water depth?

well, talking to some watermen and some other crabbers it is really slim pickins some days and others are hot. one guy ran a 600 ft trotline on thursday at crab alley and caught a half in 1.5 hours. the waterman were out yesterday til 12 to fill a basket. and another thing today is that there were two peole that came in with a bushel me and the guy who crabbed 100 feet way everyone else had a doz or 2 so.....i can tell you one thing though the crabs are big and they are to be found in shallow water. when i say shallow i mean 3 to 5 feet. As for spots to go. i launch from shipping creek and go almost out to the mouth of eastern bay. i would advise trying any little creeks/inlets you can get your boat in. and i can not tell my exact spot because it is a sure thing for me always has been and you just have to know the COVE.
