wye, of my! Oct 19

Went to the Wye today, last trip of the year, our first year crabbing. Caught two bushels: 1.5 bushel of medium to mumbo males and 1/2 bushel of large females. Tried 25-10 feet of water and found them in 12-15 feet. What a pleasant surprise for us as the best we had so far was 3/4 of bushel after long hard work. Today it was just a miracle. The spots we knew of were taken today and we picked a new spot, and what a result! Home before rush hour and lots of crabs to steam (lots of friends to call too!)
Met a few BCA fellows today, also for the first time. Was nice meeting you, guys. Will try to take part in some of the parties from now on. (We were in a 16' Penn Yan - asian girl with a blond blue-eyes husband
)
Good luck to those of you heading there on the weekend!

closer to the mouth, the water temp got up to 60 degrees and crabs run excellent between 9-11 ish, then slowed down but still picked up 1/2 bushel by 1pm.

Thanks, guys. We had friends over and only managed to consume a bushel last night. Saved another one for the weekend. Shame our football team is on 'by' this weekend, otherwise would do a football party.
Our crabbing spot is not really a secret, I am sure almost all of you go past it towards the mouth. Green marker and red triangle is within the area we were crabbing in.
