Haven't heard anything yet. I am suprised about this run. Figured the 1st one would be the new moon in May based on past years. Waters still cold. And no hard crabs back up in here. They are getting nice crab in the deeper water south of Saxis...

Hello Jack,
I'll be down in Cape Charles area some this summer and wondered if you had any advice for where to go crabbing. We catch some off the dock back up in the shallows of Kings Creek but I was wondering if we would do better with pull traps out in the main bay or trying the sea-side. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
thank you.

I don't know anything about traps but I would think you could find all the Sooks you can handle. Never done to well back in our creek. Maybe cause the oxygen levels are so low during the summer... Don't know. Sorry. |

If it takes a chicken and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, how long would it take for a squirrel with a wodden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle? Think about it, or not.
