We ignored the weather report and took my 20 Moose traps (nice even number again) with chicken necks for some work downriver. My brother-in-law and his 2 grandsons worked the traps from 10 AM til 1:30 PM on incoming tide, in 85f water. Our take was 67 keepers and about twice as many shorts. As we washed off the traps one of the crew tested his crab handling skills on the nastiest jimmie this side of SP.  . We heard him yelliing and thought he was over-acting, then realized affter half a minute that nasty little critter (the crab) still had his forefinger in a. ...uh...crabhug.  Crew is now in stablecondition. Pics to follow. |

Why is the kid crying in the last picture? Something about getting his "crabbing license" maybe?  |
