Here is a question...

I have a licensed boat (Ches Bay Sportfishing) which comes with a complementary crabbing license.  A friend has the same license.  Can we both crab out of the same boat with sixty traps (30 traps per license) in Maryland?  

I think we can keep up to two bushel with this arrangement.

You can keep two bushels that's the max, but I don't know about the trap total per boat with two licenses

  To play it safe, I'd go with 30 traps for both of you and IF you catch 2 bushels of crabs, call it a day.  Where the heck are you gonna keep 60 traps anyway on your boat?  30 traps is plenty!!!

TWO BUSHELS FOR REC. CRABBERS ON A PIER? I WAS TOLD BY GAME WARDEN ONLY 2 DOZEN CRABS FOR EACH PERSON EACH DAY
