8/2/24 Menunketesuck

[CT crabby crabber]

Started day with a drive to Essex. By 6am, pier was occupied. Ran into a buddy there, chit chatted, then decided to go home, put platform on, load boat and accessories, head to Menunketesuck launch.

10 topless traps, chicken, an hour each side of high tide. 39 crabs. Chicken legs became chicken bones.
Had 4 big keepers in a net on 1 pull but net hit side of boat, wound up with 1 big keeper.

Crabbing from dock much less energy but wanted crab today. Needless to say, I'm wiped out and going to nap. Crabs are shucked and sitting in the oven waiting for me when I get up.
