Beautiful day,  started dead low tide, crabbed 4 3/4 hrs.
Wind changed 3 times, every time for the worse.
By the time we quit, wind was steady against the tide, made it challenging to get a consistent pattern going.
My son and his friend both 19, and I ended the day with 86, pretty full bushel of 5" plus crabs.
One must have snuck out of our cooler, found this nice guy in the morning.

They were there, fortunately there was some wind.
Based upon the picture of the boys, we dress for the Greenheads, not a fashion show. lol
I was talking with another crabber, he was in shorts and tank top.
I asked him, wasn't he getting eaten alive, he used Avon Skin So Soft and Capt Ron's bug spray.
Avon lasts longer as per him.
More clothes,  works for us.

Thanks for the heads up. I was cleaning my chest freezer out and got to the bottom and started to smell some funk. Well long story short found those missing bunker and chicken I was looking for a year ago. Hopefully the crabs will enjoy still a frozen block.
