[CT crabby crabber]

Crabbed 5 hours (very long for me) incoming tide. 6 nets, chicken legs. Coaxed Crabaholic to take the trip to join me. He stayed longer than I did.

Just like King Crab said in prior post, they are back. I brought home 20. Good sizes.

Bad news. Impatient boater ran over one of my traps while coming in to dock. My whole metal net got caught in his propeller. Not repairable.

Note: The hand model holding the mangled net is Crabaholic. Appreciated the company.

Crabbed out going. Meet up with ct crabby crabber. Crabbed together got 21 some he generously gave to me!!! Great day except an old guy in a boat ran over one of his traps mangled the wire trap in prop. Told him as he came in there are lines there. Looked like Biden was driving boat. No prop damage. 

Crabbers watch out for these boats. People have no clue or respect fir fisherman. Other than that great day.
