Lake Mattamuskeet

Went down there to the Lake water was high due to the near 4" inches of rain we had. Water was still to cold at the Lodge, no luck there. Tried another canal where we must have fed the turtles

Went to one last spot, and caught>>>>>> 2 crabs that were maybe 3". So we got skunked

Will try again the first of April

Did Baltimore move

Last time I checked and this was with a stop in DC and 7 stops around and in Balt it was 758 miles round trip. If I had one stop in Balt it's about 700 round trip. Better have your odometer checked as it may be adding a extra mileage.

But you are right at least I did'nt have to go that far ..........about hmmm 90 miles round trip, it pays off big time when the crabs are there

Fly, I think he was referring to us northern neighbors that DID drive over 900 miles! You need to understand Slayer, his little short bus doesn't get out of the city too often!

That's because the Slayer doesn't follow the Pied Piper unlike you bozos. Except in your case it was Dr. Joe Crabs. I see he had his license to practice revoked.

Joe Crabs had all these people follow him down to lake matemuskunked. They were all excited because Joe kept posting all of these pictures of crabs he caught. People came from afar to only get skunked and all boozed up.

Kirby gave Joe Crabs an honorary Phd Certificate for crabbing, hence Dr. Joe Crabs. After the trip he lost his license to practice and his honorary title.

I'll bmail you all in advance about the crabbing. I got skunked this past weekend, but you don't know until you try. It's easier for me since I live kinda close

I'm holding out until April, due to health stuff and the lack of crabs. The water was around 50 crabs do pop out about that temp. But become more active around the 60 mark. We have some warmer days and mild evenings ahead so that'll help. Besides I think I'm going to see if my boss man will give some of those SC crabs he's been buying, that should help my cravings

You know it's called CWS (crab withdrawl syndrome) shakes, jitters, constant stomach growling, playing with the tongs and gazing at the Old Bay cannister

I see the snakes are coming out of their holes a little early this year.

Something for the memories.

Joe Crabs · March 07, 2007, 11:10:19 PM

2nd day, no shortage of crabs here.

Joe Crabs · March 07, 2007, 11:12:36 PM

Clean B4 Cook, no Gook.

Joe Crabs · March 07, 2007, 11:22:43 PM

Well Pete likes the gook.

Actually Slayer the 1st trip was to meet Pete, crabbing was secondary but awesome. Glad your paying attention though.
