Can't be from VA, everyone knows there are no crabs in VA.....right, Jack?

I have a hard time believing VA is catching any real amount of crabs right now. What were the prices ?

at joppatowne in front of the midway inn/liquors on saturday and sunday

It is the same guy that runs the produce/crab market on eastern ave at the back river bridge

Ahh, I got thrown out of there for complaining about his early season, 3.5 inch crabs. I was in line waiting with a friend who wanted crabs and Cheap Charlie himself started putting them in a bag. I said what are you doing with 3.5 inch crabs in Md. He said every crab is 5 inches or better. I told him I haven't needed to measure a crab in 30 years and that half the basket was under. He said put up a 100.00 and he'll prove me wrong. I pulled out a Franklin and he got angry and told me to get out. I called catch a poacher when I got home...

You guys think i am exaggerating? Stop by and look in his baskets.

Early season he has a line around the building of people waiting to buy the spiders he sells...

rdbeard · April 02, 2013, 02:02:34 PM

His spiders must be 5 inch which look pretty small.

bigjimmie · April 02, 2013, 05:11:34 PM

If they are catching them in VA like that right now , I wonder what their using for bait with clams doing bad this year.
