Crowded Day on the Chester - 7/14 - w/a Few Pics
«

Set out at 400 am with captain Bubba (Dad) and daughter, 8-year-old master crabber Mikayla, to get traps in the water by 630 am. Arrived to see 8 or 9 trucks at the landing, which is very unusual for this spot. It was a sign. I've never seen so many boats working one small area. The good news is everyone must have been catching, because it sure seemed like a friendly bunch out there. More dockside talk, on-the-water conversation, and waving than I'm used to seeing on that "other" river.
::)Spread the traps out in 3 lines of 10 traps each and moved them 10 at a time until we found some slow but steady action. Finished up at noon-thirty with close to a bushel of big, but not so rusty, crabs. Plenty of crab for the crew. All in all a great day, which was made even better when my daughter, after pulling traps all morning, power-washed the boat when we got home and then helped clean the entire catch after I steamed them. What a trooper. She's been with me when I crab with Rapp, so she probably thinks doing all the work is part of being on someone else's boat.
Final count - 61 crabs. Can't wait to get back out there.
1 - The crew.
2 - First mate working her butt off.
3 - The reward.
4 - Still smiling after a long morning.

Great job. she's a real trooper and will remember these days for a long time. Nothing better than a kid enjoying the spoils of the land and staying out of trouble.

Crewstation: What a wonderful report and pictures. That's totally awesome that you enjoyed a day of crabbing with your 8 year-old daughter. There is nothing better than enjoying a day on the water with those you love. What is also great is that there were a lot of friendly folks all around crabbing. This was a memorable day for you on many accounts! My son and I enjoyed crabbing Chester River last summer and are excited to give the beautiful Chester River and Wye River another go next week during our vacation!

She did a pretty good job of it, too. The pressure washer almost knocked her off her feet when she pulled the trigger. Then she got right to it. No "re-do" necessary.
