Crabbed from 6:30 till 10:30 on the Wye and left with a bushel of nice heavy males. Caught crabs in 2-3' of water. 1200' trot line and 18 traps with fowl necks. Good luck  |

Customtracker: Thank you for the uplifting Wye River crabbing report. That must have been cool to catch so many crabs in such shallow water.

Most bodies of water clear up late fall and winter-early spring before the organic matter clouds it.
