I thought it was a bushel per person but it doesn't specify. Anybody know if its per person or per boat?

Crabs

    Crabs may be taken recreationally with hand lines, manually operated collapsible traps or scoop nets without a license. A non-commercial crab pot license is required for the use of not more than two non-collapsible Chesapeake-style crab pots (see illustration on Shellfish & Crab Information) or two trot lines to harvest crabs. See Shellfish & Crab Information for the non-commercial crab pot license information.
    It is illegal to harvest or possess more than one bushel of crabs per day per person or offer for sale any crabs without having in your possession a valid commercial crabbing license.
    Minimum size for crabs that may be harvested (measured from point to point of shell) are as follows:
        Peeler or shedder crab: 3 inches
        Soft crab: 3½ inches
        Hard crab: 4½ inches
Oh, de crab, he taste so fine.
Yuh catch 'um wid a neck an' a line.
Bile de water 'til 'e good 'n hot.
Den eat de crab strait from 'de pot.

Oh, de beer, he taste so chilly.
Drinks it 'til I gets too silly.
Washin' down 'de crab an' butter.
If I doesn't fall down, I'll 'ave anudder.
