chesapeake bay blue crabs

If I remember correctly we spent sometime on the Chesapeake, the river was called the Sassafras River, yeah I think that's right. We spent like 3 days just chillin and dropped 2 crab traps over each side of the dock, as fast as I could pull them up we got crabs. We must of had 6 dozen in a matter of an hour or less.

they were good eatin.......

mmm. crabs. melted butter.mmmm. don't catch crabs like that around here anymore. shame. I can remember in the 70's going out at 5 am, being back by 9 with 2 bushels and a beer buzz. beer buzz I don't do anymore, but the crabs....mmmmm.

Oh yeah it was definitely in the 70's when we went crabbing, my dad had a 32' Chris Craft Cavalier and we used the go up and down the inter-coastal water ways from Long Island Sound to the Chesapeake up the Delaware and everywhere in between. Now I just putter around lakes and stuff, he was a little more adventurous and my family is a bunch of chickens...lol plus gas was .75 gallon marine and .50 for the car.

yeah, I had a 14' runabout with a 10 hp evenrude. went everywhere in that little boat.

well fellas, that's it for me, gonna call it a day. see ya

g'nite charlie

Just flyin by gang Nitey Nite.

Guess I was gone for a little bit more than a bit...... after the walk grandson helped by putting 4 baby robins back into their nest...don't know where Mother went...used vinyl gloves to put 'em back...hope they make it.

Jr, hope you enjoyed those crabs...Can't wait for my first ones of the year!!

Evening Bud, so how was the steak ???

Ummmmm!!! Grandson said that was the best filet he had ever had!!! Charcoal IS better than gas!

Shutting this thing down....g'nite all!

Have a good on Bud.

I recently picked up at a garage sale a Weber Kettle grill (the 22.5" version) for $10. It has a cover and the only thing that it needed was the ash pan that fits between the legs. Got that at a store for $6. I have to agree that I do like the charcoal taste better than gas. Gas is convienent, but if you have the time, fire up the charcoal grill. I did two slabs of ribs Memorial Day on the charcoal. Hmmmmmm where they good, we ate one slab and froze the other one.

good morning everyone. headed for bay ridge today

Good morning Maryland
Have a safe trip Charlie
