Here in Maryland the crabs are scarce. They're getting $200 a bushel
for non-Bay crabs and $32 a pound for picked crab meat.

As for the crabs climbing up the pontoons. You may be having a dead sea
condition where the algae uses up all the dissolved oxygen. that is
unless you're just funnin' us. We've had several large fish kills here
on the bay this year and instances of the crabs coming out of the water
gasping for air.
