We used to go snorkle-diving for lobsters during "mini-season" in south Florida, but the water was warm, visibility was good and the lobsters didn't have any claws. Apparently a lot of guys went out fishing today in the Bay, and some of them did quite well. Too cold for me to go fishing. -- Email sent to is never read. |

They're so stubborn "they won't let go to save their lives." You can only do this in shallow water since you have to be able to see them to dangle the bait. In Canada, that's illegal. Saw some natives do it (laws, esp. fishing laws, don't apply to them). The crabs would let go just before breaking the surface, so they used a long-handled net to scoop them in. There were also snares for sale for awhile before it was pointed out that that is illegal too. But my Lady loves "fishing" for crabs with a crabtrap - we usually toss one out whenever we're overnighting in a bay, and usually get some: either dungeness or redrock, which are smaller but very tasty!

Blech heck, that was the still air temperature when I left Seattle for your neighborhood the other day. Am enjoying the nice weather in Easton/St Michaels area. Hope it warms up in Seattle before I get back. Rick |
