Got Crabs!!

[charlie_the_tuna]

old buddy of mine had a little flat bottom skiff with a 9.9 on the back. we used to put along the marsh (we have tons of marsh) with a car headlight hooked up to a 12 volt and you'd see the biggies swimming in a foot of water. just scoop 'em up and finish the night with a hundred crabs or better. there were no regs back then but we never took an egger or anything too small.
his wife was a brilliant cook and she would make the sauce while we were crabbing. usually finished up with a solid 6 to 10 pounds of beautiful, clean lump.
cakes.
salad.
stuffing for flounder.
in red sauce.
just any way you could think of to make fresh crabs. i miss those days.
