Don't know about down there, but we're getting them on the Elk, the northern parts around the C&D and above.:thumbsup:

Last summer they were thick around Turkey Point, not this year.:huh:

And just for the record, I clean my crabs before I cook them:eek::D:D

I had been doing very well every weekend for the last month until last weekend. Laid 2000' three times and ended with a half a bushel. Long Cove area.:confused:

Have friends and cousins crabbing the Wye and Elk. The Wye was filthy with females last week ( 3 to 1 favoring the females) A local waterman says the female chase the males out of the river. A buddie of mine borrowed 20 traps from me last weekend and went to the Elk ( He was really late! 1:00 pm late. anyway he got 4 ( crabs not bushels) Others claim good catches within a few hours. Guess I'm going to have to give it a try at the Elk. The Wye is 2.5 hrs for me vs. the Elk at 1hr. Any other info about the Elk would be greatly appreciated.
