Accidentally put this in last year's thread. Five hours Saturday behind Ocean City with little more than a snack to show for it. Used the kayak behind the south end of the airport runway. Tried depths from 2 feet to 8 feet with open top traps. I've honestly never done any good crabbing around Ocean City but wanted to try this spot. Should have driven elsewhere. Next time I will drive to the Delaware Bay side where crabs are plentiful.

Went out in the Tuckahoe near the power plant yesterday with 15 topless traps. Crabbing was terrible. A ton of small crabs. After 4 runs I had 5 keepers. I had two pots soaking since Saturday. The were bit full of small crabs. Ended up with only 2 dozen keepers on the smaller side. I was at war with the green heads and lost.

Tried a new spot yesterday and crushed them. This will be my new go to spot. Kept 16 jumbos and a few mediums. Running 4 open top traps from my kayak while enjoying the morning. New spot is also incredibly scenic and quite remote. Only saw two boats from a distance. Northwest cape may county.
