Turkey necks for crabbing

Today we tried turkey necks. They were on sale :)
The ones that sank did OK but didn't compare to chicken. The tide was also on the way out so we just gave it a little try and left after an hour or so. The action was good but was hard to bring the crabs to the top. Tomorrow the tide will be in our favor and we will try chicken thighs. Will report.

Crabbing results for Tuesday 6/17

Sad to report we didn't catch as much as we set out for but was fun.
Did get a nice big crab for Ma. She claimed it at first sight!

Going Crabbing

Down here in the coastal region of North Carolina we have some of the best blue claw crabbing that heats up in early June. The target crab is the large "Jimmies" that are a meal in itself.
Leaving at 5:30 am and will be using chicken necks on a hand line. Will post our results...

Hi. I'm the Crab Guy.

I love blue claw crabs... Catching them, eating them and cooking them!
