I haven’t been crabbing in years
Me either, hanco. Those were the days.. Broke as a $2 Zebco.
Old gf and I used to go out by Tierra Verde near the bridge going out onto the island and set out several lines with chicken backs. String each chicken back to a stick shoved down in the sand. When the stick starts bouncing, slowly reel in the crab gnawing on the chicken back and get them in a dip net. Usually fill up one or two 5 gal buckets in an afternoon. Go back home and spend the next couple hours cleaning them and have a big crab salad feast. Those were the days..
