Crabbing at Barnacle Bill's

One of our favorite things to do at the beach during the summer afternoons is crabbing. To avoid crowds and the typical over crabbed places we will pay a small fee to Mr. Barnacle Bill and crab off of his dock. Sure there are other people out there with us but there is room for everyone. Then it's just a matter of tying a chicken neck to the net, casting and waiting. Sometimes they get away before you can get them out of the net and sometimes they tangle themselves up pretty tight in the net making it difficult to untangle them. I had one pinch me right under the fingernail. Ouch! Drew blood. We ate him. With lots of Old Bay and butter.
