Awesome Flounder. You can keep them crabs, too much fighting fer a lil eats. Ill take a BLT instead.
Your making me hungry!! Nice job.
Its not too much work once you learn how to do it rite . I learned from watching the ladies in the crab picking house when i was a kid when I'd go to Hoopers island with my dad plus when them jimmies get big that good yella mustard up in the points is good to eat too . Been picking meat and freezing too ,nice too have crab cakes or cream of crab at Christmas time.Quote:

Nice haul of flatted fish, it does get much better than that and crabs during the summer on Delmarva. Thanks for sharing.
That's awesome. Too bad for me the coastal bays are near boiling temps right now and everything is slow unless your after croaker. Went out today for an hour and caught 13 nice ones. I'll give a croaker this much, if caught on lite tackle like a crappie rod they fight really well.
We had a slower day in ocean on sat only a few keepers lost one about 20 ft from top that was close or better then my personal best of 9lbs was ready to chunk my rod lol . Sunday afternoon went for a quik boat ride met my buddy and his wife to just fish inside his lower unit started grinding so he put his boat on trailer and they jumped in mine and we caught a small cooler of croaker and some blowfish (love eating blowfish) then hit harborside for dinnerQuote:
