We just boiled a mess of blue crabs straight outta the bay. I mean, 10 minutes from trap to boiling pot. Talk about good; so fat and sweet! :drool: Also threw some shrimp, red potatoes, mushrooms, onion, JDarg banana peppers and a head of garlic into the boil (used Zatarains crab boil). We have plenty left over, too, so I am thinking crab omelettes in the morning and some for the neighbors. Thanks to Smiling Joe for lending me his propane burner:clap:

ShallowsNoleBeach FanaticPt Washington4,279 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticSounds yum! We ate the last of last year's crabs from the freezer Sunday evening, and they were yummy - but not yummy like fresh.
Time for Fuzz to drag out the trap!

IMHO, phat crabs are better than lobster :drool: :drool: :drool: Did you catch 'em in a trap or on string with a net?

don't know why, but I do not like the crabs out of Western Lake. I do like 'em right out of the bay!

The last edition had a photo of a medium size gator, and I know a few people who have reported seeing a few. Ask Jdarg about the one she recently saw.

Humor an inland person: how do you catch crabs on a "string"? :idontno:

tie your string to a chicen neck (heard of the term, "long-neckers?") and lower it to the bottom. Watch for the crab to come and start eating on it. pull up string and hold it over net or bucket and drop the crab in. No one said that crabs were smart. ;-)

Yes, you have to hear my giant gator head story. It was as big as JohnR's bus. No lie. I ain't kidding. Could have eaten a horse.:roll:
Really, it was pretty durn big. Anr the next day, some guy was flyfishing and standing in the water about 20 from where I saw the gigantic gator!

Her gigantic creature looks more like a serpent- this was clearly a gator- looked like the big one in Peter Pan!! I could hear him ticking.:yikes:
