Any Crabbing in the Potomac?

[joe117]

Anyone doing any crabbing in the Potomac or the smaller rivers.
I see crab pots around Cob Island but I can't catch any up in the St Mary's Wicomico.

I had some really good luck in the upper part of lower mochodoc creek, the best in the past three years.

I'm a crabber with 120 pots out now in two of the Potomac Creeks below Ragged Pt, have been doing 2-4 bushels each time for the past month, expect that to increase any day now.

I just came in from fishing this morning on the pier in front of the house. Watched a trot line crabber run his lines for three hours and I never saw him catch a single crab.
He pulled up and left.

I caught spot, white perch and croaker, all too small, 6" to 7", I was using squid. Lots of bites but everything was small.

I live three miles upstream from Bushwood.

About 2-1/2 weeks ago I tried crabbing in the Wicomico and it wasn't all that great but it has to start picking up I know soon. Joe117 where do you live? Sounds like you only live a couple minutes away from me, I'm on mechanicsville road....I put in at bushwood all the time.

Are you talking the St Mary's Wicomico?
Where on the river did you crab?

I'm a couple of hundred yards down stream from the ramp at Old Chaptico Wharf.
