Went out to TBay for some crab meat hunt. I couldn't believe no one else was out there. I was completely alone other than 30 minutes a powerboat was around. It was a little spooky  :smt044 :smt044

I don’t trust my fist finder as much as you do. You have some cojones! These crabs are going to taste a little bit sweeter than usual because of the work they took.

I was expecting a few folks out on the water. I was surprised to see no one was out there.

Haha. Actually, they weren't as tasty as last two batch. I think I'm getting crabbed out already  :smt044 :smt044 Time to take a little break from crabbing.

Sometimes, I’ll go out a couple hours before first light, and it is creepy in the pitch black. At those times, I prefer no boats to be around…

What a great video. Looks like fun. Moo, do you have a recommendation for the E-flare? I don't have that base covered.

Thanks,

This is what I have. I got this because this is most portable e-flare I can find that is Coast Guard Approved.
