I absolutely love when it is time for crab season.
- My friends and I have a couple of small crab traps that we take out to the ocean with us.
We drop the crab traps into the water and then we sit on the pier and drink beers. Last weekend we sat outside on the dock for several hours hoping to get crabs for the next day. Whenever we get crabs on a Friday night, we always spend the day on Saturday boiling them in a pot of water with corn, potatoes, hot peppers, and sausage. If you add a little shrimp to the mix, it is absolutely delicious. I was really cold out on the dock when we were there last weekend. It was supposed to be 42° outside, but the wind was really whipping around and it felt like it was freezing. The dock was moving back and forth because the wind was so harsh. When I had a pretty good buzz, I decided to lift up my crab trap to see if there was anything inside. I actually had a couple of keepers, which was a surprise to me. There were two females that were undersized and I threw them back and there were also two pretty nice size males that I put into a water tank until I got back to the house. After all of my time at the beach, I was pretty cold. I went home and turned on the space heater in my bedroom. The space heater took away a lot of the shell that was inside of the air. After 15 or 20 minutes I turned off the space heater and it was very comfortable inside.
