Crab Trapping...













I went on the boat for the first time since Ive been here. (no one wanted to take super pregnant sara on a boat). My dad and Drew have been setting traps for stone crab claws for a few months now. Super yum. The season is almost up. The traps are baited with frozen pig feet. The crab in the third picture is actually holding on to a pig foot bone that he stripped clean. They are mean little dudes. If the claws are big enough they are quickly ripped off, and the crab is flung back into the water to live another day and grow another claw. Super super yummy.

Oh wow! I am so jealous! I would love to be there! I remember crabbing with my parents when I was little. One of my most fondest memories...
