>New Regulations Coming for MD Recreational Crabbers
November 10th Public Meeting Regarding 2009 Recreational Crabbing

On November 10th the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Fisheries
Service held an informational meeting to discuss recreational crabbing regulations for the 2009 crabbing season. In 2008, Maryland, Virginia, and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission enacted coordinated crab regulations that were intended to conserve adult female crabs and reduce the annual fishing rate to the target level of 46% of the total population. The Fisheries Service presented several options for changes to the recreational crab licensing requirements for the 2009 season and is seeking public input on these options. New licensing requirements will aid in designing surveys to estimate total sport crabber catch.

Berkley Gulp
Chicken Livers

$ 5.49

Catfish anglers can now forget the mess of
using real meat as bait. New from Gulp! are Chicken Livers that last longer and are more effective in catching fish than the real thing. Catfish anglers dream of big whiskers and the hope that someday grungy catfish baits can be replaced. The new Gulp! Chicken Liver bait
from Berkley is the answer to both ideals ...
no more mess and a bait that outfishes real chicken livers! Fish the Gulp! Chicken Liver on
or near the bottom as if it were freshly cut meat. To rig, simply place one or more livers
on a large single hook on either a slip rig or three-way rig.

Some anglers also employ a high/low rig with
two or more baited hooks on one line. Present the bait in that favorite hole and get ready to
set the hook. Unlike real livers, Gulp! Chicken Livers can be used fish after fish without rerigging. New Berkley Gulp! Chicken Livers
work great on trot lines too.

Lunker City Ozmo - King of Freaks

This 5", 7 per bag, HEAVY SALT creature bait has more going for it than anything else that bass in your waters have ever seen. Lunker City's Pro Staffers and Field Testers all report that bass don't so much hit this thing, they ATTACK it! They may not be sure exactly what it is, but they're sure they want it dead. Click Here to Buy

Ozmo is made to be morphed into whatever the conditions demand. Break off the head, gills and twister tails, and fish it as a craw imitation on a 1/8 or 1/4 oz football head. Break off the claws, arms and antennae and fish it as a traditional twin tail, either Texas rigged or on a jig. Or fish it 'full bore' as a creature bait or freak bait. Ozmo is the King of Freaks!
