CRABBING ON THE EASTERN SHORE
Craig Hyatt
"I
caught a dozen crabs today from the
pier in "The Sanctuary" in Ocean
Pines, which is 1 mile from my home.
The view from the pier is on the
Saint Martins Neck River into the
Assawoman Bay and Ocean City. It was
beautiful today... just perfect. I
made my Maryland red crab soup and
it is awesome" |

Dam", Rocky Gorge is on

Prince Georges County,

drinking water and
recreation purposes.

square miles. It's owned

Nice coves, many
man-made structures
within walking distance
of where I parked.
They have a tot lot if
you bring kids on one
end of where I was.
some very nice quiet
spots to relax.
The water is very deep
and is stocked every
year. last year a
LMB was pulled at 11.6
lbs. one ounce away from
state record. I
talked with an older man
on a boat, he
pulled a 22" LMB
yesterday and a 20" LMB
2 days ago, I asked him
how deep he was,
he was in 16ft of water
and was about 15-20 ft
away from me....nice and
deep.
