Well, you know, if ya ever thought about goin’ crabbing, you might wanna give Rehoboth Beach a try. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s one of them places where you can sit back, enjoy the sea breeze, and catch yourself some of the best blue crabs around. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s all just fancy folks doin’ it; folks like me, we can enjoy it too. You just need a little know-how, and Rehoboth Beach got all the right spots for it.
First things first, let me tell ya, there’s more to crabbing than just walkin’ down to the water with a stick. Nah, you gotta find the right spot, and that’s where things get a little tricky. But don’t worry, I’m here to help ya out. Over by Crab Claw Adventures, they got themselves a boat that’ll take ya right out on the water. Now, I ain’t no sailor, but they got these fancy US Coast Guard inspected vessels, and they take groups of folks, up to 10 people at a time. That’s a good time for the whole family, if you ask me!
And the best part? They make sure you know what you’re doin’. They don’t leave ya hangin’. You get on that boat, and they’ll show you just how to catch ’em crabs. That’s right, blue crabs, the ones that taste so good when they’re steamed up nice and hot. There’s somethin’ about it, sittin’ out there with the sea air, the sound of the waves, and your bucket fillin’ up with them crabs. It’s a real treat, I’m tellin’ ya!
If you ain’t into the boat rides, well, don’t worry, there’s another way to go crabbing over at Holts Landing State Park. They got this pier, the only one in the state built just for crabbing. I’ve been there a few times myself. It’s a good place to set up, especially during slack water, that’s the time right around high or low tide when the water’s calm. That’s when them crabs are more likely to bite. You just throw your line in and wait—patience is key. I’ve had days where I’ve caught a whole bucket full, and others where nothin’ but seaweed came up. But that’s the fun of it!
Now, crabbing ain’t just about catchin’ crabs; it’s about the whole experience. You’re out there on the water, maybe even with a few of your neighbors or the kids, just enjoyin’ the day. And if you’re lucky, you might even get some good seafood to go with your crabs. There’s places all over Rehoboth Beach that serve up fresh crabs and other seafood. My personal favorite is the steamed crabs, hot and juicy, just how I like ’em. You can even buy ’em by the bushel if you want a big feast.
Don’t forget, though, you’ll need a fishing license if you’re planning on crabbing off the state pier or anywhere else. It’s the law, and they don’t mess around with that stuff. But don’t go gettin’ worried now—it’s easy enough to get one, and they won’t cost ya much. You just gotta make sure you got it before you head out. That way, you can crab to your heart’s content without havin’ to worry ’bout no fines comin’ your way.
Now, if you’ve never been to Rehoboth Beach, let me tell ya, it’s a beautiful spot. Ain’t just for crabbing, neither. There’s a lot of other things to do around there, too. You can spend the whole day just walkin’ along the beach, pickin’ up shells, and watchin’ the waves roll in. But if you’re lookin’ to do some real crabbing, well, I reckon you’re in the right place. The waters around there are full of those tasty blue crabs, and folks have been crabbing around them parts for generations.
So, if you’re ever in the area and feel like tryin’ somethin’ different, take a trip to Rehoboth Beach. Find yourself a crabbing spot, get yourself a good bucket, and just enjoy the day. It don’t matter if you catch a whole mess of crabs or just a few, you’re gonna have a good time, I promise ya that. And when you’re done, you can sit down and enjoy a nice plate of crabs, with the ocean right there in front of ya. Ain’t nothin’ better than that!
