Almost at the Shore

When the Vorlon wife and I went to the shore last Saturday night, we went in via the 34th street bridge. Those familiar with Ocean City, New Jersey know of which I speak. My reason for taking that route was to see what photographic areas might be available. We came across this bay are just short of Ocean City. While taking this photo we met some people “crabbing” off the bank.

This is catching crabs. They had a chicken leg on a string with a lead weight to weight it down. Then they wait for a crab to find it and start eating. The crabs hold on the bait very tightly. They then just pull the bait up and grab the crab before he realizes what’s going on. The stinkier the bait the better the crabs like it.

This is actually the Tuckahoe River.
