CRABBING & FISHING
Always check the fishing and crabbing requirements before you leave on your cruise. You will need a
license. Many areas are CLOSED to crabbing and fishing on certain months.
CRAB AWAY FROM THE BOAT! Lines can get wrapped around props. Place your bait in the crab bait
container found inside the crab pot. Next catch crabs! Measure the crabs using the CRAB MEASURING
GAUGE normally located with the crab pot. Keep the male crabs of proper size (usually 6 ¼ inches across
the carapace). In the main salon under the forward portion of the starboard settee there is a large crab
cooker. To retrieve lift the cushion and pull the pot out. As the stove is electric and it take a very long time
to boil a large pot of water, try using the steaming method it works much faster works well. Fill the pot with
just enough water to reach the bottom of the basket insert. Bring that to a boil then place your clean or whole
crabs into the pot and place the lid on. Bring the water to a boil again and cook for about 12 minutes
depending on the amount of crab being cooked.
Remember to keep an eye on the water level within the pot
so as not to boil it out before cooking is complete.
After using, wash equipment thoroughly with fresh water (available from the aft shower faucet).
Note --
Please do not store wet rings and gear inside the boat.
