:uhuh:....seems to be a good push of em' in lots a places this year....not monsters, but still edible none-the-less. Haven't seen many "monster" blues...in quite a few years now ("Monster" to me, = 8+ inches /pt2pt). We always release females, regardless of state-laws. Tried teaching him "girl" crab from "boy" crab....but I may be asking too much at 2 yrs old....:wall: - - - - :jump1:


Also scored some "poor man's" shell-fish which was simply FANTASTIC!!!

Who can name it, without looking it up? Sorry, no prizes...."poor man", remember???...:alright:

Crest Daddy has it right!!!....SLIPPER SHELLS (right-fully named too, as they do resemble a "slipper".....although Clammer had both 'slang' terms spot on as well!!!...."deckers" and "Lapas" (pronounced "Lopish")

Crest Daddy, they're not only edible, but :drool:....."poor man's" - Escargot is what I should have said! They're also delicious RAW!!! Pluck em out of the shell, rinse in the surf....and slurp it in.:buds:

Clammer, my father's been complaining about the $$$ of sandworms lately....he's been catching scup on slippers and winkles...
Free Bait? ... gotta luv us green-horns??? :devil2:
