Bluecrab in Marblehead!?!?
A local diver found a bluecrab inside a Marblehead harbor cove that was about 6-7" across. He brought it over for me to see,as he knew I wouldn't believe him..... Haven't seen one up here in all my life. Nor heard of them here. Strange season continues. Hoping we could see some albies locally...........

I usually go 1 time/year. I use to do the chicken and string thing but last year we went to a marsh at night w/a light and a long handled net. Much more productive. Picking out the meat is still a lot of work.

We've been killing the black seabass this year and Christian took pics of a pelican in the middle of an airport blitz.

A diver in Gloucester shot a triggerfish this week. Another diver shot a queen trigger in southern CCB. If you have never seen a queen trigger, imagine hooking into one of these pretty girls:

Good eats too.
