The weather was a bit windy but it made for a cooler time on the Great Wicomico today. We took out five people for an Eco Tour. What a great group of folks they were! They asked great questions and were an easy group to accommodate!
We started out inside and tumbled some oyster seed.
Then, we headed over to the tanks where we wait for peelers to eventually shed and become soft crabs. There were a few that had already shedded and then there was this crab who we call a "buster". By the time we returned to the dock, she had already shedded!
We fished a few crab pots off of Fleeton Point. The pots were pretty full and we were able to send our crew home with some crabs. (Forrest called and put in a good word for them at KC's Crabs and Cues and had Cecil steam them up for the guests.)

Hand tonging is usually a thing of the past now that most boats have hydraulic capabilities. It's still fun to try to oyster the "old school" way.
