Carbbing on the navesink (07/01)

[DJ76]

Well it was the triple D (Dennis Senior, Junior, 3rd) out today on the navesink river in my little 14 footer. Put in around 10 and returned the dock around 4.  Used rotten chicken and some frozen bunker that we stopped for this morning.  Only 8 keepers to be had.  all caught from small crab traps, nothing to show on the drop lines.  seems the chicken was doing better than the bunker....perhaps the bunker wasn't stinky enough, i dunno     but man did the three generations on the boat have a blast.  The highlight of the day was my son getting out of the truck (8pm mind you and being up since seven) and immediately turning to me and asking when we can go again

Great trip, even though you didn't catch more!  You'll get 'em next time.  All worth it when they ask or starting bugging you to go again!!

the sink is doing lousy this year might have over crabbed it having a hundred boats every weekend taking a bushel or two for years had to take a toll

Thanks for the report.

  The crabs have been running in cycles as they always do. The Navisink is very healthy and the crabbing has been out of sight as it has the past 3 years, Stink bait is not needed nice fresh chicken thighs work the best there and the drop lines out do the traps, But here are areas that always do better then the rest. The one spot I go to has been off the hook with keepers but dirty as usual. crab the MUCK stay away from sand, Maybe you will get a PM Bill
