Note:  Although there are pictures available,  I am reluctant to place children’s pictures on the web.

Worcester Prep had a visit from MSSA – ACC chapter for an introduction to fishing.  This is the next generation of fishermen and ladies.

• Step 1          Locate an area around a bay, bayou, salt marsh or tributary with grassy land and                                   several rocks, if possible. Sea walls are a great place to find fiddler crabs.
• Step 2          Dig a hole in the sand or mud with the shovel deep enough to put the bucket in so                                  that only an inch or two of the bucket lip sticks above the ground.
• Step 3          Pack sand or mud around the lip of the bucket creating a hill around the mouth of                                   the bucket.
• Step 4          Leave the bucket overnight if possible.
• Step 5          Upon returning, the bucket should contain all the crabs that you will need for your                      next fishing trip.
