Sandy and Biscuit turned a quiet dock near their hotel Wildwood NJ stay into a full-blown crabbing race this week — traps down, ropes soaked, and Harry the seagull refusing to look away from a single second of it.
Crabbing Off the Dock Is a Wildwood Classic
Dock crabbing is one of the easiest, cheapest things to do on a Wildwood visit — a trap, some bait, and a rail to lean on. Mornings and evening tides tend to pull in the biggest crabs, right when the current is moving.
Bait Smart, Race Fair
Sandy and Biscuit learned the hard way that a bigger, fresher piece of bait beats a bigger trap every time. Rebaiting between drops keeps the traps working instead of sitting empty in the water.
