You don't need a recreational license ANYWHERE in MD.. as long as you aren't using a trot line of so many feet (less then 100 ftmaybe??).. chicken neckers and dippers don't need a license at ALL anywhere..

According to this, it looks like crabbing is crabbing, here's what DNR has listed :shrug:

What's Cash Cab?

It's a cab in NY. Takes you to your destination. While on the way, you get asked questions and you win money if you answer the correctly. If you get 3 stirkes before your destination, you get booted out no matter where you are.
You also get 2 shout outs for help. One street and one phone.
It's great. Channel 278 on Direct TV.

If I remember correctly you can't crab legally until 4/15/06 and with a crabbing license which is only a 2.00 fee added onto your fishing license if you opt to get both at the same time. :smile:

Recreational crab season is 1 April until 15 December. Has been for a few years and still appears to be so based on the DNR web site here. In other words the season starts tomorrow.

I just posted that ahead of your post. :razz: Wish I'd known this, I woudl have been getting the boat ready for this weekend.. its supposed to be warm this weekend :dance: I'm sure I'll get out there soon enough! :dance: Being out on the water has always been my peace and serenity... every summer I wonder how in the hell I'll cope without it... I get cranky and irratable if I'm away soo much as 2 weeks on land and not in the water ... obviously, I'm way over due :crazy: .... :lol: Can't wait to start crabbing and fishing out on the water, with the radio on, winecooler and ciggerette in hand and barefoot!!! :yahoo:

A license is NOT required of an individual who uses only the following gear and takes the following quantity of crabs:
10 or fewer traps and rings
dipnets
handlines
No more than 2 dozen hard crabs
No more than 1 dozen soft crabs or peelers

I think she left out this line...

Regardless of the regs...

Crabs don't get out of the mud and start running until the water temperature increases!

Right now, the lower bay is still @ 45 to 50 degrees F. You do the math!
