Ocean City, MD

Northside Park at 125th St, Bayside, Ocean City. Best place (at least to me) is Northside Park on 127th St on the bay. You don’t need a license to do this, and there are crabbing signs that show you what you are allowed to keep. String and chicken necks is all you need. Be sure to place your bait in a cooler, so it stays fresh. Crabs will avoid spoiled bait. Next, tie a piece of bait to a string long enough so the bait will settle at the bottom of the water. Drop your bait into the water, hold tight, and wait for a bite! Then, slowly pull up your string and gather your crab into the net at the surface of the water.
