A Cold Start to Crab Season

Maryland's blue crab season will likely have a slow start
April 1 is the official start to the blue crab harvest in Maryland. But don't reach for your mallet just yet.

"It's not time for crabs," said Jessica Borowski, a manager at Midtown BBQ and Brew. "It's too cold out."

The crabs seem to agree. The Chesapeake Bay's water temperature hasn't risen enough for the crabs to become active — and catchable.
Darn global warming climate change. Hopefully it will warm up by June so I can have my no traditional soft shell sandwich.
