Event Timeline: Crab Lines In@1PM, Lines Out@5PM, Judge’s Table@6:30PM, Crab Feast@7PM
We
will have a low tide - optimal for crabbing - at 3:58 PM on Saturday, August 18th
(@Beach Creek Entrance). Crabbing will
be done in the small rivers and creeks in and around Saint Marys.
The Judges Table and Crab Feast will be held at the CH Pool. Door
prizes will be awarded for the ‘Biggest Crab’ and the ‘Ugliest Crab.’ The prize of envy will consist of a ‘Badge of
Distinction’ for the Captain and crew of the vessel bringing in the ‘Heaviest
12’. These badges can be prominently worn at CH Events for the entire year and will
be handed down to next year’s winners.
Entry Fee: $10/a person at the door for the crab feast. Non-Crabbers are welcome to join us for the
feast. The entry fee will go towards costs involved with the crab boil and purchase
of prizes. It is recommended each family or couple bring a cracker or mallet
and a butter knife to the Crab Feast.
Crab
Feast is BYOB!!

Bill Bruce on this event: “Crabbing is great fun, is very simple to participate in, and provides a wonderful feast for all of us. This Tournament is the brainchild of Brian Timberlake, and we are indebted to him for putting it together and for giving us this opportunity for fun and fellowship. Our St. Marys River and its tributaries are full of blue crabs just waiting to be caught by you! Sam Colville and I can attest to this: We had an excellent and very productive crabbing adventure with Brian several weeks ago (many crabs and even more beer). Let’s have a big and enthusiastic turnout for this Tournament!
