Maryland Crab Season Off to Slow Start

April 1 was the start of crabbing season in Maryland, and it was a soft launch, to be sure.

Crabbers don't typically get a large yield until the water temperature reaches 58 degrees, according to The Baltimore Sun.

As of April 1, water temperatures in the Baltimore area were about 46 degrees, the National Oceanographic Data Center reported.

The crabbing season is likely to get more productive in late April into May, according to the Maryland Gazette.
