Imaginative Itineraries
Carpe' Crab
(The Bust-A-Gut
Getaway for Guys)
The name says it all — "seize the crab,"
because this trip’s all about Southern Maryland’s great guy
pastimes ... fishing, crabbing and feasting on seafood! The
gist of this trip goes like this: spend a day on the water
armed with a crab line or fishing pole, and in the evening,
grab a crab knocker and tackle an all-you-can-eat plate of
the area’s best seafood. Stay overnight at Colton’s
Shipping Point Cottage in Avenue. Make a stop at
Quade’s Store in Bushwood, where you’ll find bait,
tackle and more. You can charter a boat at various places
throughout the county or launch your own from nearby
Robert E. Pogue Park. Other Trails sites with ramps,
piers or just good waterside spots for fishing include
Smallwood State Park and Piscataway Park. Also
Cedarville State Forest and Myrtle Grove Wildlife
Management Area (both have lakes).
End up at Capt. John’s Crab House and
Marina in Cobb Island (you can even come by boat). No
fancy finery here. The tablecloths are butcher paper, and if
you need a napkin (and you will), just tear one off the
roll. The waitress will be along shortly with another dozen
of the big ones and a little more melted butter. On this
trip, you might have to let your belt out a notch to make
room for those last few hush puppies, but you’ll never have
to wonder which fork to use, and you’ll never go away
hungry!
