Thanks ... I’m new to the Hampton area and only know about the buckroe pier and the James River pier . Both are not the kind of place I’m looking for to crab useing string and chicken neck . We used to crab off a dock that was close to the water at a camp ground on the Potomac River . We could use a net when pulling the string up . Net right under the crab . These fishing piers are too high up to crab this way and I’m having trouble finding a place to crab . You would think there would be thousands of places with all this water . If you find a place could you please share locations enjoy this beautiful day and thanks

Try around the rocks on the ocean side beach at Ft Monroe. Looks like a good spot. Sometimes you can just stick your net under the rocks and scoop them out.

I will investigate ft Monroe beach front and look at the pier . Hopefully it will turn out to be a good spot . If you find any other spots I’d be appreciative. If you get in outer banks look up colington rd . It’s between Billy’s seafood market and the fire station .. it’s right over this little bridge . Few parking spots .. nice little hidden quite spot .. you can fish too

No need to be sorry. Somebody does it at least once a day.

And I read every one of them and think to myself — ‘Gee I think I’ve read something very similar to that before🤣🤣🤪🤪 ‘. Must be an age thing😂😂
