We still don't know what the rules are going to be for crabbing this year, but the season officially begins today.
I wanted to share this link to the story I wrote last week, which featured a Rock Hall crabber worried about the unknown.
Sources say the Maryland Department of Natural Resources will issue its new regulations sometime around mid-to-late April.
Despite the warm temperatures right now, it's still a bit cold for crabbing...
Rona Kobell reports on the Chesapeake Bay, and in her seven years with The Sun, she's visited clam farms in Virginia, a peeler pen on Taylors Island and a small market on Smith Island that serves what many people consider the best crab cake in the world (to judge for yourself, head to the Drum Point Market in Tylerton). Rona enjoys hanging out with her husband and daughter.
Tom Pelton writes about the environment and has been at The Sun for 10 years. He lives in the city with his wife, two daughters, and an exotic ecosystem that involves a cat, hamsters, hermit crabs, cacti, running shoes, drums, guitar, violins, mild cheeses and strong opinions.

Tim Wheeler writes about growth and base-realignment for The Sun. A reporter and editor here since 1985, the West Virginia native has spent most of his adult life around the bay. He lives in Catonsville, one of Baltimore's older, walkable suburbs.
