Life Vests

Life vests can be found in the plastic storage chest on the back deck.

Safety is our #1 Priority: Please wear life vests and be cautious when using the dock area especially with small children.

Kayaks

Kayaks are located under the back deck. Make sure to wear life vests when operating. Note: Please place kayaks upside down once finished using them so they do not fill up with water.

Crabbing

Just about everything you need for crabbing can be found either on the dock itself or in the "Rude Jude" Dock Box.

Check out the YouTube videos below for more crabbing information.

A long video on crabbing off the dock but very informative

The two most popular baits are fish and chicken. Fish tends to attract more crabs, especially if it is oily, but chicken lasts longer. Almost any species or cut of chicken can be used but necks are preferred as they are both cheap and easy to secure.
