This is a first...saw a big blue crab swimming around in the Nottoway River near Round Gut yesterday, have never seen one that far up!

There was a Blue crab found on the Chowan River Friday. It was up past 13 bridge.
My neighbor runs a crabbing business and told me the bad water in the Sound is pushing the crabs up in the rivers. I guess by bad water he means lack of oxygen.
About 20 years ago caught a 12" Flounder in the nottoway just outside of courtland
Ive caught flounder on the Perquimans and my old fishing buddy, Rodger has seen dolphins on the Perquimans...generally not a good sign!
They are everywhere this year. I could have taken a net and caught a 1/2bushel of nice ones in Mattawoman (Potomac River),last week. Would have paid for my tripSome of the best looking ones I've seen in years.

Not from the Potomac but netted these on the Yeopim a couple weeks ago...The fishing was terrible so we made something out of nothing...
Robert, do you need some sort of crabbing permit to catch those?

Brian, I've never heard of a crabbing license outside of a commerical license. But I'm no expert in the area either....
I was fishing in a few creeks off the sound last fall & I was catching bass while jellyfish where swimming by. Talk about weird!
