🦀 Eel Pond – Boston’s Secret Blue Crab Paradise! 🌊

Discovered this hidden gem in Mattapoisett where giant, sweet blue crabs swarm at low tide—but shhh, let’s keep it local. Here’s the stealthy guide: 📍 Crab Hunting 101: • Park Here: 7 Depot St (then walk to the longest wooden pier). • Best Time: 3 PM post-low tide (crabs are hungry). • Bait: Chicken legs on strings + net (they JUMP). ⚠️ Rules Matter: • 25 crabs max (cops check!). • Size Limits: Measure shells (too small = toss back). • Clean Up: Zero trash left behind. 🌿 Local Vibe: • Friendly Folks: Smiles + nods (Kentucky farm energy). • Fun Fact: Locals don’t eat crabs—they’ll ask why you’re collecting. 💡 Pro Tips: • Wear Boots: Muddy shores = slippery. • Bucket + Ice: Keep crabs fresh & feisty. #BostonHiddenGems #BlueCrabs #LowTideTreasure #Mattapoisett #RespectThePond #KeepItQuiet #CrabHunting #NewEnglandLife #SustainableSeafood #NoTourists
