What an incredible day this was on the water with 10 area Chefs, Steve Vilnit of Maryland Fisheries Dept, Glenn Casten and myself! We loaded in a 15 passenger van and made the trip to Hoopers Island Maryland. You realize you have entered a different area and mind set when every driver gives you a nice friendly wave as you pass. We began our day loading onto a large bay built working boat to make our 4 hour tour. We experienced many of the catch methods used in our local waters to harvest a multitude of species. We witnessed both methods for catching crabs commercially, trotline and pots. The pots are placed on a long line and dropped to the bottom where they are baited and left to attract Maryland's favorite seafood item. We pulled spot pots, visited a rockfish pound net, and even dredged for some oysters. We then boated past Smith Island and all of Hoopers Island to end up at Chesapeake Gold Oyster farm. What a great education, and what a great product! Our next few trip dates are June 19th and July 5th. Please contact your sales rep to lock down your seat on the next adventure!
