The Chesapeake Bay has a long tradition of providing a livelihood for working watermen. More crabs have been harvested from the Bay than from any other body of water in the world. Innumerable crab pot buoys, each painted a different color and numbered by the crabbers for easy identification, dot the surface of the water. The pots are emptied and baited daily, usually very early in the morning. Looking north and close to the shoreline from this point, you can watch watermen dredge for oysters during the cold winter months.
