What is the best way to keep blue crab alive in the boat. The round wooden bushel Baskets are not available.
A cooler will work, as well as one of the large plastic bushel size tubs. Leave the lid off so they don’t suffocate, ank keep them wet with a damp towel.
Gonna be a challenge in this heat!
Good luck, and welcome to the site!!
You might try Marvin’s, on Dorchester Rd. He might have a wooden bushel basket or two to spare?
Plastic bushel basket lined with a burlap sack. Cover loosely with another but let the side holes of the basket breathe. Pour water over it frequently
Or your live well with the plug out and hit the switch every once in a while
You’ll want a good dip net and/or a pair of welders gloves for scenario #2
