EASTON – Oyster season officially ends with the arrival of April 1, which is the start of blue crab season in Maryland.
Many called this oyster season a success.
"Harvest data suggests that harvest in this oyster season will more than double the 2011-12 season," said Mike Naylor, assistant director for the fisheries service and shellfish program director at the Department of Natural Resources. "(But) we are still at a very small fraction of the harvest just 30 years ago."
Bunky Chance, president of the Talbot County Watermen's Association, said the current weather is too cold to catch crabs.
