8. Apparatus and methods of capture. — Two forms of apparatus are in use in the vicinity of Crisfield. One, made of iron bars, known as the dredge or scrape, much resembles the ordinary oyster-*] red ge in shape, but is lighter, and is provided with a pocket of netting (see plate xx). It weighs about 20Tpounds, and costs from $2.50 to $4. Dipnets are also employed in this fishery, these being most popular with the fishermen of the outlying islands, who do but little dredging ; dip-nets are also
... used at Crisfield, but to a limited extent, and are chiefly fished from the unrigged, flat-bot- tomed boats.
One or two dredges are carried by each boat, to the side of which they are attached by a long rope. The method of using them is as follows : If a stiff breeze is blowing, the boat is brought well up to the wind, or put under reefed sails, or both, if necessary, and the dredge is thrown overboard and sweeps the bottom. At short intervals the boat is brought to and the dredge is pulled up to a small adjustable board platform provided for the purpose, extending somewhat obliquely across the boat in front of the mainmast and supported on the center-board box (see plate xxxvii, b).
