In the 40s there were thousands of crabs in the Hackensack river and Berrys creek. There was a boat rental by the bridge on the plank road. We often rented a row boat and rowed to the rt 3 bridge over Berrys creek.Route 3 was called S-3 then. On the south side of the bridge was a marooned barge. Inside the barge were thousands of crabs. We either used traps or a net and hand lines. We often came home with a bushel of crabs and it was a fun sun burned day for us kids.
