Crabber:

Rich Milnes

Crabber Biography:

Born in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, but reared fishing, crabbing, clamming and hunting in and around the Great Egg Harbor Bay, Rich Milnes is no stranger to Patcong Creek. He began crabbing along the creek in Linwood in the 1950’s, so there’s not much out there isn’t much the man they call “Coot” hasn’t seen on the water.

Rich enjoys his time on the water in his 16′ Carolina Skiff, Weezy with his wife, kids and grandchildren.
