East Lyme — Nella Mazzotta of Rockfall, Stephanie Svenberg of Stafford Springs and Mario Mazzotta and Tadd Svenberg went crabbing Friday along the Pattagansett River in East Lyme.

The two couples said they came to the spot because Tadd grew up in the area. They said they decided to go crabbing because lately there's not much one can do, and fishing is good for the soul and also a nice way to spend time together.
