Crabbing with my daddy 05/25

Big demand for crabs for the holiday weekend made the price almost double for the crabbers…so I got a chance to go run pots with daddy saturday morning.

on the road again

even the bridge seemed to be sleeping

a ghost in the night

Knew we had to put over and leave a little earlier because of all the weekenders that would quickly fill the small parking lot at the ramp. Got there in time to see one of our local charleston captains launching his boat. I rolled down the window and started yelling “get out of my creek!!! get out of my creek!!!” to which we laughed. He and another guide had a group from up north booked…and when he told me this it added fuel to the fire…:smiley:, as i said…cant believe it:flushed:…youre in "my territory AND you are bringing NORTHERNERS here too??[:0]:face_with_head_bandage:…man did I give him a hard time as daddy just sat there with a weird smile on his face shaking his head. When I parked the truck and jumped in the boat I asked…so why the grin?? “look at your jacket” he says:imp:

It says BROOKLYN [:I] :smiley: hahaha…sure am glad tom didnt notice it!

Daddy says Ive “ruint” him as he has people always yelling at him now…you know…“hey mr Pennys daddy” “Mr bubby/ pennys daddy” “Mrs penfishns daddy”:smiley:said it even happened at the gas station the other day. haha too funny!
heres some pics from our day together on the water.

Thanks all!
Mr Easy…daddy doesn’t admit it…buti think it makes him really grin inside when that happens :slight_smile:

Jan…I do sleep…but even then I’m thinking aout when I can be on the water again. …I know it’s not healthy…or so they say…buti have always been ne of those four to five hour sleep people. It works great for me ESP working night shift…leaves me time even on my days of working nights to do stuff if I want to.

Great posts as always!

Question for you - do you and your dad use the same trap for blue crabs AND stone crabs or do you use different ones? I bought 4 traps last year especially for stone crabs ( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UyiffDFtfIU/TQ5DiJNYQiI/AAAAAAAADLo/M6Ohw67rTAY/s1600/Stone+Crab+traps.jpg ) but was disappointed with the result. Was wondering if I would have better luck using more normal wire traps. Thanks!

Easy…back in your corner!

Nature boy…we use the same pots. Usually we catch more Stoney’s around oyster rocks and deeper holes in the creeks

We use the same pots but stone crabs also like the harder bottoms deeper water and said before they love to be around oyster beds.
