Well its been 10 days since I was able to go crabbing with my daddy...and felt like a eternity. Momma and daddy came for dinnner yesterday and I "advised " him that I would be there first thing Monday morning...to which I got a "oh yeah?" and big grin.:smiley:
Hit Hardees for the traditional crab morning biscuits at 0430 and then hit the road to Mcclellanville. Lots of deer feeding along the highway kept me wide awake and a nervous nellyâŚbut most didnt even look up as I passed. Daddy was ready to go when i got there so a few minutes talking to mom and we were on our way. Daddys âfadometerâ said the water temp was 94:roll_eyes: lolâŚand we said if we got hungry weâd have plenty of boiled crabs if this was the temp:smiley:. Chilly morning on the water and I was glad to have snagged a jacket from his back seat. Sunrises always take my breath away and leave me speachless and in aweâŚand anyone who knows me knows it takes a lot to make me at a loss for words:wink:. What a great day we had! Theres always âŚalwaysâŚa new adventure when i am with my Daddy.
Daddy with his morning coffeeâŚbiscuit and a story to tell:smiley:
little birds with big voicesâŚlove the little nests they weave in
My son has some of those âSmall Paulâ boots. Theyâre his favorite puddle stompers. He looked at the pictures with me and pointed out that the dolphin is smiling. He also loves the pictures of the âcwabsâ.
Thank you for sharing. Your reports are the best!

Thanks! Still trying to upload the little videos of the dolphin . Was a great day for sure. Like I told daddyâŚin just a morning trip I not only made another memory that I ll have forever with himâŚbut saw a mink,eagle,gator and my dolphin friend :). Forgot to mention we had two flounder in the potsâŚI always dump them on the floor of the boat before the crabs and they flap all around and soak daddy with the water in the ottom of the boat:) little sweet revenge for the tricks he plays on me. BtwâŚthe gator head ( last trip) I attached to one of his pot floats is still there. Daddy said trip after I putit on the float he was pulling pot before it and sayingâŚwhat in the world is that where my pot should be?..got up to it and realized what it was and laughed like crazy
What a fine report, madame! The low country is a unique and wonderful place as we all know, you capture the essence exceptionally well in this photo journal. Many thanks.
Cheers,

JanâŚI think seawee outpost in awendaw had some. ( I love that storeâŚawesome tshirts for 16.00 too ! )I know some of the tackle store. Carry themâŚhaddrells and charleston anglerâŚmaybe the ice house in Georgetown. Itâs Probablly going to set you back 60 bucks for a full trap with iron and ropeâŚmaybe even a little more. They arenât cheap thatâs for sure. The hardware store on the highway in mccl. Might also carry them.
Really, REALLY enjoyed it! Again! If I could take one of those trips once a year Iâd feel blessed. To take one every couple weeks, donât even know what to say. Thanks again for sharing!

Pen, you truly have an awesome gift of telling your stories through your photography! Like Stono said, I felt like I was there with you. Great photos and great that you get to spend ythat time with your Father. Thank you!
Thatâs why they call it fishing, not catchingâŚ
