Stono 3/10...

We decided to head up the stono today and run up past metal trades…wasnt as warm as they said it would be but once we got up in some creeks it was better. Started to say we were skunked…but then thought better of that. Oh…we didnt catch any fish:yawning_face:…and believe me…we tried many places…but even when you dont catch fish…as long as you bring away something when the day is at end…you really shouldnt feel like you were skunked or it was a wasted day… I guess Ive mellowed some in my old age. I love to cath fish…but nowadays…just being out there is good enough for me…and catching fish is a bonus. Yeah…it gets a little frustrating when you try everything and nothing seems to work…but that just makes you work a little harder and try to figure out what you will do “next time” We didnt leave them biting…lol…in fact …we dont know what they were doing :smiley:…but they werent biting thats for sure! Did see some neat stuff…so heres a few pics of things I “caught”…on camera:smiley:

Big tides today! We got out there around 0900…and the ride was…well…

brrrrr…

could have used a little fire this morning…

palmetto tree…

Bird tree…

Men at work…

look at all of the sea foam.

Looks like a great day even without the fish!

I went out on the Wando today too and got skunked but still had a great time being on the water.

That sure is a pretty turtle, wonder what kind s/he is …


experience noun \ik-#712;spir–#601;n(t)s

  1. the fact or state of having been affected by or gained knowledge through direct observation or participation

  2. that thing you get just moments after you needed it.

Hey Penny, I think those turtles are diamond back terrapins. Pretty cool little turtles.

Diamondback Terrepin (so) turtle. I believe the only turtle that lives in the salt that isn’t a sea turtle…

penny,look closely at the the picture of the spanish moss…look above the bench.is it just me or does it look like something there?

Ok Sharky…you just made the hair stand up on the back of my neck :slight_smile:

As for the turtles…I thought that’s what they were…don’t remember the ridged back so much…daddy like sot mess with me every chance he gets.

More turtle talk…

Those ridges on the back are the back bone; you see a more distinct ridge on many young turtles. If you look on the inside of a turtle carapace you can see how the spine is fused to carapace and it is all one piece. As the turtle grows the ridges moderate and mostly disappear; but again, on the inside you would still see what looks like individual vertebrae with a passage for the spinal cord.

That’s neat!
