End of the Crabbing Season


Bright and clear morning on the Rivah! Time to pull up the crab pots for the last time this season.  We tried yesterday but the 20+ knot wind on the river made it an uncomfortable ride with plenty of water breaking over the bows (yes it is a catamaran - two bows). Let's see what beautiful swimmers await us this morning!

Our line of 4 pots is spaced out at intervals along the 6 foot depth running SE to NW between the wreck of the Caponka and marker #1 entrance to Hoskins Creek channel. In the distance behind the marker, the Downing Bridge is visible with the Captain Thomas daily summer cruise disappearing upriver to the Ingleside Winery.
