It’s been a busy summer – but not all work and no play. I spent two days at my brother’s house relaxing in his pool and crabbing with my nephews and pop.

We didn’t do too badly either – 32 crabs in just two hours on the water. They were some of the best crabs I’ve ever eaten–but then again there is nothing better than catching your own meal.

This season seems better than most in recent memory. We caught some really big crabs, but threw back dozens of small ones for every large one we kept. That means the season will only get better as those grow and mature.

I’m looking foward to next weekend when I travel to Welbourne in Upperville, Va. I will have plenty to write about upon my return!
