South Carolina

Recently got back from a great trip to South Carolina with my family, and with Capt.
Gary (Kongo Charters) and his family.  It's amazing how fast you forget what day
it is!    We did a lot of relaxing, fishing, biking and hanging out on the beach.   Just
what the doctor ordered!

For the seventh time, we did a nearshore charter with Capt. John Ward of Affinity
Charters.   He is absolutely great to fish with, helps the kids, etc.   And even after
7 times, he still managed to put us onto some different types of fishing.

We got a few nice redfish, some drum, a couple of small hake, a bonnett head
shark, and a couple of mid-teen bull sharks.   Great time, for sure.   Ended up
keeping the bonnett head, and grilled it.....tasted like chicken!


 

 

Jack supplied us with fresh caught crabs one day, and another vacationer gave us some
freshly dug oysters, plus the shark, shrimp and scallops.  Not too hard to get used to that!
And of course, Velma's great cabbage!

We also had time to visit a couple of my favorites....Tommy Condon's Irish Bar in Charleston,
and the King Street Grille at Freshfields, and got to remind myself how much I like Sweetwater
Pale Ale.

Could have been a degrees warmer for my liking, but hey, when you're on vacation with
good friends, get to see a bunch of my family (who also had a house), and it doesn't
rain AT ALL, is a couple of degrees really worth complaining about???

 

Can't wait to go back!
