Dad Caught Wetting a Hook on Oyster Creek

Evil CRAB

Well, today Dad and I went out and tried to see what we could catch from Oyster Creek. We were a little excited to get to act like children again. We gathered out supplies...cord, meat and weights for crabbing... and small hooks, a float and some earth worms and frozen shrimp for fishing... We weren't interested in eating our catch, mind you. In fact we planned to catch and release... I wanted to do a drawing/watercolor using blue crabs as the subject... and Dad was interested in seeing what native fish live in Oyster Creek as he has been interested in keeping some in an aquarium. Well... there are crabs...but not one perch or bass bit Dad's earthworm or his bait shrimp... There are a lot of Gar however, and they were most interested in Dad's float! A couple of times they did bite his hook and worm enough to have a little excitement...but none stayed on... which was just fine with Dad... I caught one small crab and one big mean one... Later it grabbed my finger when I was preparing to photograph them...Wow... felt like my finger was in an electric pencil sharpener... or maybe a meat grinder! Blood was coming from at least 8 different punctures in my pinky finger... Really painful... I have been around crabs many times and never even had a close call with pinchers... So, I don't quite know HOW that happened... OWWW! Now they are on ice... sleepy and waiting for me to paint them... and guess what? I am too tired to paint tonight! More later....Artfully yours...
