176. Crab Pots, Charter Boats, and Hidden Treasure with Justin Ravenel
Happy New Year from Dads on the Fly! We’re starting 2026 with a fun and meaningful interview with Justin Ravenel of Ravenel Fishing Charters. Justin opens up about growing up on the water alongside his mom (who was the only female crabber around at the time) and how that made for some unforgettable (and sometimes uncomfortable) moments in a tight-knit coastal community.
We also dig into life as a fishing guide, raising kids around the water, and Justin’s go-to secret for keeping kids engaged on the boat—featuring a little bit of treasure hunting.
If you love fishing stories, family legacy, and practical ideas for getting kids excited about time on the water, this episode is for you.
