crabbing in SC

[verno]

Getting ready to move to SC at the end of Sept. From Md here-always crabbed on the Chesapeake bay and tributaries here. Seems from what I have read, everyone uses pots, traps and handlines. Doed anyone go trot lining down there? Is crabbing good enough to have a feast every weekend? Good enough to retire and make a few dollars crabbing on the side? Will be moving to Loris-15 mins from the north coast. I have heard the ICW is good as well as the creeks around Murrells Inlet. Am looking forward to putting the boat in for the first time and checking out "new" waters!  Any helpful info would be great! Thanx

I welcome anyone to come and crab in these waters if you can survive all the thieves, the 8 ft tides and the worst crab harvest in atleast 10 years it really is a wonderful place to crab.  LOL
