It has been a busy week here in Charleston, SC.  Monday, 5/19 was so windy that I postponed both of the trips scheduled for that day.  Tuesday, 5/20 was another windy day but the trout fishing was excellent.  We had 30 or 40 bites and caught 20 or 25 trout in the 1-4 lb range.  Wednesday the 21st was another windy day but it started out nice.  I picked up Freddy Myers and his friend Billy at Dahoo Landing in Edisto.  We ventured out to the North Edisto River in search of big roe trout.  We caught a few just north of Wadmalaw Sound but the water was extremely muddy.  I think the wind has had a serious effect on the water color and temperature.  The trout we did catch there were small.  We did however catch a nice 2.5 lb, 19 inch trout on the west bank by Botany Island.  We caught a few more on the east point.  It seems as though the trend is 1 or 2 fish in each spot.  The is very indicative of a transition period.  The bigger fish will be leaving the large schools in the creeks and heading out to deeper and cooler water near the river mouths.  Today, was another rough day of fishing.  The whether was great but the bite was very sporadic.  Same as yesterday, 1 or 2 trout in every spot.  Tomorrow, whether permitting, will be the first day at the jetties this year.  Keep checking back for details, this is the beginning of the season for giant reds!!!!  Until next time, hang on tight and don't forget to breath.

Wednesday, May 7

Today I had a corporate trip with 2 other boats.  I hired Jeff Yates and Johnny Krislip to run the other two boats.  All of the boats caught fish.  Trout, Reds, and Sharks were the bite of the day with the occasional small blue fish as well.  The tides were not as strong as they have been the past few days so the fishing was a little better.  The whether was once again perfect.  Overall it was a successful day and the company was great.  I hope my clients had as much fun as I did.  Until next time, keep the boat ready!

Sunday May, 4th

Sunday, May 4th
Today was beautiful spring day that felt more like August than May.  It was hot and calm.  The small menhaden have stated running in the harbor so we caught enough to fish and went on our way.  The trout have been biting on and off and the reds are moving out of the creeks and into the deeper river where the water is a little cooler.  Mark French from and His brother Chandler brought Mark's son Liam to catch some fish.  Liam wanted to catch sharks so after catching 1 trout out of about 15 bites, we went to the harbor to catch some sharks.  This was the first shark trip of the summer but there were no bonnetheads.  As soon as they start biting, the big reds should be out at the jetties.  We caught 8 or ten sharks and came home.  It was a great trip and I thoroughly enjoyed the company.  I can't wait to take them again.  Until next time, keep the boat ready!
