Another hot and busy week it has been. Since the last entry fishing has picked up a bit with the introduction of a few common summer friends, Flounder! Oh how I love flounder. on Sunday, 6/8, I took Clint, DC, and Uncle dick fishing. The Cole clan had a great trip. We caught roughly 15 trout in the 2-5 pound range. We were targeting reds and trout but when the trout started biting, it was hard to leave. We fished the incoming tide in the waterway and the wind was blowing SW @ 5-10 mph.
On Friday, 6/13, I took the Long Family. My buddy Matt Verner at Off The Hook referred them to me and Its a good thing because we had a great day of fishing. We caught 13 reds and about as many trout. There were a few missed bites but the Longs did pretty well. A couple of sharks finished out the day.
On Saturday, 6/14, I had a double. The morning was beautiful and Gary and Cynthia Rippon, who have fished with me for 4 years, caught 8 reds and 9 trout and 2 flounder. A pretty productive morning of outgoing tide in the Charleston Harbor!
That afternoon, the wind picked up and David Jr., his Dad, and I, tried to fish the Harbor. It was a little rough so we headed up the waterway where we caught some ladyfish and some sand sharks. The water was muddy in Copahee Sound and we couldn't find any redfish. Looks like David and his Dad get a free one on me next time.
On fathers day morning, I took past clients Justin Prusienski and his Dad. We caught 16 big reds in the 15-20 lb range last time and did pretty well Sunday too. 7 nice reds, 4 big flounder, and 5 huge trout. Oh what a great day in the Harbor.
Like I said, the fishing is great right now inshore and off. It is that time of year. Until next time, keep your shades on and the water cold (or other beverage of your choice). Cheers, Jamie.
