More lamb than lion!

Yesterday was a whole different ball Game. Finally the water is warm enough to get away from the dock fishing and the wind is not blowing. We started out around Ben sawyer bridge and caught 14 nice slotty reds. e then fished around Breach Inlet and picked up 4 or 5 more. All in all, 18/24 on the Red Fish. I think this week is going to be great with the weather letting up and the sun shining. It should warm the water up and talk the Reds and Trout into biting. I'll keep you posted. For now, look for clean water above 60 degrees and put some crabs and mullet on the bottom. Put the rods in the rod holders. Down hold onto them!!!!!!! Light leader, 12-15 pounds, should be the right combo. Good luck.

Wind Insurance

I fished Saturday with our good friends from The Farm Bureau. It was little cool and windy but the fishing wasn't that bad. They had 30 people and we took 9 boats. I am pretty sure the top boats were Champ Smith with 12 reds and myself with 11 reds. Only one boat out of the 9 got skunked but I won't say who that was. He is a great fisherman though and it really surprised me. We caught most of our fish in the creeks around docks and the water was 55-56 degrees. It turned out a little better that we had anticipated but it was till tough. The tide stay high for a long time which hurt us a lot. It will keep getting better as the temp keeps going up. Until next time, keep your head up, its easier to see where your going.

ALL DOWN HILL FROM HERE

Yesterday was windy one but I was greeted at the landing by some welcomed news. The temp gauge read 59.2 degrees. I knew as we headed up the waterway that it would keep climbing and it did, 62 degrees! That's what I'm talking about. When the water gets up and stays above 60, we are home free until December. The wind hurt us yesterday and we had to hide and dock fish all day but we still managed to catch 5 Reds and we had a few more bites. When the wind finally breaks, the fishing should be incredible. I have a few trips this week and they should be good. Until next time, go fishing cause you can't catch em on the couch.

Cold and Windy

Had a nice couple of days this past week with regards top the weather. I had a trip Saturday morning with three guys from up the road in North Carolina. We found a school of reds right off the bat but they would not eat a thing. We tried crabs, DOA's, spoons, grubs, minnows. You name it we tried it. We left the pot flat and went up the Wando River and fished around the barge to try and pick up a sheep or a red and no dice. The wind picked up and it dropped 20 degrees. So much for a nice Saturday on the water. The company was great but the fish did not cooperate. We'll have to get on thm next time boys. Until then, bundle up cause you can always take it off!
