Update and Gift Certificates

I hope this finds everyone well and in full Holiday Spirit. The fishing has been phenomenal this entire year and the past few weeks have been no exception. The trout are really biting now and the redfish have continued to surprise us with every trip. They are both in the harbor and around the waterway, especially closer to the inlets. Contrary to what my not so common since tells me, they have actually been biting in the 51-54 degree water instead of the warmer waters back in the sounds. I think water depth and clarity are a bigger factor right now due to the rain as of recent. The trout are hanging from 4 -10 feet deep in some spots and the reds are all mixed in. Live shrimp and minnows are always a good bet but the new Z-Man clear shrimps have been catching them just fine. Sheepshead are swarming on slack tides on any under water structure as well as the pilings in the waterway. Even one pole can hold 10-15 fish right now!

On another note, I am running a special for Christmas this year. Anyone who buys a 1/2 day inshore trip Gift Certificate before Christmas, gets another one for free, as well as 2 visors and 2 coozies. They make great gifts. Especially if you think the recipient will ask you to go with them. Also, I can give full price receipts for tax deductions. If you think your going to go next year, its worth it! All come with my guarantee also, if we don't catch what we are after, you get to go again for free. Thanks and I hope the holidays are safe and wonderful for all of you!

July 2nd. The Helms crew.

Another stellar day with Clay Helms, his son Austin. We caught another 22 reds and all on 6 pound tackle. Here are the pictures, enjoy.

July 1. Unbelievable!!!!

On July 1st, I took the Underwoods fishing. Within 5 minutes of getting to the spot, we had 5 big reds on. It didn't stop there either. We caught double and triple headers the whole trip, mullet, cut mullet, shrimp, gulp baits, minnows, it didn't matter. They ate everything we threw at them. 22 big reds and 4 keepers. What a morning.

Glad to be back!!!

After taking a month off from the inshore to take a boat to North Carolina and Blue Marlin fish, I am glad to be back in the Lowcountry catching the hell out of the fish.

John, Ray, and Larry- What can I say?

What a way to start the week. These guys from Augusta and John from Juanita Greenburg's, caught 14 big reds the last time they went and that was going to be hard to beat right? Wrong, not as hard as we thought. In the first two hours, we caught 12 trout over three pounds and 6 over four with the biggest one weighing in at almost 6 pounds!!!! What a day.

Slow start to a hot week.

Monday and Tuesday, the 6th and 7th of April, were both really tough days. The wind was blowing incredibly hard and the water was really muddy. A few trout were caught here and there on DOA's but nothing to write home about. Wednesday was a different story all together! I took Jimmy Herman and some of his buddies and we caught 21/25 reds in the waterway on crabs. It was stellar day but I know no idea how much better the fishing was going to get. on Thursday the 9th, I took Charles Weinhymer and his kids in the morning and TJ sack and some clients of his in the afternoon. The day could not have been better, we caught a total of 39 Reds that day in Copahee Sound and everyone had a blast. The end of the week was bad due to weather but it was a productive 3 days in the middle of the week.

Hottest Spring Bite in Years!!!!!!

What a month it has been. Business is better than last year but still a bit slow. The fishing on the other hand has been the best I have ever seen in the Spring! I don't know if I'm getting lucky or the fish are getting stupid and I really don't care either way. It has been awesome and does not show any signs of slowing down. On the 4th I took an old client who has had the luck on his side eveytime. Last year he caught 14 big red fish with me and this year we fished the sounds and hooked into a dozen and caught most of them in the 25-30 inch range. They were chomping at the bit for pre-shed crabs (peelers). The next day we fished the same sounds on the SW wind and again, could not stay out of the big reds. Jesse Rhodes and his parents caught 8 big ones in the first hour and all on 6 lb tackle!
