Winter Redfish in the Lowcountry - As the temperatures in South Carolina have finally fallen into the 50's, we are starting our winter pattern for Redfish. The last couple of hours of the ebb and first couple of the flood tide give anglers a great opportunity to sight fish. The Reds a more...

Trout and Reds turn on - December has been as odd month for us as far as weather is concerned in the low country. We have had very few cold fronts come through, and our temperatures have stayed very mild too say the least. As a result the water temp has yet to drop into the more...

Fair to middling bite so far this fall - The lowcountry of South Carolina has been like a lot of the country when it comes to weather matters. We had record flooding recently and very few cold fronts to help drop our water temperatures. As a result the normal pre-winter bite is a little beh more...

Big tides and little bites - The past couple of weeks have been pretty slow. We have had a lot of rain, and some pretty big tides that have kept the water stirred up. Caught a few trout on a couple of trips on the incoming tides using live shrimp under popping corks. Have tried more...

Bite goes up as temps go down - We are finally seeing our water temperatures start to fall a little here in the low country. And with our estuary system chocked full of bait shrimp and mullet, the bite is turning on. Both the Speckled trout and Redfish are currently being taken in more...

Fair inshore bite - As our water temperatures have really climbed into the mid 80's, the inshore bite has slowed a bit. Having to work pretty hard to get on the redfish bite. Did fairly well on the high outgoing last week, using mud minnows under a popping cork. Had 7 R more...

Tarpon and Jacks roll into Port Royal Sound - The last couple of weeks have seen a huge amount of bait pouring into our sounds and rivers. Both Mullet and Menhaden are extremely plentiful. And along with them come the Silver Kings. The Tarpon are easily identified as they smash the bait pods. An more...

A decent bite the last two weeks - Have had some pretty decent trips the last couple of weeks. The Redfish bite has been off and on, but when it is on it has been pretty darn good. Had a trip with two couples and caught and released 15 Redfish up to 10 and half pounds. A quality morni more...
