Fishing Savannah, Beaufort and Hilton Head, Fly and Light Tackle

The tailing tides have continued to provide plenty of fun in the grass.  The morning high tides seem to have been a little funky, with cool temps starting out it, the reds just didn’t want to show their tails.  The evening tides on the other hand were a whole different ball game !  After hearing how much fun red fishing is from  his cousin Dave Wilson was in town and decided to give it a try. What fun we had !  We used spinning rods with a small plastic shrimp and the fish were down,  with a pesky wind we managed 3 eats with one fish coming to the boat, one lost along side and the other blew up on the soft plastic and missed it.  Cobia are in the Broad , yesterday one was caught on fly.  Hopefully the warmer weather and maybe some lighter winds will provide more action with the cobia.  Just be ready for some looking time when cobia fishing the Broad.  It seems I see one as soon as I start, or I’m on the long term look and once my eyes get tired of looking, one pops up.  There are those days though when the fish seem to around and up everywhere.

Wow what a week of weather, 20-30mph winds rain and just plain nasty.  When we have weather like that the first couple of days after can be some of the best fishing.  Just like us I think the fish are just as fed up with the weather , and when it clears they get happy.  This was the case when Trip Wolfe and I went out Sunday.  I had 3 to the boat and lost another one, Trip had one to the boat and lost another nice one.  When in the grass a five fish day is great !  Looks like it’s going to start getting nice for the upcoming week and with that the triple tail are floating in certain areas.  Lats night Bob Vought and myself hit last night and found the fish to be in a bit of a funk but feeding.  We had some cooler temps and the fish were staging in good numbers entering the flats but as they came up it was not what we had expected.  A few tails and the fish would slink off.  After seeing this we decide to move to another flat and here we found some fish acting a bit more user friendly.  Bob put a nice one in the boat, lost a nice fish and we had another fish eat the fly when we both thought he had spooked, but actually had eaten the fly and was just swimming off !
