Hilton Head Fly fishing

Views: 47

The winter fishing has been really good with the slight warming trend.   Schools in the Hilton Head and Broad river area are as large as I have seen. With 10-20 fish days and sometimes more on fly and spin.    Yesterday was one one of those days you dream about as a guide and angler, we had reds busting baits on the flats and taking poppers on the fly! Over the pasts 20 years of poling the area I can’t remember getting reds to come on on poppers so aggressively   Not much to report on the striper front.  I have been twice with no luck, we need a serious warming trend to get that bait higher in the water column and make the stripers a bit more accessible.  I will have plenty of pics to come, my computer is on the blink so I have been unable to get anything posted.

Fishing has been good despite the extreme low temps.  If the sun is out the fish have been more than willing to jump on any offer that is presented properly.  Tommy Webster on Saturday had about 15 fish day on fly and Andy Bowen and friends had a 20 fish day between 2 boats.  Had Ben Austin on Board with the guys from Cohutta fish co. to put some of the new Hardy rods thru some abuse.  The rods faired much better than the fish.  I have to say these Hardy Rods and reels are the shit!!  The rods are smooth during the casting stroke and light in the hand, the reels have the best drag in the business.      On another note if your coming to the area to fish I would highly recommend hiring a local guide.  I have had a couple of customers who had a certain guide come up here and fish them and had bad days.  Said guide had been taking folks to flats that doon’t hold fish anymore.   Money dosn’t grow on tree so make the most of your trip by hiring someone who fihes the area on a regular basis.
