New critters are starting to show up along the coast, Cobia are moving in the area with a few being caught last week on fly.  The season in South Carolina is closed, but you can still go harass them and let’m go.  This is going to reduce boat traffic tremendously and hopefully provide us with more fish cruising the surface.  I will be looking for them this week , and would love to see one inhale a customers fly.  Please no clouds !  George Brownie and I headed out chasing some reds the other day and found some fish willing to take some feathers, but many fish were a bit funny acting.  All in all it was good day, pesky clouds were killing us at times then the wind decided to visit.

It sure hasn’t felt like April this year.  So far we have had 20 plus mph winds and tough conditions, fishable, but tough.  With this weeks low that developed off the coast it gave us a  big Northeast blow causing the tide to run about 2 feet higher than prediction.  Scott Dempsey and his son Mike were ready to go chase some fish, and that we did.  Kind of a strange start, the wind seemed to have backed off a bit and the air felt warm.  The fish started off pretty happy, but as the evening progressed the wind picked back up, we still had fish tailing, just not as hard and many of them sliding thru the grass, making it tough to keep up with their location.  As always we had some fun and caught some fish.  Chris Webber had just sent me some new crab patterns to toss, and the fish certainly liked the new offerings.  Chris’s file are available at Rivers and Glenn Fly shop in Savannah.  I highly recommend getting some for your box.
