With the ending of the the year I wish I could say we finished with a bang,  With mid day high tides it’s been a narrow window on the reds.  Being said we have caught reds and some trout to finish off the year.  Not much going on with the stripers, it seems as the bulk of the fish are moving to feed on the shrimp and then heading back up river as the shrimp migrate out. That being said, stripers can still be caught, but I wouldn’t make a day of looking for them.   I have been talking to some folks about menhaden along the Atlantic coast and with stocks down 80% of historical highs, our striper, jacks and tarpon irregularities seem to be pacing with this decline.  Food for thought.  This may also  be causing some decline in trout, granted we have had some cold winters in the past, but a combo of cold winters and lack of forage who knows?

 

Hilton Head and Savannah Fishing

Long time customer Felton Jenkins and  myself headed out with perfect conditions and happy fish yesterday.  After hitting a few schools and catching a few we decide to head out and find something new, and that we did.  We found about a mile long bank of reds willing to play the game. 8 fish later we decided to head it in.  Can’t wait to get back out there and harass a few more.  Be careful in hiring guides in the area, plenty claim they can take you fly fishing in their big bay boats.  If you would like to sight cast reds make sure your with a guide that can get ya there.  Most guides in the big boats are fishing the most beat up fish in the area.  All day yesterday we saw one boat fishing,  and he wasn’t even flats fishing this makes for very happy reds on the flats.,  This not Shelter Cove fishing with  7 boats around you.
