[Fishing Report]

Inshore:
Slightly milder temperatures have led to even hotter fishing in the lowcountry waters. Great reports of redfish picking up topwater baits early in the morning during the first couple hours have been flooding in as well as finally some decent size trout being picked up as well on topwater and live baits under popping floats. Good reports of large breeder reds are also coming in from around the grillage and jetties, with most being caught on large live baits or chunk mullet. Sheepshead are still proving to be readily available, taking fiddler crabs around bridges and rock piles. Got some kids going fishing and need some exciting action? Ladyfish are inhaling live shrimp right now fished under floats around shell rakes and small creek mouths.




Offshore:
Now that it looks like Hurricane Irene is going to spare the lowcountry her wrath, we can start to think about sneaking back out on the ocean. Great reports of bottom fish have been coming in from 80-130ft that inlcude some big vermillions, blackfish, triggers, and even some very nice grouper for those that carry some live pinfish or cigar minnows with them. Trolling reports have been a little bit few and far betweeen, but those that have ventured out have had good success with wahoo in 130-250ft of water and the sailfish bite is getting pretty strong in 250-450ft of water. I think we will all be very curious to get back out on the big pond after Irene passes to our east, and see what the bite is like following the storm!
