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.

People in search of fly fishing guides should be careful about hiring bait guides to take them fly fishing. All ya need to do is look at the photos on their web sight, if you don’t see fly pics I would not hire them. Anyone can go bait fishing but ya better have the right boat and know the gig to be successful at fly fishing. I have been slack lately not posting to many pics, but the reds have been going nuts around Cane Patch as well as other areas. There have also been some stripers busting up some baits on top making for some cool action.

Things a have been going well on the water as of late, went out on a solo mission and put about a 70lbs tarpon in the air on fly! I seem to having a tough time keeping them buttoned up. Oh well, fun enough just getting plenty of jumps. The reds are really getting a belly full on low and high water. The trout bite has continued to show more signs of life as well. Looks like the ocean is going to blow up satrting wed. with 30mph N.E. winds. Major bummer!!

Backs and Tails

The fall rush is on!! Reds on the high and low tides are trying to pack on the pounds for the winter. The trout bite has really been heating up as well. The past couple of weeks I have been getting some great reports of trout hitting on the incoming tide. There are also a bunch of tarpon around now for the mullet run. Plenty of inside creek mouths have had a good number of fish holding on them. I know all to well after running over a good number of fish I was not expecting to see there. Damn It!!

Trout in 8 " of water

Yesterday was one of those days ya just don’t know what the hell is about to happen. We had some tarpon to start the morning off, but the fish would not stay in one place to well. They would roll up and then be on the other side of the basin. I would work my way there and they would be at another area. F$#^ers. Off to some reds. The wind clouds and rain were making the low tide a bit tough but we did manage a red and a trout that was in 8″ of water. We decided to get out of the rain and get some lunch than bust’m up in the grass. Bust’m up we did, there were armies of reds marching in with the tide. The Teeing off began. Branden and his son Austin started to get into some fun!!

To say the least we have been busting some nice reds around town. The other day my customer and I were idling up a creek getting ready for some tailing red fishing and what do ya know, Tarpon rolling and busting mullet in the grass. We set up and had a few shots but missed the shot of the day with a 70-80lbs fish cruising on the surface and chasing bait behind the boat. By the the time I spun around the fish had worked his way further down the creek and then was gone. We didn’t hook up, but things were exciting for a while. Seems as though a bunch of fish have slid in shore to feed hard on mullet getting ready for the big move south. I was looking at the advertised guides on google the other day and not one of them are set up for fly fishing very well, big bay boats are not going to cut it on spooky shallow water reds. As a customer you need to find out what kind of boat the guide is using and how many fly fishing trips they run. Don’t get fooled by a bait fishing guide that is trying to make some money taking people fly fishing. You will fly fish for a few minutes and then be told the tides are not right and end up bait fishing.

Good Goosh!! Ihave been guiding for 12 years full time and poling the low country now for twenty and I have never had a day like this. Long time customer Bob Sewell and I headed out to look for some tail ers and That’s what we found. We had 6 fish 4 of witch were 30-32 inch’s and had a couple come unbutton. Lots of big fish and a good number of smaller fish tailing as well. This flat was doing it! On a tarpon note. Did some solo fishing yesterday and, I found a good number of fish in 2 spots, just didn’t get any eats. f#*@#*% Tarpon

Austin with one of four nice reds on fly

Branden with one of his four, Father and son tied for the day

Felton with triple

Things are going well on the water, reds on the low and high water are feeding well. Been heading south to some old fishing grounds,( Cane Patch) We have been seeing more triple tail filling in along the beach fronts as well as some nice size Spanish mackerel. Spanish can make for a fun day on fly during the heat of the summer days. There are more tarpon reports and we have had some big jacks moving in. Tried for the jacks yesterday but by the time the tide slowed the wind had gone ballistic and we decided to go back to mr. reliable. (redfish) I had to pull into bass pro shops the other day and to my shock they now have salt life fishing shirts and the very next day I saw a truck with 2 salt life stickers and the driver got out with a salt life shirt. Dear Lord!

Tailing tides keep on tailing

This month must go down as one of the best months ever for tailing reds. The winds have kept water on the coast and the lunar side has been doing it’s part. Being said, we have been in the grass on a daily basis. One would think the reds would get tired of eating crabs, but just like me at a all you can eat crab legs buffet I can’t stop. Nor can the reds. Here are a few more pics of the latest excercising of the critters. As soon as the tides start getting a bit smaller I will be looking for some stripers, keep your fingers crossed.
