Water Temp: 78
We decided to stay close to the house this morning due to the impending storms.
As we left the ramp the wind was relatively docile, but as we reached the area where we like to net our bait, the wind was really howling.
I managed to put about two dozen shrimp in the boat and we headed off to our destination. We soon realized that the wind wouldn't allow the tin boat safe passage so we pealed off to fish an area of the river that the channel swings close to the oyster strewn bank and nestle in out of the wind.
That turned out to be a good decision as the bite was on as many numerous small trout came boat side and three nice keeper trout and a keeper redfish were in the box before the bite petered out.
We had hit the tide just as it started coming in and the hour or so of the incoming tide was a fish stew.
Nancy was connecting on the live shrimp and I was nailing them on a jig head with a Sureketch grub.
I couldn't catch anything on them in Florida, but they love them here in South Carolina.
