Between the farm, real estate (yes I actually had a closing), and running charters, I haven’t taken the time to post. We’ve been fishing almost every day, and while the bite hasn’t been gangbusters, I haven’t cut any charters short, something I offer. when I feel the bite is way off. We’ve been bass fishing for redfish. By this I mean we’re “running and gunning” (fishing multiple spots and not staying very long at the unproductive ones), throwing Gulp 3 inch Shrimp in New Penny and Natural on 1/8th ounce jigheads. I’m running the trolling motor against the tide and having my client throw diagonally, up current, and pull the bait slowly across the bottom. I’m using Gloomis Walleye Series rods, Shimano Stradic 4000 spinning reels, and 8# Ande Backcountry mono. The whole key has been to run spot after spot to find the active fish. While the reds are in practically every spot, it seems most have lock jaw. At least for me. Bob

With her five to nine foot tidal rise and fall every six hours, Edisto fishing can be daunting, to say the least. One of the easiest ways to get started and find fish is to throw topwater plugs on outside bends of creeks and rivers that have oysters. Rebel Pop-R’s on spinning gear and Rapala Skidderwalks or Heddon Super Spook Jrs. in shad colors or white will get the job done.! If you don’t have a trolling motor, get the wife or kid to idle the big motor. Remember where you get the heart stopping blowups, because you can go there later, and catch them on plastics.

Pro Tip: Hang out at Edisto Marina to get the skinny on the fishing! Or book a trip with FishingWithBob!

Fran, Curtis Foster (who’s sick), and I are at Edisto and are taking some friends to Otter Is for Bocci Ball and other fun in the sun. The charter business has been fast and furious as in every day this week! On the FishingWithBob charters we are targeting redfish, as we had a major trout kill (cormorant feasting) here. We’re anchoring around structure and fishing Carolina rigged mud minnows and cut mullet out the back of the boat and throwing Berkely Gulp 3 inch Shrimp on 1/8th ounce jigheads out the front. Works for us!

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
