After talking it over this week at work, decided to try for some keeper trout early Saturday morning on the Wando. Met up at the 41 ramp at zero dark thirty. As we slipped his Whaler off the trailer into the Wando, I noticed the sun was painting the edges of the horizon. I was thinking to myself what a great start to the day! Tide was still incoming while we eased up a favorite side creek and started pitching artificials along the bank. After a couple of casts and Wham! I reeled in only half of my plastic shrimp! Hmmm, something was definitely hungry. For the first hour we hooked up almost every other cast. If the bite slowed, we moved to a new creek mouth or the other side of the bank. The main goal of the day was to put my co-workers 10 year old son on some nice trout, and after some coaching on his retrieve he connected with a nice one, and then another. He was all smiles. Made for a great day on the water. Co-worker sent me a pick of his dinner plate. Mission accomplished! Tight lines …
