Fished from 7-12 this morning.
Real nice and calm in the AM and windy by midday.
Fish were biting pretty good!
Caught 8 reds, including 2 pigs that I broke off on some bad line Power Pro Slick (Hate it!) Biggest at 31" and 11 lbs, a real hoss. Caught on Gulp Sapphire Shine 5" jerk bait.
Also had 11 trout to 18.5", caught on Trout Tricks - - what else?
Air temp: 40-72F
Water Temp: 53F
Either side of Low Tide
Congrats on a good day out! I have those trout tricks, haven’t had a chance to use them really. Any suggestions on best way to work them through the water?

Wouldn’t ax your spot but will ax how deep were the trout? I haven’t been able to find any around Wadmalaw lately. Thanks
You can’t catch fish on a dry line
As little as 4 ft and as deep as 20 ft. They were staged up on creek bends where there was a current break. The 20 ft ones were in a deep hole. I cast out the trout trick, waited for a count of about 20 sec until it reached bottom, then began the jerk-jerk-drop retrieve. They were on the very bottom.
I forgot to add that I missed a lot of bites due to the wind and trying to manage the bow in my line. I ended up positioning myself to cast nearly straight into or straight down wind. I would feel the bite, but the line bow would cause a slight delay before hook set. I could have done a better job compensating for that - and I did… eventually
PS. Had my reel respooled with original PowerPro green 10# today, thanks to CA Summerville
