Can't catch a fish...

General Fishing Discussion
1

I’ve been using a carolina rig with 3 .oz egg 28" floro leader and 1/0 circle hook with mm, frozen shrimp and cut mullet. I can’t catch a fish!:question::question: Have tried at Breach Inlet, at the the Cove at Moultre and just beach while the wife sunned. At both places set up and hr before low and fished until 2 hrs after low. I would love to catch some reds and flounder, any thoughts/ suggestions on how to change my luck???

Thanks for any help/thoughts!

I don’t know anything about the places where you’re fishing; however, I would shorten my leader to no more than 12" or less and go with a smaller weight.

Thanks Dawg…those areas are around Sullivan’s Island.

You might want to try a pyramid sinker in Breach. The current may be rolling the egg sinker faster than the fish can swim.

I’d rather fish than eat.

Huntfish…seems u r fishing from land…this time of year sharks r everywhere esp.from the beach…try and get live bait…either buy or throw cast net(dont no if u have exp. in net tossing though) if cant get live bait then use frozen squid/shrimp at beach try around rocks if can…spottail and Flounder are mostly caught…or I should say percentages are better to catch them in the fall months unless you have a boat…small shark eat good if you prepare then correctly

Thanks for the tips yall!

elad - yeah, I’m land fishing, I don’t have boat right now.

Taz - I’ll try the pyramid , 2 .oz?

Get some live menhaden or finger mullet, change to a 1oz. weight, and try fishing some other spots. I don’t fish from shore much, but some places that come to mind where I know there are fish are the dock at the old Navy Base, the new park in Mt. P, Brittlebank, the old bridge. Hope this helps.

you can catch sharks fairly easily off of the folly pier right before dark.
