I was just wondering if anyone else has as much as a problem with fishing in the restricted waters as i do, all the best spots seem to be restricted to me?
I’ve caught a few by the subs but always at night

There is so much water that is not restricted,why do you have to fish the restricted?
There used to be a spot where there was a nice size oyster bed about 15 feet off the grass line. We used to fish by it for 10 -15 minutes or until we saw security boat coming toward us. We MURDERED the trout there and this spot was about 300 yards from the ocean side of yellow house creek. We would see the security boat round the corner and we’d crank up and run into yellow house creek and hide. What a way to fish. Went back to this spot last year and cannot find any signs of those oysters and we fished this spot for years. I wondered if the Govt. destroyed this spot to keep us away?

fish bowl you wanna tell me a spot where you can catch 30 plus on the incoming tide, one spot in the restricted waters wer absolutely kill fish but sometimes we get run off and others we dont
What exactly is the rule and area you guys are referring to? I have heard that part of the cooper is off limits, but I have never been really clear on what it is.
Do the feds really think they can protect a ship in that area.Any experienced diver can strap on explosives and swim His way in.I suggested a long long time ago they issue special equipment to security checked local fisherman and let them fish and observe the entire area.More local eyes on the water has to be better then 1 CG boat.

You may want to try that without tanks or any metal on your person .

The United States Air Force is in charge of securing the 6 mile stretch of water. I have seen a Charleston County Sheriffs Office boat chasing people around. I do think it’s pretty dumb…If someone was going to attack the submarines or one of the cargo ships that will not stop anything.

ya i got ran off again today but by luck we found another spot so it turned out to be a good night but they need to decide if they are going to let me fish there or not. i talked to the dnr about it and they said that there is a person up in a tower who tells the boats who to run off and who not to so i guess it depends who is workin in the tower. to sign does say though that the restricted water is on the main river and where i fish is in a creek and not on the main river
Their rules are that no one can fish within eyesight of any of there facilities. They don’t want terrorists scoping out the place. Or so they claim.
ya they tell me that some times but other times they dont say anything
