Not sure where yet, want to get out early as sun comes up and do some topwater action, thinking north of Copahee or Bushy if anyone is interested.
i’ve seen you around. decided on a location yet? north of copahee sounds good, weather looks good.
I was thinking about hitting the water early AM through the morning.
I actually posted something similar (see below) on sckayakfishing.com earlier but no takers yet…I’m up for the Copahee area if you are looking for some company.
Anyone planning on going out in the morning in the Mt. P area? Might be the only chance I get for 2 weeks so I am planning on going early but have to be back around noon.
I usually put in up at Paradise or Copahee but am up for anywhere in Mt. P since it will be low tide at 6:30am.

tight lines!!!
night fishing was good! lots of trout (good size too!), couple a blues, and something big (got tangled in the dock and broke off)
When you go out night fishing, whats your lighting gear you have on the boat mounted/at hand.
Ie, how are you rigged differently at night than during day safety wise?

i have a ball cap with LED lights on it
I have not spent much time at night kayaking and been thinking about giving it a try. I have a headlamp I can use, but is the kayak still required to have a light attached to it?

not sure what is required on a yak - i guess now that it has been brought up we’ll find out
lowcountry paddlers, and I believe they would know, told me only a headlamp is required.
Scot- did ya fish and catch anything? (you don’t have to tell where you were:wink:)
Think that a light is required to be mounted on the kayak that can be seen from 360 degrees, in addition to the whistle and PFD. Remember last year at the BARF most of the guys that came down from ATL had a light mounted on the yak.

For a cheap quick fix… get an old fishing rod, on one you don’t plan to use right away, and duct tape or usea paper clip to hang a chem light on the top and you have a quick and easy light… You can find them for about a buck a peice… now this works really well for early morning when the sun is coming up… for night fishihg I suggest something a little more brighter. They have good and bright battery powered lights that you can pick up at west marine for about $15… I did se a guy down in florida that had his boat rigged with mounted lights, recessed and everything… switches and such… that’s a little extreme for me though…
Paddle faster boys… I hear banjo music!

The trout bite was very good all on grubs , even took a few home for dinner, all caught north about 20- 30 minutes from the put in, all on rising tide
Jeff got a red on his favorite bank on a grub
Met Tarpon120 at the landing and showed him all are secret spots to the north:smiley:

I think night fishing would be a lot of fun if I could get a kitchen pass. I’ll be glas when this school year is over, my kid’s projects have been consuming too much of my time.
So much water, So little time
