Foggy start Wando 8/31

Got to the landing just before sunrise the fog was so thick I couldn’t see past the front of my boat. I took off and headed up the Wando creaping along trying to find my way. After about a hour long slow agonizing ride to the first spot I was more than happy to anchor up for a while and fish. The bite was slow for the first couple hours during the end of the falling tide and the fog hadn’t lifted yet either. Caught a few dink trout and quite a few small lady fish just before low tide. We decided to go net some more bait and try another area and I’m glad we did. With a livewell full of shrimp and mullet we bounced around for a while until we found some fish. Between three or four areas we picked up a few more dink trout 12" to 14", four or five small reds 10" to 15" and six overslot 24" to 31". Overall great day on the water caught a few fish found lots of bait and nowhere near as much holiday traffic as I was expecting.


From big to small you caught them all!!! Nice!

Nice pix again big dog, post more if you got em of all and good rept - i am headed that way today. All this crowd should take more pix of all fish. If u get into a big school you could take like 100 pix. Killer.

Some really nice reds in the mix there! Looks like you guys did quite well. Which did better for y’all, shrimp or mullet?

Shrimp for sure but the bait snatchers are fierce we must have gone thru 8 to 10 dozen shrimp easily.

I like to use the vudu shrimp if I run into bait snathcers. They hold up great and last longer than my gulp and have more action than doa.

I went out that morning as well. That fog was something else; instead of 30 minutes of topwater trout action, I kept at it for nearly two hours. Thanks for the report!
