Yesterday one of my classmates and I were enjoying our senior leave from The Citadel and were blessed with two bulls off Fort Moultrie. Cut mullet was the bait of choice. The first one hit ten minutes before slack low and the other at the end of slack low. We rigged up with 80lb braid main, slip sinker and a 7’ section of 125lb mono with a 9/O circle. Had to put on 14 ounces of weight on to keep the bait still due to the nearly full moon outgoing.Be careful, we lost several rigs to structure on the bottem.
Curious, you were at slack low? So, were you fishing the incoming high tide and at the ‘turn’ they hit or you were fishing at low tide and it was ‘slack’ before going high?
