The trout bite (using artificals) on the south side of Edisto has been dependent on the water clarity, which has been pretty much nonexistent this year. On the rare days of 1 1/2 to 2 foot visiblity we’ve been catching 20 to 60 trout on Trout Tricks with a good number of keepers. The reds on gulps/jigheads and Carolina rigs have been the mainstay of my charter business. That’s my beautiful niece, Tara with the redfish, which we kept for a family fish fry. Tara was on Edisto for another beautiful niece’s (Christena with her first deer) wedding last weekend. We helped Edisto’s economy as we had 140 guests from Memphis (the bride) and Philadelphia (the groom). Speaking of deer, I will be changing my hats, to and fro, from FishingWithBob to Bwana Bob. I am doing some limited trophy buck (and doe) hunts on our family farm (Wayfar Farm)in eastern Barnwell county. Located on the Salkehatchie River, Wayfar Farm has been intensively managed for deer and turkeys for 25 years. Give me a call to talk about killing a state record buck (like the one in the pic) and the exciting experience of harvesting does on safari style hunts. I am only taking a very few clients each year and would like for most to be a father/son (daughter or mother) type deal. I promise you have never seen a hunting property like the one my father developed. 803-300-2780
