Fished Friday morning from 9 until 12 in a creek along the backside of James Island. Started with Trout Tricks, DOA Shrimp and some other swim baits for nothing. Caught some mud minnows as the tide bottomed out and things turned around, although I think it was more of the tide turning that got the fish biting. Ended up with 6 reds, all slot size, and a steady pick of crabs as I was walking the creek bank and spotting them. I moved to Charleston last August and got my hands on 13’ whaler just over a month ago and have been figuring things out since. I picked up the family from Demetre park dock and spent the afternoon at the same creek on the beach. The weather was perfect, greasy calm in the harbor at 1 in the afternoon. I had one good size mullet left and threw it out not expecting much due to it’s size, not true, hooked something big right away but it came off after about 10 seconds.
So calm on the ride back, my boy passed out on the bow.
That’s awesome. On the 3rd pic down, would that location be good for launching a kayak or small boat? I wasn’t sure if there is a road leading to it that’s open to the public.

Good fish, I live on James Island and I just started to kayak back on James Island Creek. Is this where you caught these? I have caught a couple back there but have seen a ton of bait in the skinny water.
