Saltwater Inshore Reports

Wednesday Morning, went flounder gigging in the Stono Inlet. Water was nice and clear despite the resent rains. Retrieved 3 very nice flounder and 1 hammer head 55" in length.

Awesome nite. Schools of red fish were out in force.

He said he was flounder gigging. He said he retrieved the shark. :wink:

Not necessarily an admission of any guilt. :wink:

The shark was caught drifting a live mullet; I grabbed with a dip net, via rod and reel. While gigging The sharks were swimming right up to the boat. Know weight, just a circle hook. Let the mullet free swim as we gigged flounder.

Are those bonnets eddible?

as far as I know they are edible. Hopefully the people that jump on my spot, catch more than I did. I am used to catching the limit. Never at stono inlet. But it was good for early season run. that place is no secret, every time I go there, there are other boats jockeying for position.
