Managed to pull donnie and Roo out of bed little before 8…I had already loaded the boat , so we were on the water by 830. Bait was no problem so we fished a little then tried a few places for shrimp…then fished a little again…little boat got a work out today.We ran up the cooper…then up the intercoatal mt pleasat side…then back through the cut towards the stono… wind breezed up around lunch time with the changing tide…but was a pretty day on the water…bite was hit and miss in some spots…but there seemed to be little fish most everywhere we went… and they didnt seem to be too picky when it came to grubs. Weird but we did better with grubs today than with the live shrimp…tried them under cork and carolina rig style on the bottom…bait stealers munched their legs off but only caught a couple reds/trout on them.Finally headed home around 530…tired and wind burnt but smiling the whole way home! What a great day on the water…heres some pics from today…including some strange stuff we saw…
ahmm.think that would hurt if it rammed you??
Saw 3-4 police type boats with lights on near the marina so went to check it out…“what the heck”… we are thinking…then we see this…
Great photos and comments. As a kayaker, I can tell you that figuring out the current doesn’t require that much instruction. If a newbie kayaker can’t figure out how to handle the currents in about 30 seconds, they don’t need a lesson in kayaks and currents, they need a physics lesson. I’m glad to see your assortment of half-baits. I use some of the same baits, and I went through quite a few on Saturday as well. Between the pinfish and the crabs, they didn’t stand a chance.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.

and please know that I do respect kayakers as much as boaters as they are one and the same…and have much harder conditions to deal with than boaters in a lot of ways…just didnt think getting a class of 7 or 8 new kayakers to hang behind a busy dock and near barnacle covered rocks while you talked about water eddies was a good thing to do… couple of those folks looked scared to death as they tried to come around the end of the dock and take a hard right up behind the floating dock…one almost lost it…the current was in full flood force and anyone who knows the cut knows how tough that can be for even the experienced boater…
