I decided to hit the Wando this afternoon for the falling tide…don’t know if my temp gage on my depth finder is broke but It was reading 59 degrees…Anyway, had a good day…started out up in Beresford…Wanted to hit the barge but there were boats all around it so I went up Beresford and hit some docks…Pulled 2 trout off of one dock on MM/jighead combo…On the way back out I was able to find a spot open on the barge…There were boats on each end of it so I hit a spot that I’ve caught fish before in the middle of the barge on the main channel side…1st cast WHAM…slot redfish in the boat…few more cast…nothing…moved on up the wando to some docks and Caught about 2 or 3 off of one dock with the biggest being 27 inches!!..moved up a little more a few more docks up and hooked about 3 more reds off that dock…Moved one dock down and 1st cast I get a hit…as I was reeling it in… I thought to myself, this fish feels like a flounder…But it can’t be …Not in January…Yep…Flounder on January 28th…I about messed myself…I couldn’t believe it…GOT a slam in January!!!..Flounder was 16.5 inches!!
All Fish were released…both trout and the flounder were caught on MM/jighead combo. 4 or 5 reds caught on sapphire shine jerk shads and the other reds caught on MM/jighead combo also!!!..What a great day to be on the water
Here are some pics!!

In the imortal words of Vince Lombardi; “What the hell is going on out there!” Well done Bugs! Looking at the forecast, I’m sarting to feel a little tickle in my throat, fever might be up as well. And, oh yea, I think I’m gonna start coughing any minute now. Wednesday at work? Got something in my eye on that, can’t see it happening. Cough, sputter, wheez!!!
Hey Bugs Happy New Year Fishing. It sounds like you had a great day. I caught one of my the biggest doormat flounder in the Cooper on Christmas Day 95. Talk about some beautiful fillets and the “Flounder Francais” ahhhh what can I say but YEOWZAAAA MMMM, what and could be bad with Marsala a lil White wine mushrooms,artichoke hearts and virgin olive oil.
