Launched from Station Creek Landing (St Helena Island) about 2 hours before low tide. Bait was everywhere. Couldn’t find anything but sharks though. But I had some fun with a couple of nice-sized bonnetheads. I got one on video: http://youtu.be/y84dBKLPiKE Please pardon the crappy editing.
I did catch and release one 19" red before the day was over though. And I saw what I think was a mink. Do they live in the marshes around here?

That was a nice size bonnet. Thanks for sharing! Never seen one hooked under a float, every one I have ever caught have been on bottom rigs.
It was essentially a bottom rig when he hit it because I threw it right next to the bank.

Nice catch and I like the video. What were you using for bait?
I had some big honkin’ live shrimp.

That is definitely what I saw. That’s one of the things I love about saltwater fishing…you just never know what you will see.

Stopped at a little bait shack beside the road on the way to St Helena from Beaufort. Don’t remember the name, but maybe it was Atkins (?).
