Nearshore

Took the wife and kids out and planned to bottom fish for some bsb or jelly balls for spades. No jelly balls in sight and the kids fell asleep when we got out there.

After watching another boat hook up twice with a king and spanish in minutes, I started digging through my tackle to find some spoons. Pulled out a sabiki rig and started catching bait fish for the livewell, just got enough before a cuda deciced to attack my rig.

Anyway trolled for a couple of hours and caught one king, one spanish, a shark and a big a__ cuda. Kids slept the whole time. Wife had a ball fighting the fish.

Did you see any spades? Was thinkin about trying at the 60 sunday

I did not see any spades, nor jellyballs.

baycreek,
I saw a guy this morning on the outskirts of Fripp Inlet with a dip net on the bow. It appearred he was dipping them up. Have heard of a few being caught at the Hunting island reef(6HI)

How far off were you finding kings and spanish?

T-

Sounds like fun! Sorry I missed it this week!

Maybe I can find some of those fish next time I come down there.


Just trying to learn every bit I can about saltwater fishing…

Palmettores,

I was in the vicinity of the Edisto 40. I’m sure they are more abundant at the 60. tight lines…

Stopped at “B” can sat. noon & got jelly balls. Went to the 40 but did not see or catch any spades. Chumed for almost an hour. Caught Spanish pulling spoons. Has anyone found spades at the 40 or 60?
