I fished the Wando area from the Paradise Island ramp today. I am a lazy bum. I didn’t even leave the house until 11:30 this morning. I was out on the water until about 7:00 or so.
I caught a 14 inch trout, 18 inch ladyfish, and 11 inch flounder. Released them all. It was a beautiful day on the water.
I started fishing with a lead head and a rubber shad - one bite, but no attack - must have been a crab:smiley:.
Next, I looked for reds and tried a gold spoon - still no luck.
Zarra Pup - same.
Chartruse Mister Tister - not a bite.
I loaded the minnow trap and got some minnows. Caught all three fish on mud minnows, using a float.
Do you drop your trap off somewhere or just le tit hang under the yak? I just bought a trap and am not sure where to set it. I was thinking about dropping it off in a creek while I fish and coming back but I don’t want it swiped…
As you head north out of Mt. Pleasant on Hwy. 17, about a 1/2 mile past the Copahee Landing. On your left is Chandler Rd. Should be a big “Pepper Plantation Lots for Sale” sign on your left too. Across 17 from Chandler Rd. is a funeral home. Take left on Chandler and wind all the way back 'til you hit the river.
