River Rockfish

Saltwater Inshore Discussion
1

Guys, it’s been 40 years since I’ve fished the rivers for rockfish (striped bass) - we used to fish bridges at night on the full moon with plugs but also with live shrimp under a float - during the day we fished the ricefield breaks and smaill creek mouths on the outgoing tide. It’s been awhile and I want to try this again. Anybody wish to share advice - is March a good month? Anybody fishing the Combahee, Ashepoo, or Edisto?

Ain’t too proud to ask

During cooler months, I catch a few Stripers (by accident) near Bushy Park when casting suspending lures for Trout. During warmer months, I catch a few Strippers when casting twenties and fifties about…

Turns out Strippers are much easier to catch.

Fishtales, to the warmer-weather variety put up a brutal fight to try to get away when they take your bait?
