Hit the river with a client this morning for a Kayak Fishing 101 trip. Fished the falling tide in order to be able to point out different types of structure and talk about why they hold fish at different tide stages.
Started a little slow with not much action on the mid tide flats, so cruised to some well know oyster bars and creek mouths as the tide got lower. Client got a little surprise trout on the troll, then we proceeded to spank the reds at multiple stopping points.
Stopped counting after a dozen with biggest at 27 and smallest at 18. They hit everything we threw today. Biggest trick of the day was patience… no dice fishing fast, everything was ultra slow or dead drifted.
Water clarity > 3 feet until the boat traffic picked up then to 0 almost instantly in the shallow water.
Most fish staged in 7 - 10 feet on the first drop off.
Posted some pics in the July 11 folder on the Kayak Fish SC facebook page.
