Woke up early to be on the water at daylight, but the wind was howling, so I decided to wait and see if the wind would lay and the rain would hold off. About 9:00, the radar looked good, and the wind dropped back a little to about 10 SW. The tide was 2/3 in, so I decided to try the trout on the main river (N. Edisto). Fishing was slow but steady on the flats around oyster bar rips in 2-5 feet of water. Ended up with 30+ trout on a variety of soft plastics on a 1/8 oz. jighead. Not huge numbers, but the quality was good with several 17-20 inches. After the tide switched and got down a couple of feet, I started concentrating on reds. The wind died, but it started to rain steadily. The water stayed clear, so I stuck it out until lightning started to pop. The reds were willing to chase baits (Flukes and Assassins) worked quickly along the surface on the grassline. Ended up with 20 or so with all being over slot except 2; largest, 31 inches. Electric Chicken seemed to be color of choice for both species today. Left em biting.
Good stuff.

there is no science to avoiding lightning strikes- if there were, only non-scientists would get electrocuted.
