Forecast called for 8-10 mph winds from the north on saturday. WRONG! Went out to catch the falling tide on Saturday morning on the Stono. The wind wash BLOWING out of the north. Every spot I went to was a challenge just to cast where I was aiming. Managed to land a 16 in red out of the grass just as the tide was starting to fall. Later, at the edge of grassy flat landed a 26 in red and a ~20 in shark (don’t know what type) and a small stingray. As the wind finally stopped howling, I found a small creek mouth that was alive with bait. Managed two small trout from that spot. Not bad considering the north wind and all the recreators out on the water today.
Reds were caught on cut mullet on the bottom and the trout on minnows under a float.
Moral judgment under girds the entire structure of laws and is necessary for the rational structure of any significant statute. The idea that our laws can stand independent of moral foundation is senseless.----- Albert Mohler.
I’ve never understood that why, with such a large boating and fishing community and all the water around, why the TV stations don’t give decent boating predictions/conditions. You’d think it’d just take seconds to say what the wind and harbor, near shore conditions would be around the area.

Wind = dock fishing; find one with good current, oyster encrusted pilings, and clean water. Shrimp and muds under a float and make sure the bait is tickling the bottom. Sometimes that isn’t good enough and you need to pitch under the dock and slowly drag the bait back out on a light (1/2 oz or less) Carolina rig. A 3 to 4" spot or pinfish crawl along the bottom is sure to get the attention of the biggest red under the dock.
