Well, it could have been a lot worse in the low country, I’m thankful that it wasn’t.
Not so much in the old North State.
This video is hard to watch but holds a lot of good information, ,but like I said, it could have been a lot worse on @Optiker and the 20 inche breaders, not to mention the shrimp , so there’s that
Fished with Capt Stephen Flook yesterday north of town and had a great day. 30 Redfish (I tagged 25) and I caught 1 trout
We came across a redfish around 20" that looked to be dead. I poked it with a net and it shot off (!) #notdead Well, it may very well die but not yet. I thought that was interesting. Water was 43 F in this particular spot but we saw temps as high as 50 F in the ditches.
Ive been known to forget that the pot is in the water. Pulled it yesterday to find two keeper trout in it. There’s at least two trout swimming around as of yesterday. I was surprised they were alive, but they flopped in and swam off strong.
Just to tie this in a bow. Here’s the final result of the freeze of January '25. We’re back in the 50’s and seem to have avoided a significant fish kill this time thankfully!
