Anyone else interested or wanna go? Climbing to savanna or myrtle would be my space to travel. Of you want Arkansas we can talk

Dove too. I'm just not a good game guy but even that o could be persuaded

Need you to take me to Bulls Bay and show me the ropes out there. I've been a couple times in my boat but i was just bumping around and not doing anything too serious. Don't really know where to go and it gets shallow as shit so I was worried about getting stranded out there.

How about an Eagle Ray? I was in north inlet a couple years ago and saw an eagle ray jump out of the water about 10 feet away from my boat. Was one of the cooler things I have seen out there.

I have seen one jump once before, at least a ray of some kind, it was cool as hell. Spinner sharks are pretty neat too, saw one jump right by the Garden City pier last summer, spinning around just like its name suggests.

I have only ever farted around in Bulls Bay, like you not really knowing my way around. Beautiful up there, & quiet. Supposed to be great fishing & shrimping up there.

Georgetown jetties are a bit of an overlooked gem too. Lots of huge reds there, bigger than Charleston, and I hear as good as anywhere in SC for tarpon.

Rebar,
I am in Charleston and I head offshore alot to dive. I used to run out several weekends a month; but the shop I taught at burnt down. Actually, I just signed up yesterday to participate in the SC Aquarium's Julionfish contest to see who can kill off the most lionfish during the month of July.

Most of my inshore fishing and shrimping is south/west of Charleston. I prefer the Toogoodoo and the Wadmalaw river when I go out. Hate dealing with all of the traffic closer in to town. I am always up being on the water. Shoot me a DM if your interested.

I'll have to look back in my pictures for the red I caught in mcClellenville. Believe it was about 48in 30 lbs. Fun times.

Seen all types sharks. Had a 6ft eel come in 6in of my face in key west. Cool as fuck.

I've got depth finders but the sand bars change daily and definitely annually. I'd be honored to go. I caught a 40+ red there on a cracked crab. One of the top 3 fighting fish i ever landed. I had pics but they burned uo

I knew a dnr wild life officer who swore no great whites off our coast. Ripley sea aquarium caught one and I proved him wrong. I've also seen a black panbther which they all deny. But I think they don't want red neck posse to exterminate them

Now that they have tagged a bunch of great whites, we have seen that they actually have been in Charleston harbor, at least on occasion.

30lbs is my biggest. Have caught a ton in the 12-20lb range, but not many over 20lbs. 30 is a big damn red. Know some people who fish the Gtown jetties alot, and they catch 20-30lb+ redfish all the time. Might just he because so many less people fish there than Charleston.

Im off 41 in Phillips community. Any time. Got a 15 john w 20 yama. Certified to dive but been 5 yrs
I'll dm my cell. Could use a fishing buddy. I hunt birds fowl and small game. Deer hunting is like a second job these days.

Bulls Bay and McClelanville are the hit spots for sure. Hamlin is great red on live bait if you can negotiate the moguls. If any yallccome down i can put us on bites. I can't promise records but we'll catch. It isn't a dead river like stono

Terrible picture. Guy we were fishing with was a stickler working for DNR. He wanted it back in the water as soon as we got it in.
I'd agree w dnr guy. I normally catch and release unless flounder or trout and I don't keep flounder normally. The fisheries are down these days. I think snapper just reopened

Rebar,

Here is a video I shot last year of the Comanche wreck off of Chas.

Enjoy!!

I had a barracuda dart by me within 6in there. I learned there and the 60. I used less oxygen than any noob ever recordered I don't remember how much. They even tested the tanks and gauges to verify. They wanted to me to become an instructor. Also said if you can dive off Charleston you can dive anywhere in the world bc of the currents and vis

I used to fish off the bridge for years. Caught a lot of sharks and a few Ray's. Probably got spooled a few dozen times

Alot of big shit swims under that bridge, heading to and from the all you can eat buffet of grey bay, hamlin sound, & the ICW that are right behind there. I feel like there is hardly a bad spot to fish from Charleston harbor north to G'town, love that area.

Fishing winyah Bay for giant cats using cut shad. I had a thick 8 ft or so surf rod w 100lb test. Either a big shark or a sub got my line and spooled 400 yards and I never turned its head or slowed it down at all. Sometimes the subs will camp in the bay if they gotta wait to get up the river to goose creek. Or so I've heard from some navy gays
