Surf Fishing Action Heating Up

I recieved a report today that surf fishing action is really heating up throughout the area. Catches of big bluefish, whiting, seatrout, weakfish, sharks, and even some big pompano have been reported. Bait of choice has been fresh-dead shrimp.

#2: DOA shrimp- The DOA is by far the best known, and most widely used, prerigged shrimp on the market. Coming in a huge variety of sizes, weights, and colors, the DOA Shrimp has been an old fallback lure for years because when they're biting nothing else, they usually can't pass up a DOA. It's twitching, lifelike action can be fished slowly in grass or under a popping cork for deadly action on seatrout, redfish, and many more. Pair it up with a small worm rattle and Carolina Lunker Sauce scent, and it'll bring the fish in from a football field away.

Low Country Personal Guide Service

I am currently offering fishing lessons/personal guide service to anyone in the Savannah/Hilton Head area who is new to the area or new to saltwater fishing. In just a few hours of one-on-one instruction, you'll be fishing like a pro! Learn tips, techniques, and locations for catching saltwater gamefish such as seatrout, redfish, pompano, cobia, Jack Crevalle, and more! I can teach either flycasting or spin and baitcasting tackle. Hiring a personal guide is much cheaper than a charter captain!

Boater's trip- a guided fishing trip from the comfort of your own boat. Learn hotspots and program your GPS points. Student provides boat and gas, but I will provide bait.- $20/hour

Wadefishing trip- learn wade sight-casting on either the south Tybee flats or Pickney Island, SC. Flats boots or water shoes recommended. -$15/hour

Surf/Pier Fishing- learn techniques for catching big sharks, bull redfish, pompano, or other seasonal gamefish found in the surf.-$10/hour

In all cases, student must bring their own rods/reels and basic tackle with them. I will provide specialized tackle as needed, and will make recommendations on what types of rods/reels/tackle to bring. Please book at least 1 week in advance.
