Clear skies and clear water on Charleston Harbor

It was a special kind of day on Charleston Harbor Sunday with virtually no wind, a crisp 75 degrees, and no clouds in the sky. 

 We started off Sullivans Island at the grillage and landed one small flounder. The tide turned, incoming, so we pulled anchor and went to the jetties after bait bandits started plowing through cut mullet.

Rods were doubled over on three different boats when we pulled up to the south end of the jetties about an hour after the tide started rolling in. Clarity was down to at least three feet. Still using cut mullet, we landed four redfish (2 slot fish), 20 seabass (3 keepers), and two bluefish. The bite turned off after an hour. 

I normally like to release the reds, but Dad and little brother were in town from Beaufort, so we tossed them in the cooler for dinner.


  

Torture for Cuffy.

Jaws producers had it all wrong

After reading this article, it's now clear the Jaws producers didn't do their research before sending this box office thriller to the big screen. Just because the Great white was over 25 feet and three tons, it doesn't mean the shark could smell Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider's fear on the Orca before eating one third of the crew, and half the boat.



Good read...
