The water temps are back up where they need to be and it’s in the 70’s all week this week and next. As most of you know, we had a trout kill after the first of the year but they’ll come back strong just like they did last time and the time before that. It’s a cycle that’s been going on since the beginning of time. The redfish, black drums, and sheepshead are still here and out in full force. I have plenty of dates available and as always, I GUARANTEE fish! If we don’t catch what we’re after, you go again for free!

This week I’m not that booked up. Actually not booked at all. So I’m getting all of my gear ready for tournament season. Below is a list of things that I think every angler should carry with them when traveling for Redfish or inshore tournaments. These are the things that I take with me. It’s a lot of stuff, I know. But I have a Decked Truck Bed Storage System as well as a regular truck bed tool box. Ideally you can fit all of this in your vehicle so that you’re 100 prepared. I hope this helps! Cheers and good luck! -A floor jack for quick change of tires!
-2 cans of “Fixaflat” -At least 1 roll of shop towels -assorted stainless nuts, bolts, and screws -5200 -Jumper Cables -Extension Chord(s) -grease gun and grease -extra hub and bearings -extra trolling motor and power pole remotes -an extra battery and battery charger(s) -20 volt Impact wrench. Make sure you have stainless sockets for the truck AND the trailer lugs. Often they are different sizes. -Screw gun and charger -First aid kit including Lidocain and syringes if possible (for hook removal) -rubbing alcohol for multiple reasons -Electrical Dikes and some heat shrink but connectors -Scissors!!!! For a hundred different reasons Capt. Jamie Hough 843-364-1759 www.theredfishmafia.com www.flatspotcharters.com The SC Coast has endured an extremely cold winter thus far. Water temps have dipped into the mid 30’s for the first time since the winter of 2010-2011. What does this mean? It’s a cyclical pattern that has been happening for thousands of years. Some of the fish suffer. The majority of those are sea trout. The DNR has not released “trout kill l” estimates as of yet but I’m guessing it’ll be somewhere around 75%. Which is huge. It will take a few years to get back to Good but it will get back there thanks to conservation efforts by SCDNR and the recreational fishing community. In the meantime, our redfish, black drum, and sheepshead populations are doing just fine and the fishing is great. So don’t let the “trout kill” talk keep you off of the water. Get out there and enjoy it! Before you know it, it’ll be 1000 degrees again and there’ll be so many boats on the water that you can’t find a spot to fish.
