Gordon Loc: Charleston South Carolina
 
Been here a week and the weather has not been nice to us. Finally got to fish under seven mile bridge out of the wind. Got our share of different species. Hog fish, Pork fish, Grunts, Yellow tail snapper. DNR came and checked us and let us know we could not catch Pork Fish on a hook. They were considered a tropicsl fish. DNR told me years ago as long as you keep them in a live well you were legal. Laws change. Put them all back along with the undersize Hog Fish and Yellow Tail. Got one we didn't know what it was so I'm open for your thoughts.

Great catching Gordon! I know the frustration of limited time/poor weather conditions very well. Glad you got out and hooked a bunch. I have no idea about the fish, nothing like that up here. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
