Went to the Stono River this morning and got a mess of Whiting. Caught about 20 and had 16 keepers. Caught two Trout that were under size and two Bonnet Head Shark. Can only keep 1 Bonnet Head so the second one caught got the free ride and it was twice as big as the one I took home. Also got a Star Fish. It went back in also.

Was nice out there. Just enough breeze to keep the gnats off.

The filament on the dorsal is a little shorter.

WOW Gordon! Looks like you cleaned the Stono. A few look like bullhead whitings. I know the feast will be good. What was your bait? Cut shrimp??
