Nice Ncduck . Looks like a great day to be on the water. How do you like the 6th sense lures? I picked up a few haven't really used them yet 👍🎣
Yeah I picked a couple at Bass Pro, but I haven’t tied one on yet either… we were marking fish in the 8’ - 12’ range and some down deep in the 18’ - 20’ range, but the first 5-6 fish we’re hitting that DT-10 so me and Dan both tied those on and settled for quantity not size. If you get some on one of those six sense pm me and I will do the same. Tight lines!
Dan and I finally got out this year… wow, it’s July… it’s 90 degrees and really sunny and hot… it only took us 10 minutes to get hooked up on some spots, white bass and white perch. Found them hitting baits at 10’ deep in 20-25’ of water off points. We got several double hook ups and this little guy decided to jump off the hook and into the bait bucket. Probably lost 5 and landed 20 in 2 hours… it was so hot we ran out of cold ones in 2 hours as well and that was a deciding factor on calling a day… tight lines!
My son captains a boat here called the Teasers II. Today they got this Red Snapper that was 40 in. long. The season for them is not open right now so it was returned to the sea. This fish would have been close to if not a state record. Wanted to share it with Y,all.
I wonder if Virginia and South Carolina have the same mindset
This is straight from the SC DNR website…. SC typically has “looser” regulations than NC and surrounding states.
My buddy and I have delayed our trip a couple days, now we are looking to go this Tuesday to Charleston SC, the seas should be manageable by then, today they are getting hammered with 14’ waves… no thanks… anyway we are looking at hitting the Charleston 60 and venturing out to Y-73 and Comanche Reefs. One of my buddies friends may go with us, he guides part time and I will ask him what the latest regulations are. Tight Lines!
Totally does not make sense to punish the recreational fishermen vs the commercial. In Bama this year Commercial Red Snapper harvest was down by half. So, the powers to be did the fair thing. They kept the recreational season the same, but reduced the recreational catch to match percentages with what the commecial boys caught. I believe the only reason it was down was the $^!**% weather we had and the commercial boys could'nt fish as much as last year. Alabama has the largest manmade atrificial reef system in the US, and it is loaded with all varieties of snappers and reef fishes. Not just Red Snapper. Good luck with your dilemma. Write your congressman.
