One of my problems is access since I fish from the shore but I've gotten some tips from my brother in Brazoria, Texas and from a few people here so I think things should improve. My specialty was catching rainbow trout in the mountain lakes of Southern New Mexico with bait I made myself so the lure thing is something I need to practice.
That's where I go. Near the lighthouse. Does anyone sell live mullet and/or shrimp at this time of year? If so I might throw on a mask and run in real quick. But first I'll try your other suggestions. I just bought a jar of those Gulp Alive shrimp in liquid for $20 that I'll try too.
Thanks Gordon. I've been fishing from shore mostly on the Stono River and Folly Beach. I caught a few at both places when it was warmer and I could net live shrimp and mullet but almost none now. I wanted to get a boat but the Covid has made me avoid human contact and I was considering a kayak but I'm 6'9" and 270 lbs so don't know if that's an option. I'm a retired high school math teacher so I have unlimited fishing time. I'll try the frozen shrimp red jig head. Thanks so much for the advice!
Thanks RJS. I've been trying to avoid people as much as possible so I haven't gone to the bait shops. I have a pretty good selection of plastics and top waters and my brother in Brazoria has given me a lot of advice but it gets a little colder here so I'm wondering if there's any special techniques or lures for this area. I've tried slowing things way down but haven't had much luck.
Hello fellow fish heads. I just recently moved to the Charleston area from New Mexico to be near my daughter and granddaughter so my fishing experience is mainly with rainbow trout in the mountains of Southern NM. I'm interested in learning new techniques to catch speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. I caught some when it was warmer using mullet and shrimp from my castnet but now it's cold and that's not an option.
