Sheepshead Bite!

February provided us with some really solid action on the sheepshead! They are terrific table fare if you catch legal size fish. These fish have funny looking mouths that they use to eat hard crustaceans like crabs, mussels, oysters, and barnacles.

We expect the sheepshead bite to stay solid through the month of March and into early April. The redfish bite has been good with plenty of lower slot fish being caught along with a couple of chances at some really large ones which are a blast on light tackle!

We have been mostly catching and releasing the redfish. These fish are basically residents of our local waters and it’s important that we take care of them so we have a healthy population for generations to come. These fish are a lot of fun to catch and are under pressure throughout the year so we try to make an effort to never take an excessive amount of fish and to handle them carefully.

According to The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources our redfish numbers have rebounded some in the last year or so which is fantastic! We want to keep this trend going and will do our part in this.

Later in March we will see some of the large Black Drum coming nearshore to spawn as well as some bull redfish starting to show up late March through April. As the water continues to warm up things should really start to come to life!
