Few fishermen will argue that flounder prefer to feed in the lower third of the water column. Their body shape suggests that they spend most of their time along the bottom. As a result, lures and baits should stay on or near the bottom to capture a flounder’s attention. When using live bait, the choice of terminal tackle can make a big different in presentation. […]
You’ll catch more flounder if you use scent additives or scented lures like Gulp! when flounder fishing. […]
With its headquarters in Ladson, S.C., just a few miles from the saltwater fishing mecca of Charleston, folks at Z-Man Fishing Products understood what the cold-stun kill of speckled trout this past January could mean to local fisheries. […]
A rubber net is an important piece of gear. Not only does it make landing a fish easier, it is slicker than monofilament or nylon nets, and that prevents damage to the slime coat of the fish. […]
While inshore gamefish in the Surf City area will strike natural baits such as shrimp and mullet, they also take kindly to rattling lures. […]
Slip-bobber rigs consist of a piece of thread tied into a knot on the fishing line, a glass or plastic bead, then the cork. The knot slides up and down to adjust the depth you’re fishing, the bead keeps the bobber from slipping over the knot and the cork slides freely up and down the line, stopping when it reaches the knot. When using slip bobbers in strong current, you must use enough weight to keep the bait down, otherwise the current will push the slip bobber through the line all the way back to the hook. It may take as much as an ounce when the current is really ripping, so make sure your slip cork is big enough to handle it. […]
Think about freshwater gamefish that try to eat topwaters, soft-plastic lures and live baits: largemouth and smallmouth bass, trout, bream and stripers, to name a few. […]
Slip corks aren’t just for bream fishing. They’re good for saltwater fishing too, even for big fish. […]
South Carolina anglers will have new redfish regulations to follow, effective July 1, after Gov. Henry McMaster signed a bill that has moved between the house and senate for much of this year. […]
It’s that time of year when just getting on the water and making a few casts can make an angler feel like Midas turning everything to gold. Inshore anglers have been feeling that for the past week or so up and down the coasts of both Carolinas. If you’re not fishing right now, then you’re missing out. […]
