This time of year, striped bass will move out of the main-lake deep water in many of South Carolina’s reservoirs and up into some of the longer tributary arms, and one of the top baits is large gizzard shad – which are often right under your boat. […]
A community of anglers that had existed only in cyberspace became a reality in late March as anglers from 13 states convened on Santee Cooper for the KBF Open, a 2-day bass-fishing event organized by Chad Hoover, the creator of Kayak Bass Fishing.com. […]

For many inshore anglers, winter is the time to pare down from a multitude of targets until warming water temperatures and baitfish bring the rest of the schools back out to play in the spring. […]

On an early winter’s day across the Lowcountry coast, the daily rise and fall of the tide may be lost on most people, but for Capt.

After two years, fishermen are recognizing that voluntary catch-and-release efforts to help speckled trout recover from winter kills in 2009 and 2010 are paying off with more and larger trout this season. […]
