We woke up Saturday morning and it was beautiful outside!!! Matt and I started talking about how we have been cooped up in the house all week long and we were trying to decide what would be a great way to spend this warm Saturday. I thought maybe go to our other hunt club in Bamberg but then I thought FISHING!...
I checked the fishing report for Charleston and everywhere I looked the fish were biting! Whiting (my favorite!), Sheephead, and the occasional drum were biting on cut bait or shrimp. We loaded up the gear and headed to Folly Beach! The boys were so-o-o-o-o excited to be able to fish and play on the beach.
The ride was quick, only 1.5 hours. We had to stop at Walmart for a few snacks and drinks and then it was off to the beach. We found a spot to park which had very close beach access. The temp difference on the beach verses the temp. by the car was astounding!!! The forecast was SUNNY 73' but I don't think that was for actually being on the beach (at least not in the wind.)
Matt showed the boys what the line feels like against the current in the water verses the lake or river. They were amazed at the difference. They kept Matt on his toes by constantly thinking they had a fish when it was just the current.... but hey, that what little boys do right?! Ethan was so funny playing in the sand and running around like crazy! They actually complained about having to go to the car and warm up! I was freezing but they were excited to be there and didn't care how red their little hands were.
Needless to say I am convinced that the piers and tackle shops tell everyone that the fish are biting to lure us to the beach... We fished from 3pm-5:30pm and not even a nibble. I mean we didn't even have a shark bite the bait! Dane spotted a pair of dolphins just beyond the breaking waves and that was pretty. I would have snapped a pic but I was holding a rod and could not get to the camera quick enough. Maybe they scared the fish away! hmmmm.....
Anyway! Until next time.... go enjoy some sun!
