the choices are endless. Inshore you have spottail(redfish, red drum), speckled trout, flounder, and a ton of misc trash fish. We get some small blues inside as well. All you'll need for this is light inshore spinning reels, I use 7ft medium action 10 lbs rods Penn 4300 SS's, spooled with 25lb braid. Live bait under a float, or lead head jigs. Nothing fancy. If you want to venture outside, theres the endless undersize black sea bass, all at 11" for bottom fishing. I've heard the spades have been showing up earlier, don't know pesonally, you might have to run out further. Offshore should be on fire(Tuna, Dolphin, Wahoo), but its a bit far for a V to get to, figure a minimum run to 35 miles out, hottest spots are 72 miles out. If we run up the river, we'll be going from salt to fresh. Stripers are in the river, I don't know much about catching them though. Large mouth, catfish, crappie, brim, all the fresh water stuff. If we go into the lake, there are some monster catfish and plenty of stripers. Check out charlestonfishing.com for fishing updates, trends, and info. Make sure to check the SCDNR regulations for fishing liscense and limits. If we go up the river, you'll will need the fresh and saltwater liscense. I didn't want to be the "camp director" with the clip board and whistle, figured I'd just let every one do what they want and we'd meet up at the end of the day. If there is something that you'd be interested in doing, let me know. Do some research on line about all the sights to see around here. I'm lucky enough to live here, I can see them any time.
BTW, WIlly, If you come early enough, I have a pig hunt set up for you.
