Murrell's Inlet SC Fishing Report

Thursday 4/5

Water temp 62
Air temp - heck if I know but it was warm enough not to have the enclosure and to get sun burned on my neck *;D
Had one other person on board - first mate Cory.
Started out pulling minnows in the creek. *Tide was wrong for that so we anchored in the mouth of some intersecting creeks where I had caught flounder in the past - no luck. *Ended up fishing beside of the north jetty near the end. *Landed 2 nice black drum.



You'll never believe who I saw - Hammer in his Bayliner *;D

Me and the 1st black drum on fresh shrimp.

Cory and the 2nd drum:

A sea urchin that was on my anchor when I pulled it up. *I have a video of it too that I will post. *It was moving all around!

He's no "Blue" Runner. * Just a regular ol "Point" Runner - far inferior *::)

Pulling in to the dock



Friday 4/6

Water temp 56
Air temp - cold as a whiz - like 45 for the high and windy.
Had brother in law Robin and nephew Ross aboard along with 1st mate Cory.
Tried to anchor back on the jetty. *Got anchored good but current swept the lines away from the rocks. *No luck. *Tried trolling. *Wind was too strong. *Got skunked *:-/

Lil man got tired and had a nice place to relax:

Back at the room in the parking lot:


Saturday 4/7

Water temp 55
Air temp - cold as a whiz - like 42 for the high.
Went straight out to 3 mile reef. *Grabbed a couple of blues and micro seabass. *Came back in and anchored on the tip of the north jetty. *Landed 4 more blues but nothing else. *The birds were working over the blues. *Looked like the gulls were feeding on glass minnows.
We managed to get out pretty early. *7am pulling out of the ramp

The back seat ended up being a great tackle rigging station.







Later that evening a walk on the pier

nice pics BR......looks like a lot of fun. sorry you did not catch more fish.....maybe next time... ;)

[Blue_Runner]

Its ALWAYS hit or miss this time of year. *Luckily, I wasn't expecting to catch much if anything at all. *You've got to realize - I'm no AIRSLOT *;D

Don't forget to click on the video links - :D

[C YENSEN]

cool video, looks pretty calm....no nose divers that trip ::)

and i know that most of us would love to be able to catch fish like Airslot. ;)

Blue nice shots and video, you did well my friend, just to be out this time a year is a treat. While it's true we can't all be Airslot's you did good ;D
First mate looks like a natural on the V ;)

First mate looks like a natural on the V

I keep one eye on him at all times JIC ;)

just to be out this time a year is a treat

Yes I totally agree. I can't believe Slot was taking snow pics at the same time I was taking fishing pix :)

Cy, it got really rough out there at 3 mile. I had to keep on the gas to keep the bow up. We were making only 8 to 10 mph on the way back in. I would have taken a video but it wouldn't have mattered because a little bit of spray was sneaking through my enclosure that would have ruined the cam. Plus I had to hold on!

By the way, I didn't notice it but my wife pointed out that lil man did not have on his life jacket in the cuddy. Apparently his daddy let him take it off to nap. I would have never allowed that since I could have been ticketed had the man showed up ::)

He was safe though cause we were in the creek at that point. But still.....

Blue out.

[Airslot]

Somebody picking on 'Slot round here ;D Don't sweat it, broad shoulders and thick skin ;D

And like was said, I was stuck in the snow, all weekend. It's good...no great to be back at the waters edge ;D

[bassarama]

Nice report BR.

Thanks for sharing your pics and video.

Man you have a fine looking V by the way. ;)

[Blue_Runner]

For real tho, glad you are thawing out up there Slot. Hopefully those flatties didn't run too far due to the cold snap.

Thanks Bass, preshate it ;)
