Finally, clearer water on the South side of Edisto. While it’s not an optimum clarity, it’s clear enough to target trout. And that’s just what Mary Sue, Richard, and Buddy did this AM on Trout Tricks and menhaden. Reds on Gulps. Mr. Bobo (Bob Reynolds)called, from his stop on the way back to Bennett’s Point, with eight trout in the cooler, and if he can catch……..just kidding Mr. Bobo.
Get out there, this might not last long. Bob

I’m starting to get more calls from people looking for a good deal on hunting tracts  in the Barnwell area and waterfront houses on Edisto.  I recently sold a house on Store Creek for $315,000.

Hunting land in Barnwell, Allendale, Bamberg, and Orangeburg counties are the most reasonably priced land around.  We’ve got the longest deer season (4 1/2 months ) in the United States, no limits, and no weapons restriction.  Orangeburg County historically harvests the biggest racked bucks each year.

If you want to find your dream hunting tract, where you can grow corn like mine above, for you wildlife, give me a call.

These four young men, Bailey, Boyd, Eric, and Branden really paid attention on the charter this AM and were fishing like pros before the morning was over. Steve, Bailey’s father did a great job as the mate. Boyd caught this 28 inch red on the next cast after a similar sized red cut him off on a piling. All the reds on Gulps, trout on Trout Tricks and menhaden, and three Hammerheads on menhaden. Trips like this one, with such cool young men, are what makes my job a blessing.

The Big and Little Salkehatchie Rivers, which come together and form the Combahee, and  South and North Edisto, which form the Edisto, have the prettiest Redbreasted Sunfish, a bream type fish that only lives in running water.  These are blackwater rivers, so named for the tannic acid from hardwood trees in the water.  The Edisto is the longest, undammed blackwater river in the world.  And ounce for ounce, the Redbreast is the fightingest fish in the world, according to the many who pursue this sweet tasting fish. And now is the time!  The full moon periods in May and June, when they are spawning, is prime Redbreast time.

The pics are from the canal on my farm which is connected to the Big Salkehatcheie.  The gator is every bit of ten feet!  Watch out, Curtis Foster

Topwater is on! The east wind are clearing up Edisto’s waters and the trout topwater bite is on. I’m putting the trolling motor down and fishing anywhere near deep water. I’m (and some of my clients are) throwing Rapala Skidderwalks, Heddon Super Spooks, and Super Spook Jrs. in Bone and Black with Chartruese head. I’m puttin a split ring on the plug, if it doesn’t have one, and replacing the front hook with a red one. I’m throwing these on a rod with a fast tip (G Loomis 7 foot crankbait) and 50# Power Pro braid. This is a great way to cover tons of water and locate fish. They are there for a reason. And as my mentor, Mr. George Bowman( three time Bassmaster Classic qualifier) of Arkansas told me, “Son, if they ain’t there, nobody can catch ‘em.”
Get out there!

The south side of Edisto is still pretty muddy, but there are areas of clearer water, though they don’t last long. Although you can’t see much more than a foot down, Carolyn, Robert, and Lee managed some nice trout on Trout Tricks and Gulps in these areas, Saturday.

The Edisto Open Land Trust’s ” BACK TO NATURE OUTINGS ON EDISTO”is next weekend. Go to www.edisto.org for details. I’ll be doing a fishing seminar Sat afternoon. Also the Gov. Billfish Tournament is the same weekend.

If you look at the base of the corn, you can see a band of weeds, which the cultivator didn’t get.  The real purpose  of running the cultivators thru the corn was to incorporate the chicken manure.  The pic was taken last week, right after I sprayed Roundup.  Sunday, Fran told me the weeds were turning brown.  When the nest flush of weeds show, I’ll put out the nitrogen and spray with Roundup and Atrazine a couple of days later.  The nitrogen, which is necessary for the corn to produce, will promote new growth on the weeds, and they will take the Roundup in better.  The Atrazine will kill weeds underground as they sprout.  All this will keep the deer and turkeys happy next winter.

In the middle of the top photo is the fin of a tailing redfish, like the one being released in the second photo.  The full and new  moon higher tides are required for enough water to flood areas of the salt marsh that don’t see water on normal tides.  When this happens, the reds coming cruising with their backs out of the shallow water, looking for the fiddler crabs they normally can’t get to.  This type of fishing reminds me of deer hunting in the woods.  A lot of the time you see the fish 60-70 yards away, headed toward you.  If this scene doesn’t set your heart to racing, you need to get on the couch!  There’s a full moon this PM, I might just…………

This Banded Water Snake certainly was going for it!  I was prefishing for an FLW tournament on the Red River in La, cranking an underwater rock dike in about twelve feet of water.   The dike came up about four feet from the bottom and was around fifty yards from the bank.  All of sudden this channel catfish came thrashing to the top.  The third time it came up, I saw this snake had it and was headed to my boat, the closest thing above the water.  What was remarkable to me, was this snake had swam down to the underwater dike, caught this fish, whupped him, and after that…..I don’t know.  The fish was awfully big for the snake to eat.

Go to http://edistomarinainc.com/blog/edisto/blog.html to read about the Edisto Marina Governor’s Cup Billfish Tournament  May 13-16.  See you there.

Even if we hadn’t whacked ‘em this AM on the south side of Edisto, my clients were a pleasure. Michelle, who gave this birthday charter to Seth, her boyfriend, caught this red at the first stop on a Gulp. Then we had an hour and a half dry spell (the guide’s nightmare). On the 6th stop it was on! When we left, we were catching nice trout on almost every cast on Trout Tricks, with three more reds thrown in. Enough fish for dinner were kept, the rest released. Great job Michelle and Seth!
