Yeah. The new regulation is crazy, sort of. I understand why it's that way though. I just catch and release anything regardless 99% of the time, unless my retired neighbor Mr Butler wants some catfish to make a stew or simething. I trade him about 20 lbs of fresh catfish filets for a deer tenderloin and I'm glad to do it.

My biggest beef is fishing fast water with a Super A Bomber or a creek chub...if you hang a Striper and fight him through running water. He is dieing either way half the time. Its a shame to throw a dead fight in the river because keeping him would mean a $300 fine because he was an inch too short.

Except he would at least consider the proposal before giving up his fishing spot!

Hell, when we go fishing, we even sometimes wrap up our stick baits to keep others from knowing what we are using especially when you end up drawing a crowd because of the fish you are catching on the beach and nobody else is. :D

Haha I do something similar I keep squeeze catfish bait and cheapo plastic wiggly worms to put in my line in crawdad on the river then switch when I get to my spot which is usually a easy mile walk! Hilarious when YA tell Em YA caught it on a 1.50 grub from Walmart

Stripers are fun as hell to catch, in the river.

I love fishing the Congaree and the Wateree for them. The "new" regulations a couple years back basically ruined it for me though. Hard to travel almost 2 hours each way for 3 fish.

Now in contrast, striper fishing in the lake is as boring as fishing gets.

ey had to do the struck regulation an the new bc Asians and assholes would take 15-20 fish a day everyday and from my understanding over 3yrs it almost wiped out the striped bass in lower new river anyway!
 
Fished Big Rock Friday and Saturday. Friday was great!

@Ron Why is it that we live in the same state and haven't linked up to go fishing yet?

@RHSCTJ and I have been talking about going for years.

I'll get one of y'all slackers to go with me one day. :flipoff2:

@XJsavage because
1- you've never invited me with you and
2- Ive never bumped into you with the boat I guess :D

I've got 1 hell of a river boat set up...worked out the kinds for a few years but shes is damn near perfect now....

17' G3...50hp Yammi jet Drive, electric start and tiller steer....if you can float a beer can on it I can navigate it and if you cant its light enough for two big boys to lift and carry
 
The trick here is range. ;) as long as you can hold enough fuel to go 60+ miles, you'll be alright.

70 miles then... Not to shabby!

Cordial invites suck. Just hit me up.
 
Anybody have any recommendations where to fish in Florida on the Atlantic side? Taking my little man to Disney today and want to do some fishing on the way home. Probably stick to intercoastal or just off the shore since he's going.

Jacksonville Beach seems decent. My sister lives there and she goes out less than 10 miles and can get some decent fish
 
I'd love to get down to lugof and fish the ladder but

This brings back memories of fishing the laddar in lugoff for the first time. 16' 40hp jet tiller steer. I was the anchor man. Scared the shit out of me going down the last drop backwards and throwing the anchor. I've had a phobia of jet drive tiller steers ever since.
 
Never heard it called the ladder.
Im assuming you are talking about the ledge to the right of the "first island" at the very upper tip of the island?

Ive seen folks drop it, but honestly never seen the need. I can get up to it on the lower side or anchor well above it and drift back on the upper side.

Not too familiar with lugoff (been probably 3 years) but it's a series of ledges. You had to go from one side of the river to the other. Dropped off one ledge going forward slam the boat in reverse, spin around, drop off the next backwards and throw the anchor. I can't say if it was always like that or if it was because the water was off. Just something I'll never forget.
 
that sounds like some fun stuff
