Surf Fishing - Nov 2012

I recently had the pleasure of fishing with my good friend Adam Metts who I hadn't fished with in many years. Adam has always enjoyed surf fishing in South Carolina so we decided to make the run out to one of the barrier islands south of Myrtle Beach to spend the day targeting redfish. Using fresh caught mullet as bait, we arrived at our chosen destination late in the falling tide.  Action was steady until the tide bottomed out and began to rise, that's when the bite really kicked into high gear. As fresh ocean water began to cover the sandbar, edger redfish ranging from 10-30lbs advanced to feed on confused baitfish flushed around by the rising tide. Rods stayed doubled over for the next 45 mins until we were forced to retreat back to the boat and head home.


Here is Adam with his personal best - 42in Redfish..
