We went out for an hour and a half at the jetties for some redfish. After we boated 3 good sized reds and 2 sharks, another huge redfish started screaming off some line. After an incredible fight, we finally got this 48 1/2″ bull red drum to the boat. It weighed 36 pounds! We trimmed 4 broken leaders out of its mouth ranging from 30-50# test line. After reviving the red drum it swam away. Best thing about this fish is that it was caught by my dad! More reports…
Avid Angling is offering a special opportunity for weekday charters! For groups up to 6 people, Avid Angling has teamed up with other charter captains in the area to take two boats (3 per boat) to catch sharks (with a chance at catching tarpon) in the Charleston Area. Double the captains=more fish! We cater to Kiawah Island, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms and anywhere in between, including Downtown Charleston. Come fish light tackle and battle 5 foot long sharks that will strip line like crazy! Fishing trips are set up tournament style, with both boats fishing within yelling distance of each other, so you can hold up your shark yell, “Hey Dad! Check this one out, waaaay bigger than yours!”. This is a great, low cost, exciting style of fishing. Please call Capt. Mike Illig at 843.566.3433 for rates and details! This trip is good for larger families, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and people who want to experience ocean fishing without the huge costs of heading to the gulf stream. This is a great charter at an unbeatable price!
See you this summer!
