Speckled Trout and Spottail Bass(Redfish) in Beaufort SC two weeks ago. I love that area. Great fishing and great folks!

Six guys, three boats. No buddy limits, just your fish kept that you caught. Five guys with flyrods, one guy with spinrod and artificials so no live bait. All fish with in the limits and slots per SC DNR.

Saturday night before the fishing begins....Months of work in the flies.

Wow! It looks like you had an awesome trip. I couldn't even begin to imagine how many hours you've spent behind the vise tying that many flies.

Good eating right there.

That is a pretty place. Wife and I camp down there at Hunting Island State Park.

you pass right by the house we rent. It's across the creek from the shrimp boats just before Harbor Bridge on Coffin Point.

We fillet those fish out, then vacuum seal them that night, freeze them,and then on the way home stop at the Publix in Beaufort for dry ice for the trip home. Frozen solid until we get home. I will eat off this trip for a month or so.

Brings back memories, I'm from south Florida. Me and my father fished the Florida Bay several times a year for the entire weekend for seatrout, redfish, snook but we could only keep two redfish a piece I believe. That's a delicious bunch of meals you have ahead of you. Nice work!!
