Good stuff! I love targeting redfish on the SC coast. I like HHI when I go on a family vacation but my favorite spot for just a hard core fishing trip is St Helena Island because there's a really nice campsite there called Tuck in the Woods. The campsite has a lot of woods around it and it's so peaceful. Plus I can drive to a few landings in less than 10 minutes from there.
I went a couple weeks ago and started out strong, then got the flu and had to come home early. On my first day of the trip I only fished from 2pm until about 6pm and caught 6 reds to get my two in the slot. The others were overslot. All sight casted.
Headed back this weekend to have a redo of that trip. I fish out of a kayak so I can get way up in those flats and we've got a full moon so I'll have all sorts of water to stalk tailing redfish in. It's an absolute riot sneaking up on them and then watching them eat your lures.
As a bonus, I toss a small cast net from my kayak to catch fresh shrimp. Some are used for bait at creekmouths on the falling tide, some are tossed in butter and Tony C's at camp for the freshest shrimp I've ever eaten.
