Fresh Winyah Bay Fishing Reports

Bryan from SC fished alone this trip but caught 8 bull reds. Wind finally calmed down and a great afternoon.

John Moore and Dillon put 11 more bull reds in the boat on day 2 of their trip. Weather went from sunning to clouds and a light drizzle. Another great day fishing on Winyah Bay.

Clients John and Dillon traveled from Virginia for a 6 hour charter. The bull redfish were hungry. They put a total of 11 in the boat. I don't carry scales to weigh these old warriors. Get a quick photo and back in the water. I have no doubt the largest one today was around the 50 lb mark and could be 40 + years old.

My combo trips for speckled trout and bull reds are LIMITED TO TWO CLIENT TRIPS. Client's should be experienced and proficient with light spinning gear . We'll split the time accordingly fishing for bull reds and trout based on tides and the bite. I do allow speckled trout to be kept and SC has a very liberal limit of 10 trout per angler with a minimum size limit of 14"s.

John and Jim from Virginia caught 20 bull redfish from 15 to 40 lbs with me on 9/19/23. Days with double digit numbers of bull reds will become more common as the water continues to cool down October and November. I have a very limited number of days left in October so don't delay , book today. Thanks Capt Mike Coley

Water temperatures in September allow us the opportunity to fish for tarpon, big bull redfish and big sharks ALL IN THE SAME TRIP. ( Tarpon usually leave by early October as water cools down ) Tarpon are always a bonus and certainly the hardest to catch. ALL FIRST RESPONDERS take advantage of the $100.00 discount. Book your trip and bring a positive attitude towards spending time outdoors on beautiful Winyah Bay. Thanks Capt Mike
