    Off the Jetty rocks, watch your step. Blue fish 🐟 plentiful. Great fishing effort. . Go black drum.

    I lived there all my life and that's is summer heaven. Rattle snake island what we called it is the island on the back side you have to take a boat or kyayk across. It leads up to the flats. When you first pull in and the water hole up front we called it the granny whole.

      We still call it Granny's. Great for bait! My son and I love hunting fiddlers there too.

    Looks very familiar 😊 great place and they do have a portable restroom at the front across from where the kayakers and SUP’s launch.

      Yeah, Ive actually been there hundreds of times for live bait on the entrance side. I've just never fished the jettie wall. No bathrooms to report way out there by the inlet. Trout fishing is usually hot! Not this day for me. Bluefish bluefish bluefish. It's a good open to the public spot all around. Stay away from the kayak side though Alligator's lol 😂

      @@staugustinesandmanfishing There were ppl bathing with dish soap sharing a CA tagged jetski otw in and some mean locals that apparently have fished there 50 years n didn't appreciate me being there. I bailed for salt run and still only got one fish . Bummer. Part of the learning process. Ill try again on a better tide n stay away from people completely next time.

    Could’ve tried a paddle tail to try and change it up, no?

      @staugustinesandmanfishing  2 года назад

      Yeah, good idea. I thought about that. The guys to my left were throwing artificial and they weren't hooking up so, I decided to keep with my bait to actually get a rod bends.

    That's not a Khale hook. That is a mutu circle.

    • @staugustinesandmanfishing
      @staugustinesandmanfishing  2 года назад

      Oh You're right, the other rig had a Khale hook on it. I just accidentally Freudian slipped. Good catch. Thanks for keeping it honest. Yes, it's a circle hook on that one. I use lots of different set ups for bottom fishing. 2/O & 3/O Khale and Circle hooks are my favorites for Carolina/fish finder rigs. The mutu circular definitely keeps em from spitting it.
