Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Reported: 2 months ago

Had a trip last week and we got on the sheepshead pretty good. They are great for eating and a 5 hour trip is usually perfect to get plenty for dinner.

Water is in the mid ti upper 40s, reds are schooled up in the shallows and rivers in big numbers. Bite is great when they decide to chew!

Lots of slow-pitch jigging recently! Big sea bass are all over and limiting out on them nearshore has been simple.
