Celebrating 2014 and Excited for 2015!

2014 was a fantastic year.  

 

We earned some awesome recognition; such as Best of Charleston's SUP company, #2 on TripAdvisor for all of the activities in Charleston, the best place to paddle by National Geographic, featured on FurReal TV, we helped film an episode of The Social Life,  and have been on the top 25 things to do in Charleston by multiple hotels, guidebooks, and travel planners. We have so many people to thank for that, but most especially you!

We're asking for a favor. The preliminary voting has just opened for 2015's Best of Charleston, and it closes on January 6th. We need you to vote! It takes about 2 minutes and will make a lasting impact for COA. After January 6th, the top four nominees in each category move on to the final voting.

We can't wait to see you floating down Folly Creek, perfecting your headstands on paddle boards, practicing the Duffek stroke for kayaking, and making lasting memories with friends, loved ones, and family!

Have a wonderful rest of your holiday and Happy New Year to you!! 

Captain Red Fish Wild Bill’s Fishing Report!

Red Fish!

Sheepshead!

Within the past few weeks the bite has picked up for sheepshead, red fish, and trout. With rising water temperatures, we should start seeing the fish moving into the grass to spawn and feed. When fishing bottom structures and pylons use jig heads with live minnows and Carolina rigs with mullet. Using live bait such as shrimp, mud minnows, menhaden, and even croaker will help you set that hook. Popping corks with live shrimp and mud minnows along the grass line are starting to prove effective as well. 

   

As far as sheepshead fishing, fiddler crabs are going to be your main source of bait over the oyster meat. Due to the rising water temperatures and the spring season, the fiddler crabs are beginning to grow and mature which is making them a tastier treat for the sheepshead. Look for that black and white striped fish inshore off dock pilings and other hard surfaces in the water. Hope to see you out here soon!

Trout!
