Thanks Dave!

Slow isn't what I wanted to hear man! How about the bottom fishing out of Charleston has it been doing anything as of late??

Tuna trips have been canceled for a while due to weather and the warm water is so far off shore. but hopefully this wind swithces and that changes.

Salmon is definitely slow for Charleston the commercials are fishing out at 300', but I hear Winchester is picking a few from my sources. Bottomfishing however is always pretty good, there's still a lot of lings being caught. People are starting to catch a few in the upper tide sections of the river right now so it won't be long before all of the rivers down here are packed full.

Kurt,

Last time I was down there was 7/27 and it was pretty rough. Picked up one chinook and one coho and came back in after 20 minutes. Up until then I was out just about every weekend. Best time so far was the 4th of July weekend.

I was thinking of going Sunday, but not sure yet, with the wind predictions. I figured you had to be out in at least 200'. Sounds like 300' is the depth now.

I think I seen you pass me a couple of weekends ago on I-5 near the I-105 turn off. Was that you? That's a nice boat you have too! I can only think of one Maxxum I've seen that looks shabby and that was a black one. I think it was one of the first made.

If you get out there good luck! Let me know how you do!
