Redfish in Bulls Bay



I went this past weekend to Charleston, SC to catch some Tarpon in Bulls Bay with Capt. J. R. Waits out of the Isle of Palms marina.

We haven't had any measurable rain in almost six weeks, then I plan a fishing trip and the storms of teh year arrive! But we kept fishing. I can't say enough about Capt. JR Waits and his effort to put us on a Tarpon. We struggled the first day in the storms to catch bait, but we finally got some and fished hard and landed one big Redfish and some decent sharks.

On day two the storms really hit, blowing 40+MPH and raining sideways! but we stuck it out, and did some fishing for some reds during some of the lull's of the storm. Using ultralight tackle, and Gulp! Alive bait, we caught some nice fish. It was a real blast catching them on that light tackle.

Back out in Bulls Bay, I landed my personal best redfish, weighing 26lbs! I was pumped to catch a fish like that! It made riding out those storms worthwhile to get a fish like that.

I highly recommend Capt. J. R. Waits of Fishcall charters for any fishing charter in Charleston. If you want redfish, or Tarpon this is the man. He will show you a great time, and definitely give his all.
