The Surf Mystery
     “And don’t forget, Thursday is dollar mystery beer night at such and such tavern!”
    You used to hear it advertised on the radio all the time. Basically you handed the bar tender a dollar, he reached into the bottom of a cooler and whatever brand beer he grabbed you got! You may get a high dollar bottled import, a good domestic, or you may end up with something so nasty tasting that it would make a Billy Goat puke.
     If you ask me the mystery is one of the best aspects to summertime surf fishing in the Carolinas. You just never know what flavor you may tie into. While large Redfish are usually my personal favorite target in the surf, there is always some fun by catch to keep you entertained. Tarpon frequent the same waters in the summertime as well as both Spanish and King Mackerel, all types of sharks, Bluefish, Whiting, Trout, and Flounder. Perhaps the less favorable flavors would be Sail Cats, rays, and tiny sharks.

This Week's News

DNR partners with Harry Hampton Hunting and Fishing Expo
    
The public can learn first-hand about South Carolina’s matchless natural resources and why the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) says "Life’s Better Outdoors!" on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Harry Hampton Hunting and Fishing Expo at the Spartanburg Expo Center in Spartanburg. Exhibits, displays, hands-on activities and seminars will showcase DNR’s efforts to protect, conserve and manage the state’s woods, fresh and salt waters and marine resources.
     The Expo will be held August 21-23 at the Spartanburg Expo Center, 6655 Pottery Road, Spartanburg (Interstate 26, Exit 17). The Hunting & Fishing Expo will be open from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21; from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission to the Expo is $6, and parking is free. Kids 7-12 get in for $4; children under 7 are admitted free.
     DNR will feature demonstrations, live animals and more. Visitors will learn about hunting, freshwater and saltwater fisheries and a host of related subjects. Highlighting DNR’s exhibits will be their popular Take One Make One (TOMO) Mobile Education Trailer. TOMO specifically targets youth and young adults who have not experienced a previous shooting or hunting activity. The TOMO mobile education trailer features indoor BB shooting ranges, virtual reality shooting and more. DNR’s boating mascot, Zip It! will also be on hand promoting safety on the water and reminding everyone to wear a PDF (personal flotation device).
     The agency will also have a virtual fishing simulator set up for the thrill of catching not only freshwater species, but offshore big game as well. DNR’s Marine Resources Division will have marine species on hand for those who want the supervised experience of touching a marine animal.
     The agency will offer free TEAM DNR stickers to all who attend.
     The Harry Hampton Hunting & Fishing Expo is sponsored by the Harry Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund Inc. The Hampton Fund is a private, non-profit corporation governed by a volunteer board of directors from across South Carolina which partners with DNR to benefit conservation of wildlife, marine and other natural resources in South Carolina. Funds are obtained solely through private donations, special promotional projects and fund-raising events. The Hampton Fund uses proceeds to fund natural resources conservation projects in South Carolina. Examples include programs such as Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs; Operation Game Thief; Project WILD, Camp Wildwood and becoming An Outdoors Woman.

The Final Word

     Another great week for fishing. It was a little bumpy offshore on Sunday, but I think most folks got there fix in for the Miracles Tournament on Friday and Saturday. Speaking of the tournament, lots of nice Kings caught, many in the 30s, they are out here for sure so get on em! Offshore action has also been great for Sails with a lot of fish caught in shallow over the weekend with live bait. The Dolphin bite remains good, and the Swordfish bite has been excellent for those die hard overnighters.
     We fished inshore on Saturday for Tarpon. Managed a few sharks and a big ray on live mullet, but no silver kings. Did pick up dinner or the way back to the house with a nice flounder on a finger mullet fishing the docks in the Folly. Fished the surf on Sunday with the family, no Reds just some cut offs from sharks. The tides have been perfect the week for tailing reds. Most are doing well with DOA shrimp, jerk baits, and spoons. We should have 6-foot plus tides right on into next week. The Trout bite remains good, but most of the Trout seem to be on the smaller side currently. The Spadefish remain at the reef and the Sheepshead are at the jetties and around other structure in the harbor.

Tight lines…
