8 1/4-inch medium shrimp
3 large garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. salt and pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
1 bunch of broccoli cut up
8 oz. angel hair
Directions:
Marinade: Toss together: Shrimp, garlic, salt

shrimp for 3 hours in the refrigerator. After
marinating, remove the garlic pieces. Add 3
tablespoons butter.
Pasta: In a large saucepan, add broccoli and
bring to a boil. Drain and return to saucepan;

Mind
Your Wake
About a year ago a good friend of mine got married out
on Goat Island behind Isle of Palms. My wife and I decided we would
make a full day of the festivities and put the boat in at Sol Legare
for a nice boat ride up the Stono, across the harbor and up the
ditch. We arrived around noon for a 1 o'clock wedding to make sure I
could secure a good spot on the floating dock for my boat.
About mid-way through the reception I decided to walk
down to the dock and make sure the boat was sitting ok as it was low
tide. When I got down to the floating dock I noticed a large motor
yacht coming down the waterway heading south. I was tied up to a
dock that was right in front of the no wake zone buoy for the Isle
of Palms Marina and anticipated the yacht slowing down for the buoy.
The captain never touched the throttles. He was running about
12-knots and pulling a 3-foot vertical wake. As the wake approached
my 23-foot center console sitting in 3-feet of water it literally
broke over the transom. 200-gallons of chocolate milk colored water
covered my wife’s beach bag and towels, a dress she had brought to
change into after the wedding, and several other items. I yelled
loud enough for the Captain to hear me inside his fancy air
conditioned bridge, but he did not bother to slow down. I was
furious and attempted to hail the captain on the VHF to give him a
piece of my mind; but he would not respond. I then heard several
others calling the same vessel about his wake, but still no
response. In hind site I should have called the Coast Guard to
report the wreckless operator in hopes that no one else’s property
suffered the wrath of his vessel's wake.

Marine Anglers:
Judging by the reports of fishermen from Alabama to New
York, dolphin fishing has followed the same pattern as the previous
six years. What I mean by that is that no two years have been
similar. Distributions of dolphin along the U.S. East Coast appear
to be highly variable year-to-year in temporal and spatial
occurrence as-well-as abundance. While anglers in the South Atlantic
Bight lament a good but abbreviated season this year, fishermen in
the Mid-Atlantic Bight are reveling in one of their better dolphin
years in a decade. To a large degree, dolphin distribution is a
product of their environment. As the Florida and Gulf Stream
currents under go changes along with the entire North Atlantic
Ocean, dolphin movements and distribution will be directly effected.
Knowing this has not changed the fact that summer
tagging activity remains low. This year however, it appears that the
program is benefiting from a significant increase in angler
cooperation. As of September 1, five more tagged fish have been
reported recovered since the July newsletter, bringing the total
tags reported to 46. Subsequently the research program is achieving
one of its primary objectives, large number of tag recoveries, more
efficiently.
Thanks to all of the fishermen and financial supporters
who are making this year’s study a big success.
Good fishing,

Dillon Country Boat
Ramp Is Temporarily Closed
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control
is overseeing an environmental cleanup project in Dillon County that
will temporarily close a boat ramp. A leak from an above-ground
gasoline storage tank at a convenience store adjacent to the bridge
on US Highway 301 North in Dillon County has been repaired, but the
work to clean up the contamination from the leak will require the
boat ramp at the US Highway 301 North Bridge to be closed for about
two weeks. The project is set to begin the week of Sept. 14. Cleanup
of this site will include removing contaminated soil, installing a
trench system to collect the gasoline floating on top of the water
table, and periodic maintenance and removal of gasoline. Fencing
will be placed around the cleanup area. Access to the boat ramp will
not be affected once the trench system is in place and operating.
Venomous Lionfish Should Be Avoided By Divers, Anglers
Lionfish, an introduced marine species with highly
venomous spines, should be avoided or handled with great care by
divers and anglers, according to the S.C. Department of Natural
Resources. The lionfish is a native of Pacific coral reefs and now
inhabits much of the Bahamas, Caribbean and the Southeast coast
including South Carolina. It is thought to have escaped from the
aquarium trade in Florida in the early 1990s. Lionfish have 18
venomous spines that contain a neurotoxin capable of causing extreme
pain and possibly nausea, paralysis and convulsions, although they
weigh only about a pound as adults. Anyone stung by a lionfish
should seek immediate medical treatment. Learn more about lionfish

The Final Word |
An
excellent week to get on the fish! Offshore water
temperatures remain the in the low to mid-eighties so there
are still plenty of Kings, some great Sailfish action, nice
Dolphin and plenty of Barracuda.
I fished inshore on Friday after work and managed to
pick up 4 nice Flounder in just under half and hour fishing
an inlet in the Folly with jerk baits on a ½ once head. The
fall mullet run is in full swing so we fished the surf on
Saturday and we picked up one Red about 30-inches, a Black
Tip in the 30 to 40 pound range (Shark put on a great aerial
show,) missed several blue fish and a few more Reds. Also
saw several others nice Reds caught all on live finger
mullet. Water temps remain good for the Tarpon and several
anglers have had good luck over the last couple of weeks.
With an upcoming new moon tide in the 6-foot plus range the
tailing tides are here. Reds are being caught in the grass
on DOA shrimp, jerk baits, and spoons. The Trout bite
remains good, with some nice fish over 16-inches being
caught early morning and late afternoon on topwater such as
Zara Spooks. The Sheepshead are at the jetties and around
other structure in the harbor. Enjoy some great weather and
a good college game on the radio and get on em’!
Tight
lines…
