Hey Everyone, sorry I have been inactive for a while. My job had me busy 7 days a week for the last couple of months. Finally managed to get out on the water and had a blast chasing (and landing) over slot reds in 8-10 inches of water. I fished from 6am-8:30am around docks and oyster bars. Saw a TON of reds chasing shrimp in the shallows and managed to get a few bigger ones to chase my baits. I was using a Zman Diesel Minnowz (pinfish color) on a 3/16 oz flutter hook, pictured below. I love the flutter hooks when fishing the shallows with oysters because of the slower sinking action, leading to less snags on the beds. Does anyone else use this technique/rig?
Thanks so much for the fine report and the great pictures, what a treat.

I am moving this to preferred status on the Home Page right now
Thank you very much! I will be posting more often with pics and videos now that my work has slowed down a bit. Fishing is my passion and I enjoy sharing my experiences with everyone in our town! I learned a great deal from this forum 19 years ago when I first moved to Charleston!
Wow EF’er, you already gave Uncle Nutz the boot on the “preferred/featured status” Home Page… Man, this is cut throat, it was only up for about an hour as the featured one…
Nice video Kevin! I’m pretty sure I know that spot with a dock but you don’t have to worry about me poaching your fish. That place is WAY TO SHALLOW for my bay boat.
