From a series of short clips from the Outdoor Channel sow The Obsession of Carter Andrews. We shot this last October and had a blast. The first day we did inshore in and around the marsh and the second day was in the harbor. This particular clip has some great drone footage of fish crushing topwater baits. I think we had 11 doubles on topwater. You can catch the show all season long on Outdoor Channel as well as ondemmand. Also check out my youtube page for more clips and will be uploading a full version of the show there as well.

It showcases inshore fishing here in the lowcountry and was filmed in mid October. One of the best times to be here fishing. Some nice shots here from the show by Nathaniel Harrington. Hopefully can get the show uploaded here in full to the site. Hope you enjoy.
Catching Redfish in Charleston with Carter Andrews

EP fly great for redfish in the grass
Soon we will have plenty of finger mullet around in the grass. Here is a great one for those situations when the fish are floating in that sparse grass.
A favorite Redfish fly for tailing fish
I've been adding a bunch of new fly tying videos to my new youtube channel. Here is one of my favorites for fishing in the grass.
Charleston Fishing Report 6/7/17
Fishing has been excellent with a little over a week of perfect weather. Nice calm conditions and some cloudy days made for both good inshore and nearshore fishing. Plenty of Cobia, Amberjacks, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Spade Fish, and other various species have been available nearshore for both fly and spin anglers This bite should persist for the majority of the summer. A few pics from our recent nearshore days.
Inshore bite has been awesome as well. Topwater action and hard baits early in the am as well as a variety of live baits. Redfish, Sea Trout, Flounder, and even a few Tarpon starting to show up.
Acklins Bonefish Trip 3/8/2017
Had a great time down in Acklins Bahamas with a group of friends. Definitely hard to get to but worth the long ride. We had some pretty serious winds the first couple of day but it finally let up a bit , we got some sun, and the fishing was awesome.
DNR Cobia Transmitters
I have had the privledge of working with the DNR this spring on a recent Cobia project. We will be tagging fish with a small transducer that will ping of stations positioned up and down the coast. The receivers are initially in place to track sturgeon in our area. The Cobia will be piggy backing on the same system.
The fish containing transducers all have a double tag on top of the fish. One tag asking to "Please release this fish". Many times these fish are gaffed and by then it is probably too late for a successful release. If you do notice the double tag before capturing the fish please try to handle these fish with care. Tracking the movements of these Cobia will help ensure the survival of this amazing fishery.
2002 Hell's Bay Guide Refurbishment
The time had finally come. If you had fished in my skiff in the past year it was hard not to notice the few thousand hours had taken its toll on the old girl. The non-skid resembled a car windshield and the hull appeared to be a light brown. I'm pretty sure it was guide green at some point. And the cushions were mostly there just to give you a wet ass. Probably providing more discomfort than actual comfort.
It was quite the process but in the end the result was nothing short of incredible. My old 2002 Hell's Bay Guide went in for major surgery in late January.
I had a long list of things that needed to be addressed. Sand the hull, offset the center console, powder coat all the hardware, non-skid, sea-deck, and some major trailer issues.
Jonathan Glasser said no problem and so began a 8 week process of turning an old boat back into new. Honestly I love the boat so much and really could not see myself fishing out of anything else.
The transformation was remarkable. Here are some pics of the finished product. I can't thank Jonathan and his crew enough. The old gal looks like she just rolled off the showroom floor.
