I am from Rockingham, NC yes we used to have Nascar races and I got to know several of the drivers. But Nascar got to big and left our great track. I fish out of Ocean Isle and Little River for King, Spainish, Flounder. Well try to fish for flounder I get them to the boat alot of times to lose them. Guess like you blame your poor golf shots not the club or ball, but the person holding it. I started reading this forum and enjoy it. A lot of helpful information. I am a memeber of the Charlotte Offshore Sport Fishing Club. Hope to one day be able to fish the SKA. Right now though time and getting a couple of friends to fish with me hard to come by.

Hey all, this is my first post and my first time browsing THT.
I live in Charleston, SC. Looks like a lot of you guys in this group are from NC. I currently am the proud owner of a 1973 Aquasport CC w/ 08' Suzzy 4Stroker. I've been around boats my entire life, but lately, I can't seem to find any fish around the Charleston Harbor area and was hoping one of the members of this group might be able to help me out.
I would love to catch a mess of reds, but any success that anyone has had with any inshore species; please share!
Does anyone happen to know what the popular VHF channel fisherman are using around the Charleston Harbor area?
Thanks
