Ya Mon! But we won't be in our Seahunt 260 this year (keeping it down in FL for the Summer). We'll be in a 26 Cape Horn for this SKA season. Hope the conditions do not get ugly like last year... that was one hour of life jacket wearin', white knuckle holdin' her into the waves that we don't need to repeat.

Weather permitting I'll have my boat there Sunday.

We will be there. Let's hope it doesn't get too sloopy. We won't be on the contender we are fishing a friends 2380 sailfish see you there.

Pre fished friday and caught 8 kings in a matter of about 2 hrs.... busy as it was just 2 of us. None with much size, but none the less we were on em.

Went back saturday with bigger bait (pogies) and the water had changed from nice blue to fairly bad green. had to move and didn't find much action till about 3:30... too late in the day

bennyray - Same here... seemed like the bite improved around 3:30PM. We picked at 'em, but 11.8 was all we could do. Caught several nice Mahi further offshore earlier in the day though. Hopin' for better luck in the Got 'Em On.

Too be honest I was getting frustrated and bored... I was just driving along and looked back at the sonar and saw a 'cloud' on it. As soon as I say we might be on to something we heard a reel go off. ~15lbs... we worked the spot a few more times, but with no luck. A fish actually gutted a bait but didnt get hooked, im still not sure how....

We knew 15lbs wasnt gonna do it, so we saved our gas and didnt make the run, we fished out of murrells inlet
