I found some nice sheltered spots next to docks and flat wore out the reds. I stopped counting when my camera messed up and wouldn't shoot any more pix. Caught 6 and broke off one in a 10 minute spell.
Best guess is 15 to 20 reds ranging from 17 to 30 inches.
2 freight trains broke me off today. The first got into the pilings. The second I grabbed to spool to keep it from getting to the pilings and 30 lb braid popped like a pistol shot.
YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA Spring is coming early.
I'm splicing together a nice video highlight reel...

Good work. Hard to find a sheltered spot. Took my son yesterday and managed to get a couple of sheeps and a few spots. Almost got blown clear to Savannah!

There have been good fish in the Stono all winter. It's the bite window that's been really , really tight this year.

First cast Saturday morning brought this to the boat.

When I netted it I looked down in the water and saw some braid floating and a popping cork against a piling. Wanted to be a nice guy and get trash out of the river... This was still attached.

Handlining an angry red is a hoot.

I noticed this winter that the bite would "turn on" for a pretty short period of time. I may see fish all over the place during a day, but they'd only bite for 30 minutes to an hour.
