Three of us hit DC today. We pulled into Charleston first thing in the morning, but was a little nervous about going out on the ice from Charleston due to the open water from the inlet. The ice is a ways out from the Charleston ramp, but appears doable once you get across the open water from the inlet. We ended up driving over to the island. We fished North of the island about 200 yds out, moved numerous times, near the shore and all over the little bay area there and ended up about 1/4 mile out towards Charleston. One small bite the entire time we were there from 7am to 11am and had tried everything in the T-Box. It was one of those bad days on the ice...........well as for the fishing anyways! The ice was at least 10" thick with just a small crust of snow perfect for walking. Will try it this next week from the Charleston area.
