South Carolina Weekly Shallow Saltwater Fishing Report<br>From 12-16-01 through 12-31-01<br><br>There wasn’t much to report these past two weeks. I don’t know if it was the basically non-eventful fishing of the previous weeks, or the September 11th mess, or just a general slowing of the economy that kept clients away. We only fished 2 trips in these past two weeks where we would have normally fished 12 to 18. I did manage to do some fishing with a couple of the other guides, and we had pretty good fishing each time. The weather has been cool to cold some days and then warming back up. The water has cooled back down and the green algae has died out again and the water is very clear. Small and medium reds seem to be in good supply and a few big reds were taken also. All of them are being caught on artificials which include spoons, soft jerk baits, and crank baits. One trip had 18 reds and a flounder and the other had 7 reds, 4 trout and 2 flounder. Our guide with guide trips totaled 26 reds one day and 17 on the other.<br><br>The totals for the week were: reds totaled 68 fish; trout totaled 4 , and flounder totaled 3.<br><br>Thanks, we hope you all have a great new year!!<br><br>Gene Dickson<br><br>Delta Guide Service http://www.deltaguideservice.com<br>Georgetown, SC<br>1-843-546-3645<br><br>We are a saltwater fishing guide service located on the coast of South Carolina.
