Re: big fish...
My buddy Rich and I fished the low country of Charleston South Carolina this past week. It was a little cold and very windy, but our guide worked his tail off and we managed several nice redfish. Rich even got a big trout and black drum.

Re: big fish...
Beautiful pics, nice catches too Chuck! Love those blue skies. It’s rather grey and frosty here- time for the big ones to strap on the feed bag. Ziphippie

Re: big fish...
Hello Chuck!
Trout are artificial only until May- rooster tail spinners.
Walleyes are all on live bait, fished incredibly slow just off the bottom- they love perch Rapalas until it gets cold. Ziphippie

Re: big fish...
Fish won't move very far or fast for a meal in cold water. Slow is the way to go. I have a saying for fishing cold water down here. "Fish it slow, and when you think you are working it slow, work it slower."

Re: big fish...
another Wisconsin doubleheader! with temps in the 30’s, might as well hit open water. Been fishing this creek for 42+ years with Fiore (pronounced: Fee-Ore) yep that’s right.... Fiore and Bjorn(pronounced: Bee-Orn) we caught at least a dozen trout, this was the nicest.
And then back to the river for some more big walleyes! In January! Ziphippie- Flat_Top

Re: big fish...
Disclaimer: I am not a fisherman non are these my fish, but I do like looking at all the posts you guys make. I do work with a guy that fishes almost every weekend so I asked him if I could post some Utah fishies here.
Here's a little Tiger Muskie.

Re: big fish...
