Well, I finally made the trek to the Charleston area this past weekend with my wife. We got to spend the part of 2 days on the beach, and North Folly was it. Very, very nice area. Fished the Surf on the ocean side of the point for the first hour or so on Friday , then moved around the point for the rest of the afternoon, and all of our time out on Saturday. There is a distinct channel coming in the inlet that is literally a rod's length from the sand. Fished with a few of the locals, and they were nailing the Whiting left and right. Great people - The one guy - John is his name ( stretch armstrong on the charlestonfishing.com site) just took his inshore captains test last week . He is a good hook up for us if anyone from up north wants to get a trip together in the future. I managed to get into the Whiting and 1 small seabass on Saturday. It finally warmed up on Saturday , and we couldn't have had a nicer last day there. Got to fish with a very nice 12 year old young man on Saturday - Kyle- from the Charlotte area. He really new what he was doing . We both managed to get into the fish for a while and had alot of fun.

I realize that we were in a very historical area, but , we needed some beach time after 10 hours of driving. Hopefully I get to go down there again with more time for the sight seeing experience to go with the fishing. To all of you folks who live down there, I really hope you understand what kind of an amazing fishing region you are in. I think it would take a lifetime for a local person to get to know the vast fishing area's that are there.

Hopefully , some of you folks will want to join me for a trek to this fishing mecca at some point in the next year. It is truly worth the effort it will take to make it happen!!!
