    Default Who wants to go fishing for hookers and blow?

    CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Two Lowcountry recreational fishermen ended their fishing trip late Sunday afternoon with an unexpected catch.

    The cocaine, estimated to be worth between $750,000 and $1 million, was found floating approximately 70 miles southeast of Charleston.

    They pulled in a package floating in the water that appeared to be wrapped in black plastic and was later found what police officers said was presumed cocaine.

    The fishermen, whom we are not identifying, were approximately offshore approximately 70 miles southeast of Charleston when they spotted debris floating and a school of Mahi-mahi jumping around it.

    “We trolled past it,” one of the fishermen said. “Every time time we passed it we caught a fish.”


    After approximately three hours of fishing, the duo decided to see what the debris was and pulled it aboard their boat. When they looked inside the package, they immediately notified the Coast Guard, which immediately coordinated a response.

    North Charleston Police officers met them at an area marina and examined the contents of the package, estimating it to be between 30 and 50 kilos of cocaine.

    Coast Guard Lt. j.g. Phillip VanderWeit said the amount of cocaine found could carry a street value of between $750,000 and $1 million.

    “It definitely doesn’t happen off the Charleston coast every day,” VanderWeit said. “It’s a bit more common further south, whether in the Caribbean or the south Pacific.”


    The Coast Guard has partnered with Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Agency and local authorities, he said.

    “They absolutely did the right thing in notifying the Coast Guard,” VanderWeit said.

    The investigation will attempt to determine the source of the drugs, he said.

    Wonder how well packed the package was?

    May have some fish that test positive for coke!
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Would you have called the Coast Guard if it were 10 million in cash?
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    Nope and I doubt I would have called them had I been these guys.

    I'd have left it floating and kept fishing. That's a good way to get kilt......

    I’m with you. I want no part of all that. Would have made a couple passes, and left that junk floating where it was.

    You mean that you don't think the Cartels play by finders keepers rules?

    The packing process that the cartel uses is pretty dang amazing!! It's all we can do to cut into a kilo to test it. It's wrapped in plastic, then hard rubber, and finally cardboard with more plastic wrap over the top. Very seldom do we get any that have water intrusion and most of what we pick up has been jettisoned into the water with several hours to a day or so of soaking time.

    Personally I'd rather find cash floating than cocaine. It would be very hard to move the cocaine for the average person even if you feel you have connections in the drug world. The stuff that's being shipped in is 100% pure and can't be handled by your local county hook up. You'd have to know some serious people in order to cut it and make is suitable for personal use. Chances are you'd be found in a back alley filled with holes the minute anyone with the capabilities found out what you had. Probably the reason you don't see a bunch of Coasties driving around in Ferraris and owning 50' Hatteras Sportfishing boats! LOL
    Living in Moncks Corner but looking forward to moving back to the West Coast in 2020 where there are more ducks and less duck hunters!! LOL

    I saw a YT sailing video the other day where a guy dropped the hook behind an island, flew his drone up only to see about 750 kilos laid out on a beach on the other side. They had tent warehouses set up and I guess they were airing them out in the sun. Freaky as shit...

    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
