Red Snapper Season

[Saltydog235]

Murrells Inlet north and they aren't that prevalent in my fishing grounds.

I’ve caught them all over the Parking Lot and a few at Belkie over the years. I rarely go up there since I no longer trailer the boat though.

No arguing that, and those fish are definitely mature, but fish over 10 years old are largely absent. The 30-40lbers used to be frequently captured. The assessment models sees those missing as well as post-release mortality of released fish which points towards an overfished stock. The managers are constrained by the more restrictive rules under the Magnuson Steven’s reauthorization, so hands are tied until stock assessment results indicate they are no longer overfished.

There is a photo of my great grandfather in the book ‘Tales of Beaufort.’

On a dock in Port Royal holding up (2) 40-50lb snappers in the 1940s.
In background there is a pile of em behind him.

It’s mind boggling to me how commercial offshore fishing was so successful without gps and sonar.

Saturday is looking a little better

[Summer DucK]

Still monitoring also, maybe Saturday

I'd imagine the mortality rate from releasing fish is pretty high. Either from not releasing correctly or by sharks getting them.

This right here. Learn to fillet and release.

Absolutely....

Here's my pro tip to share with y'all...have a ziplock bag with your ceviche fixings ready to go. Filet an release right into the ziploc, 30-45 mins later your fresh snapper ceviche is ready

We’re gonna stick our noses out tomorrow. Anyone else?

Decided to stay inshore, don't wanna chance it so we are going for flounder and trout instead. This means it will be dead calm out on the ocean since we made this call. The Parker rides good, but not that good.

Sitting here on the beach and wind definitely has been picking up.

If ya have a boat grill and catch em and eat em right on the spot in a
tin foil pack, seasonings and a few veggies in the foil pack.....
do they count toward your limit and do those eaten on the scene have to be
in a specific season? Asking for a friend

Season is what you put on the meat.

I'm looking forward to a couple cold natural lights and stories from Peter pan.

We stayed in, was down by Morris Island lighthouse and the wind was flat out honking! Caught several nice flounder, biggest right at 20". Went the opposite way towards Kiawah and caught some trout. Def glad we stayed in today.

Was snotty ride out, but not as bad as we thought, 20 out, 30 mph in. Fished in 100’

3 ARS, 10-15lbers.
Kept an assortment of other critters, one legal cobia, 1 BSB, couple beeliners , couple triggers, and a rock hind.

Released several kings, a couple short cobia and a pile of bottom critters.
