Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:03 pm Post subject: need help
Ok... I'm new to saltwater fishing. I grew up fishing on the rivers and as of last year decided to expand my fishing to salt. The problem is the the only thing I can catch is trash that you dont keep. Any pointers for trout, sheephead, etc... I'm pretty much up to fish for anything that's good eating. I limit my trips to no more than 10 miles out as I only have a 18.5 sea hunt. Any advise would be appreciated!
Welcome to the site. Trying to teach someone new how to saltwater fish over the internet, is difficult. There are almost as many methods for catching fish as guys chasing them. I'm not trying to sell you short, but I'd consider having a local charter captain go with you, on your boat, using your equipment, and give you some pointers on catching what you want. With gas going to around $5.00 this summer (more than likely), it will be a whole lot cheaper than trying something different each trip based on our postings and coachings. Also, not knowing your experience with running a boat in the ocean, they will help you with your proficiency, too.
That being said, after the full moon in May, I'd take some 00 clark spoons and drag the beach for some Spanish and Blues at 4-6 kts.

You would be better off going with a Capt in "there" boat.
Here in SC to be legal, you would have to buy a 150.00 dollar permit to use your boat for a charter.
The sheepshead are doing great on the nearshore reefs. There are a few nice fish still at the jettys. _________________ Captain Rick Hiotts Inshore Fishing Charters.

You may all so want to Join one of the Fishing Clubs in the area too. This is a good way to learn what other fishermen are doing. The fishing Clubs meeting strat off with a guess speaker about some kind of fishing.
Why did I create a saltwater fishing instruction service?
Friends kept asking me, “How do you catch fish ?”, or they would say “I went fishing and caught nothing”. “I ran aground trying to find places to fish”. After hearing this all too often I knew there was a need to help people with their boating and fishing skills.

How does the Instruction work?
For those “hands-on learners”, we’re available for hire, offering private instructional lessons by the hour or day. This will be extremely popular and best accomplished on your boat, with your tackle, fish finder, GPS, etc. I will also bring some of my fishing equipment to share different techniques. We help fine tune your electronics, teach you to anchor over a piece of structure, decide what species to fish for, the best baits to use, and even how to better care for and cook your catch.

We will meet you at your favorite tackle store or marina and help you make tackle or boat equipment purchases that will really save you money. All tackle is documented and labeled so replacing is easy. Up to date fishing reports will be just a phone call or e-mail away.
