We fished 5 days the week of Thanksgiving with good results. We had 2 windy and cold days, with 3 beautiful fishing days, but to my surprize all 5 days produced good numbers of hungry fish. Monday we fished in the Stono River and caught 20 redfish and 21 trout mostly on Zman chatter baits and grubs. Wednesday we fished the Wando River and the nearshore Reef with some kids after getting the kids plenty of action with about 50 sea bass at the reef we moved inshore and caught 35 trout most on live shrimp. Friday fished the Kiawah River and it was windy and cold but my group boated 35 sheepshead and 6 nice redfish. Saturday had a fun family and at first we picked at the trout, but the last spot produced fish almost every cast, they caught 44 trout and a black drum. Tight lines, Capt John Ward
